5.00The journey through the mountains was a fantastic experience from the start. The information provided to us was very detailed. Our dear guide Thomas is simply wonderful. Anyone who books it will not be disappointed; ask for Thomas. The food in a tavern was also excellent and typically Greek.
A real taste of Crete

5.00Booked this via Jet2. An excellent day out and well worth the money. Our driver, Geoff, was extremely knowledgeable as well as professional and personable. The tour included a trip around an olive oil factory and an excellent Cretan lunch. The goats en route were stars, as was “Samson” our Landrover Defender. Geoff picked local wild herbs for us to smell and sample. A great way to learn about the history, culture and cuisine of Crete and explore Crete beyond the northern tourist strip. The trip inspired us to hire a car and explore the south of the island. Thank you!
Off the beaten path

5.00Loved our Land Rover tour through the Crete countryside and highlands. The tour picked us up where our cruise ship docked. Our driver, Chris, was excellent. Knew a lot about the island including flora and fauna. We had a nice lunch at a taverna and made stops in picturesque villages and scenic spots. We sampled olive oil and the local "moonshine". Crete is really lovely-a great way to get out of the touristy areas to see the countryside.
Fantastic day out!

4.00We had a great time w/Geoff. The olive oil factory and tasting was nice. There were 7 on the tour, which was about the capacity of the Land Rover. We drove through and stopped at some nice villages in the mountains and then spent about 2 hours off paved roads. The scenery was great and the ride was nice, especially in the front and middle seats. In the back, there were 2 benches facing each other. These were less comfortable, especially for the 4 of us who recently turned 70. Overall, it was a very nice experience.

5.00We had an all-day tour starting with an 8:30 pick-up at the cruise ship. Land rovers were right on time and well organized. Our driver Mike was great. Very knowledgeable and lots of fun. Lunch and snacks were all included and good quality. No pressure to buy anything along the way but lots of local food, drinks and pottery if you wanted.

5.00A wonderful and absolutely recommendable day trip into the nature of Crete, you are taken to places you do not get to see as a "normal" tourist, enjoy local products, see how they are created and experience the ubiquitous hospitality of the Cretan people, thank you to our driver Thomas for the unforgettable day in an almost family atmosphere.

5.00We had a great, fun and very informative day with our "driver" Thomas. He also had suitable music in the car for each topic. We sang a full pot. At the end we had another quiz, but we mastered it easily. Efcharisto Thomas. Always happy to.
