Great change from a beach holiday - We were looking for a change from the excursions to the beach holiday, which is also exciting for the children. The LandRover Safari was just right for us. On this trip we were able to explore the mountains and interior of the island and learn about the culture and way of life of the locals. Our German-speaking guide was able to tell us a lot about the sights at the stops and also answer almost all our questions. For the children, the off-road section up to the shepherd's hut was especially exciting. At the end, there was a plentiful lunch with delicious local dishes in a quaint taverna. Overall, the trip is highly recommended, provided you have no problem with the altitude.

Great trip! - Beautiful impressions of the landscape. Visit the Honey Museum and an old monastery. Super insights into flour and goat cheese production on a farm. Finally, good food in a small tavern.

A great trip, off the beaten track - It was a great and eventful trip, away from the tourist routes. Our driver Niko entertained us fantastically, gave us lots of information about Crete and made the trip a very entertaining experience. We were picked up directly from the hotel in a Land Rover. From there we went to a honey museum with a very interesting tour, then we drove along an adventurous gravel road to a small farm. There we were allowed to milk goats and the milk was made into cream cheese on site. Very interesting and above all tasty. From there we drove to a tavern for lunch. On the way we were lucky enough to see the bearded vultures that live there in the wild. An impressive experience to see the magnificent birds with a 2.50 m wingspan circling above you.

Land Rover ride you absolutely must do - We had a fantastic tour guide, his name was Thomas, and he was able to give us a great insight into the country and its conditions. We saw a lot that we wouldn't have seen on our own. We saw so much, from olive production to cheese production. A highlight was the cave in which Zeus was supposedly born and the museum that is also located there. Highly recommended, you just have to do this tour.
