Superb scenery landscaped and wildlife Longish times in the jeep but fairly frequent quick stops between destinations. May be cramped if on the larger size but comfortable for the majority.

5.00Our guide Jeff was an awesome guide through the mountains of Crete. Although he is not from Crete, he is passionate about the lifestyle of Crete. He shared the smells of Crete by foraging roadside herbs like fennel, oregano, and sage. He also made us appreciate the sounds of Crete, such as the melodious ringing of the bells on the goats. He also shared his firsthand knowledge about olive farms. He was a gracious host always opening the door for us, making sure we were taken care of at the restaurant, and provided many opportunities for photos of the beautiful country we saw. We highly recommend this tour!

5.00Highly recommend this trip up into the mountains discovering the sights smells and sounds of the countryside. Geoff our guide is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the area including the flora, fauna and history. He is very amusing and kept us all entertained throughout the day. We had a fabulous authentic meal in a taverna in the mountains. We also had a tour of an olive oil producer in Old Malia. Thanks to Geoff for a wonderful trip we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

5.00Geoff was an incredible guide. He's a natural storyteller. He so clearly loves Crete and delighted in sharing its history with us. My husband and I had already fallen in love with Crete, but Geoff made us love and appreciate the land and its people even more. We loved the olive oil, honey, and cheese we sampled, and the provided lunch was delicious as well. We really appreciated Geoff's advice on how best to enter and exit Zeus's cave, and he made sure our expectations were reasonable so we could make an informed decision about whether to take the option to see it (we were glad we saw it). Highly, highly recommend this tour! Thanks again, Geoff! You're a stellar human!
