Jeep safari in Crete - Nicely picked up on time at the hotel. Very experienced and knowledgeable German speaking Greek living on the island. Very nice stops in beautiful places to take beautiful pictures of the view. Been to villages where you as a tourist with your own transport do not come quickly. The explanation about the lives of the people on Crete well told and we have learned a lot: very interesting! All in all a beautiful day, with a fine and knowledgeable and experienced driver/Guide. Definitely worth it and also with teenagers. Ours really liked it. The off road route by jeep were also doable. Kids loved it

Super nice, interesting and entertaining excursion. - Thomas, a very nice guide, goes about his job with great enthusiasm. We learned a lot about the island in a very entertaining way and got to know Crete away from the tourist centers. There was delicious food typical of the island. Highly recommended and worth his money.

Unforgettable Safari - Great experience! - We joined the Trypiti Tour and had an absolutely amazing experience! Our driver Thomas was not only super friendly and fun, but also very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting facts about Crete – always with a smile and great energy. The drive through the mountains and the Trypiti Gorge was breathtaking – adventurous, off-road fun, yet we felt safe and well taken care of at all times. One of the true highlights was the remote beach on the Libyan Sea – crystal-clear water and total peace. The traditional lunch at a small taverna was delicious and gave the whole day a perfect, local touch. All in all, it was a fantastic day full of nature, culture, and unforgettable impressions. Huge thanks to Thomas and the entire team – we highly recommend this tour guide to anyone visiting Crete! Sincerely Lena & Alex

Nice tour with very nice driver - Very nice touer across the island and to remote beach at the end of a slope over stick and stone. Thomas our driver shared with us his extensive knowledge of the island and the culture associated with it in a very nice way. The food was also excellent on this tour. A great thing to explore the island away from the crowded tourist strongholds and to be able to share in the knowledge of a local.

safari reviews - I had the chance to have an unforgettable safari and I especially wanted to thank our guide Gregory. It was simply exceptional! Very kind, always listening, he did everything to have a magical time. He really took the time to explain with a lot of passion and detail. He also wanted us to leave with the best possible photos, and you can see that: he did his utmost to position us in the right place at the right time. A true pro, passionate and human. Thank you Gregory for this amazing experience!

A must - with fun, great experiences - Thank you for this very interesting, exciting tour to Tripitis. We had a lot of fun listening to the stories of Thomas. With a small troop we went to the "mountain of Zeus". We visited a small church at the top. We continued with a coffee stop after tripitis. There we had time to swim in the crystal clear sea, absolutely take snorkeling gear. After a lunch, which the grandmother prepared, there were various mezedes, we went back again. The return journey was by no means boring. There was music to sing along to and a quiz to the stories of the journey. Many thanks to Thomas and companions 😃
