5.00Absolutely and happily recommend George and his company to anyone looking for a guide who truly goes above and beyond to craft an unforgettable experience. I spent 7 hours climbing and chatting with him one-on-one, and out of the dozen or so guides I’ve climbed with over the years, George is at the top of that list. 1. Tailored experience – He took the time to ask what I wanted from the day and designed the entire session around that, offering thoughtful suggestions and options that matched my goals. I came away feeling accomplished. 2. Incredible energy - George was just a joy to spend the day with, genuinely encouraging, positive and fun, both on and off the wall. 3. Passion and care – He clearly loves what he does and it shows in all the little extras , grabbing snacks, taking a detour for a traditional Greek coffee in a mountain village, picking me up at my hotel, making sure I got back on time, and even helping another couple finish their climb nearby. A truly stand-up guy and a standout guide. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks, George!
Amazing experience with a very friendly and experienced climbing instructor.

5.00Our instructor was called George. He spoke perfect English and was kind enough to collect us from our hotel and drop us off when we had finished. His experience of climbing was clear to see, the previous reviews on here are totally justified. The entire experience was fantastic, equipment supplied, views of the gorge while climbing were amazing. It was myself (39yr male) and my 11yr old daughter who climbed. We both have some experience but George started us on a fairly simple climb to see how we got on and we progressed to harder climbs throughout the afternoon/evening. In total I climbed 7 routes and my daughter climbed 8. The experience was 100% worth the cost, if we ever go back to Crete I will definitely contact George to book either another climbing session or one of his river treks which also look and sound fantastic.
Can't ask for a better guide!

5.00George was a great guide. Easy to talk to and very friendly. We had great day climbing. He made sure we had a great experience by making sure we had enough climbs, not rushing us to finish. Definitely recommend him.
Excellent Off Season Climbing

5.00Our guide, Manos, was excellent! He provided all the equipment and was very knowledgeable of climbing. He tailored our day based on our experience and was very patient while my daughter and I were climbing. We were offered both hard and easier climbing. This was a great activity to see nature on a cool winter day. We were helped by having them arrange a taxi to pick us up at our hotel in old town Chania and bring us back after climbing. Well done!
Terrific climbing day

5.00George in a gorge!! George was very friendly and attentive. Even though we have very different levels of experience George ensured that we were both challenged. We would definitely recommend a morning or afternoon with George in a gorge!!!

5.00The views from this climbing experience were amazing and the experience was as-described. George struck the perfect balance of making the experience light and fun while also ensuring safety at every step of the process. He quickly adapted to my level as someone who has limited outdoor experience.
