5.00Cristian was a great guide. He really engaged with us and there was never a dull moment with our group. He has deep knowledge of the area and brought us to see local shops that had delicious samples and offerings of olives, olive oils, wines, and pottery. The views were amazing and the lunch was outstanding. Thank you!
Enjoyed a beautiful piece of Crete!

5.00We had a great day yesterday. Our guide Alex was fantastic, he is sociable and has told us a lot. We enjoyed beautiful views, drove through cute villages and went a bit of the road. The wine, oil and raki tasting was tasty, but went a bit fast because a group came after us. I loved the pottery, a fun experience. And the lunch was fantastic, we had a really great meal, and the wine tastes like more too;-) This day is a beautiful holiday memory, thank you Alex and our cozy group, we had a very nice time.
Superb safari day with Cristian.

5.00We were picked up punctually by Cristian in front of the hotel; the contact was quick and easy from the start. The landscapes were magnificent, and the activities and tastings were top-notch. We shared the vehicle with some English people and four French individuals. Cristian took the time to explain things in both languages (even though we understand a bit of English). His smile and good humor were present, to the point that by the end of the day, it was difficult to part ways. Cristian's professionalism really puts you at ease; I highly recommend it, and I plan to do it again with my children next time. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CRISTIAN, and to the entire team.
Great safari day

5.00We were promptly taken care of by CRISTIAN in front of the hotel; the contact was very quick and easy, and he made us feel at ease right from the start. The landscapes were magnificent, as were the activities and tastings... everything was top-notch. In the vehicle, there were 2 English speakers and 4 of us French speakers; he took the time to explain things in both languages (even though we understand a bit of English). His smile and good humor were present, to the point that by the end of the day it was difficult to part ways. His professionalism really puts you at ease; honestly, I recommend it, and I would do it again with my children next time. Thank you very much, CRISTIAN and the whole team
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!
