4.00We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The drive into the mountains was spectacular, with amazing scenery. It was great to see the small farms and villages, so different to the tourist areas. Our driver was excellent, very thoughtful of our comfort on the bendy roads and he was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the countryside. He was also friendly and answered lots of questions. We would definitely recommend this trip.
Feeding the goats!

5.00This was a wonderful trip to the authentic heart of Crete. The guide was incredible and extremely knowledgeable. Kritsa is a quaint little village full of cloth wear and beautiful dish wear. We loved feeding the goats, tasting the olives and olive oil and meeting the people along the way! Well worth the money to see the beautiful landscape of Crete!
Amazing

5.00Here I can only say that this is definitely recommended. Ask for Mikael this is a top guy who knew everything and who sends you straight to the Crete from 50 years ago. We had an unforgettable day and if we knew this before we booked earlier. And if I may be honest this has been the coolest day of our 8 days stay in Crete! Keep up the good work Mikael I really hope we will meet you again in the future and be able to listen to all your knowledge you have. From us you get a 10/10
Awful experience

5.00An excellent day out. The scenery was magnificent, the weather great and the lunch delicious. We had an hilarious experience when we tried our hands at pottery throwing. Our guide Panos was a mine of information. He was such a good guy that we went on 2 other tours with him. He is a remarkable guy. I recommend this tour company to you. Ask for Panos. Thanks.
You definitely have to take it with you!

5.00This tour is definitely worth it! You can see wonderful nature, taste olive oil, feed semi-wild goats, stroll through small mountain villages and lend a hand yourself in a ceramic factory. Another highlight was the fantastic lunch in an authentic Cretan tavern with very dear owners. Our guide George was super nice and also knew very well. He took a lot of time with us and was just totally likeable. Thank you George! Those who have this trip on budget do everything right here and get to see a beautiful, less touristy part of Crete.
