Best day out - Absolutely the best day. Includes pick up from your hotel and lunch. Vasilis our driver was fun and shared his knowledge and stories of life on Crete. 8 people per car which is comfortable. Lunch was fantastic, mixed starters followed by chicken, pork and potatoes with lots of water and wine. You are taken off road to areas you wouldn't normally be able to access. Plenty of stops for photos or at villages.

Safari Club Crete is recommended - Guide Thomas led us safely to the Lasithi plateau with stopover for shopping and photo top with goat feeding. Lunch in a small tavern followed by tasting of Cretan products. Thomas gave us a lot of information about Crete, Lasithi and the residents.

Journey Around Crete - Geoff was a delightful driver and kept us entertained from the moment our party of four met him at the port. This was a fun way to see Crete, and I highly recommend it. We took lots of photos and ate tasty Greek food. Really enjoyed seeing the different towns.
When scheduling our tour, Anna helped by answering all of my questions. This is a great tour company.
