10 out of 10 trip, highly recommend especially with Kids - This was a fantastic trip, great with kids, lots of regular stops to see something interesting, milking goats, making flour, make your own pottery, cookery lesson and the list goes on! The land rovers were fun , with a mix of other travellers was perfect. Lunch was great, our guide VaGelis and his team mate George were really great and well informed. 10/10 from us!

Great experience in Crete - This tour was great!! We got a rich, local perspective of Crete, its traditions, and its culture and history. Vagelis was an amazing driver and guide - very personable, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We also had a great cooking demonstration and lunch at a local restaurant. Highly recommend this tour! Ask for Vagelis!

A fun introduction to the real Crete with a cheerful driver and a compatriot guide - We really appreciate the trip. We even got a guide who spoke our native language - a fellow countryman, although it was not officially announced, which surprised us and made us very happy. The driver/guide must have a very good sense of humor, so we really had fun traveling through the villages of Crete. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know the real Crete 👌👍

Is it worth this safari tour - It was a beautiful entertaining safari tour . Even though the cave of Zeus was closed, the day had many Cretan highlights . These were given by our driver with the nickname “Jesus” excellently funny and in three languages at the same time. One can only recommend the tour.

Immersive, fun, informative and unforgettable. - Amazing experience, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the ‘real’ side of Crete and learn more about its deep rooted culture. Beautiful panoramic views and lots of activities to do whilst on your journey. We also met some wonderful people whilst on our trip, shout out to our guide Mikel! Such a friendly and charismatic person who made the experience all the more immersive and fun. Would 100% do the whole thing again.

Our guide Niko was so much fun and able to show you the genuine Crete culture since he grew up in the village. He was knowledgable and took great care of all our needs. The views were stunning and lunch was very good! Highly, highly recommend.

No dull moments - We are very happy that we booked this tour. It is nice to see the villages, know how people live and learn the culture. Our guide named Vagelis made it so fun that there is no dull moments during the entire trip. We've got a photographer as well. This is highly recommended though cave of Zeus is closed during our tour because it is too late for us to come to Crete. A lot of businesses started to close for the winter season. According to the locals the best time to come is from May to september. But we will definitley go back and book other trips with safari experts of course.
