  What an amazing experience! To be honest (said the same to George) I was a bit sceptic, as he had only 5-star reviews so far (could be a bot, you never know). But it was definitely worth 5 stars! He is such a funny and considerate person. It felt more like a fun hike with a friend, frankly speaking. He has taught us so much about Crete, the vegetation that we saw during the hike and a bit of history. He met our expectations and went beyond! Thank you for our Special Forces training ;) Only good vibes!

• Unforgettable!

  The highlight of our trip to Greece! George was a great guide. Our ferry to Crete was postponed two days due to windy weather, and we were afraid that we would have to forfeit our prepaid booking. But George graciously rescheduled us for another day at our convenience. Also, I am in my 60's and go slow, while my young sons hike fast. George tailor made the trip for us, guiding me slowly through an easy path, while directing my sons to a more challenging route. George also was very knowledgeable regarding local history and myths, geology, and fauna. The waterfall was stunning, and the trip down the river breathtaking, and unforgettable experience.

  George was a knowledgeable and super accommodating tour guide. He knows the area very well and works to adjust to the groups needs. I appreciated that he wasn’t in a rush and spent time sharing a piece of Greece with us. This was definitely my family’s favorite part of visiting Crete. The waterfall was a highlight to start the trek and the beach was an amazing end to the trek!

• Great experience, fantastic guide

  Our group of 4 spent a brilliant morning with George - he was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about giving us the best experience of the river. It's a beautiful place, with swimming spots, waterfalls and chances to plunge in to the fresh water. If George offers an early start, take it! You'll avoid some of the crowds and see the best stuff unspoilt. Be ready that the water is cold at first but it's a blessing or you'll be so hot!

• Amazing but do your research 1st.

  This was an amazing experience one that my family will remember forever. Our guide George was great, full of information and very helpful! There are things to know before to decide on this tour. 1. The waterfall is breathe taking. It's a lot of steps down the cliff side to reach it. When you get there you have to swim in very cold water against the current where you can't touch for a good distance. If your not a good swimmer this will be difficult. But the experience is absolutely worth it! 2. The hike river is not as easy as it looks in the photo. If you have bad knees or balance this could be dangerous for you. And absolutely have good water shoes as they state. Lots of navigating over rocks and strong currents. 3. The tour states it's about 4 hours and you reach the beach. Although this can be done it's not all the info. The tour is in 2 stages, step A: waterfall and river hike back to the traverna about 3 hours. Break with snacks and water. Step B: Hike to the beach about another 1.3 hours. I personally did not do the 2nd step because of we ran short on time. Our transfer was waiting for us based on the tour estimate of 4 hrs so we would be done in time. I our guide told us the path was pretty simple like a gravel road and not as great of views as we already saw. We arranged for our transfer to bring to the beach after the step A. It worked perfectly. Again this tour was an amazing experience and you will see all the true beauty of crete. Just be prepared and I would suggest visiting the beach 1st and then doing the River hike in the afternoon.
