Day tour with George!

5.00We had an amazing tour today with George our tour guide... he made the experince amazing! The tour was so good, all day out in the 4 x 4 and we saw some incredible secenery. We got to go high in the mountains and even saw vultures which is something we really wanted to see! We had some traditional oil/wine/raki tasting, made pots, went to the thematic park and learnt about greek mythology and had some incredible food and drink at a traditional greek taverna with an amazing view. We learnt so much from our tour guide and he couldnt do enough for us, like taking pictures for us , opening the car door, great music and the knowledge he shared. We thought it was well worth the money, would definitely reccomend this tour. It felt like you had stepped back into a traditional greek life for the day and felt like a real cultural experience.
The experience of a lifetime

5.00Our guide was very knowledgeable and totally into his job- we enjoyed him immensely! He took time to explain everything and made us feel comfortable the entire time - never rushed us and let us take time at each stop. We went thru many narrow roads up and down the mountains and explained every location to us - when it was over we didn’t want it to end
A fun day trip!

5.00Exceptional Service. Knowledgeable guide. Iosef gave us great insights into the Cretan way of life and drove us on winding roads so we could get the closest view possible from our off road vehicle. He brought us to a family run business, where Popi was the perfect hostess. She treated us like family! We tasted different Cretan wines, oils and liquor and even had a pottery lesson on the wheel! The traditional Cretan lunch was delicious! We highly recommend this tour. Nothing better!
An education and a fun day out.

5.00George was a delight. It was as much an interesting herbology safari as anything! Stopping by the road to pick and smell local herbs at various altitudes as we climbed to the valley and beyond. Fantastic lunch with an amazing view. Pottery stop was also fun. Just hoping we can get them home without breaking them! George had the gift of the gab, and the seniority on the routes to know everything there is to know. Recommended.
Fantastic tour of the Lasithi Plateau

5.00George was a faultless guide/driver for the day - very personable and knowledgeable. There were four of us on the tour, and we got to know our fellow travellers. Stunning viewpoints of the coast and the Lasithi Plateau, enjoyable stops in Krasi and at a family-run food and ceramic business with tastings, lots of the promised windmills dotted around the plateau, and the lunch (starters, mains, dessert, water, wine and raki) was really tasty in a lovely location. Couldn’t be better.
What a great ride and history lesson of the island.

5.00Our guide, story teller, driver Joseph was very knowledgeable. We went places that other tours did not dare to go. Lunch was more than we ever expected. Loved the small group. The SUV can only hold 5, there were 4 in our group.
