A great way to see the beach and countryside away from the hustle bustle of Chania. Adrian our tour guide picked me up and returned me to cruise terminal on time and a great delight! Once we picked up everyone else, he gave us a safety briefing and off we went. Beautiful countryside up into the hills of the island close to Platonias (spelling?)....great fun and he was very safe! Diverse group - family with small children and adults! So much fun ! I highly recommend this tour!

Communication with service provider was excellent. Received pinpoint directions on where to meet the boat. Crew was absolutely wonderful! The small group size made the cruise comfortable and relaxing. The boat was comfortable and spacious enough that we never felt crowded. Views were amazing! Food and drink provided was ample and quite tasty. Recreational equipment provided was excellent and we had plenty of time to use it. At no point did we feel rushed. I would highly recommend this tour any small group.

Wow this was a fantastic night to end our hoilday on, the ride was extreme getting to the view point , but my goodness was it worth it ! The ride is bumpy if your sat in the back, but the guide changed seats atound during the trip so everyone got to seat in a different seat! Our guide forgive me if I spell his name wrong we allias he was fantastic so kind chatting sharing knowledge chatting to us all , we was English the others was German ! But we all had a blast and communication was achieved and it was nice being with other people who didn’t speak English we still shared the same experience and managed to chat around the barriers ! I milked a goat bought some honey from a Shepard met his herd , we had dinner in a raven in the mountains , and there was a great shop next door where a chap makes hand made wooden items bracelets all sorts of things. I give this trip ten ten ! Be brave the mountain is high and the roads are a tad scary , but it’s all part of the fun! Thank you so much am going to be telling everyone about this trip! Thank you to our guide who took fantastic photos gave us champagne fresh fruit at the top, shared his skills and was super caring and really took the time to chat to us all and get to know each of us! Thank you and book this trip it’s a trip of a lifetime love kelly and mark from the uk

That was nothing short of incredible. Most beautiful place I have ever seen, and experienced it the best way possible by dropping into the canyon via ropes all harnessed up. I didn’t know exactly what we were in for, but the guides were very thorough and helpful with teaching us how to canyon. Absolutely must do, highlight of our trip so far (we have been on vacation for 13 days). I plan on coming back and booking the same exact experience!! No joke, this is a no brainer, book this trip!!

The highlight for us was the Zeus cave. Be aware that it is close to a 20 minute hike, going up pretty much continually. While we did the hike in sandals with no problems, we would recommend running shoes for comfort. There is a little refreshment stand at the top for cold drinks, etc. The cave itself was the highlight for us!!! The rest of the tour was also very interesting and worthwhile as well. The lunch was very good but is a bit later in the day. We were fortunate enough to sit in the forward facing seats for much of the tour. When we switched off to the rear side facing seats, it was a bit awkward and cramped, but that was totally expected. The tour company, Safari Experts, and our guide were excellent as well! In short, yes, we would recommend this tour.

Definitely wear good shoes, a hat, lots of sunscreen, and a water bottle and snacks. Plenty of places to refill your water bottle along the way, but no food available. It’s a long but wonderful day hiking the gorge and the. 2-3 hours in Agia Romeli to eat and recharge your body before the ferry ride to head back.

We loved this entire excursion from the easy pickup at a nearby hotel to the entertaining and informative tour guide Nikos to the beautiful views of the Imbros Gorge and the lovely Sfakia beach excursion. We had planned on doing the Samaria Gorge hike however it was closed when we went to Crete but we’re glad we did this tour instead since the hike itself was two hours rather than five. While we hiked, we were able to leave our beach items on the bus. The beach in Sfakia was a lovely beach that blocked the wind, was refreshing after the hike, and had some rocks to climb around on. The driver did an excellent job navigating some winding roads. Overall, this entire experience from start to finish was well worth it!

This tour is absolutely amazing. We got picked up by Vicellis, I hope I spelled it right, and he was on time and a smile on his face. He was awesome. He immediately gave us waters and drove us into town to see some sites. Then we picked up another couple and went to the olive oil tree farm and had coffee. A beautiful cafe with a huge grape vine for shade like beer garden. Coffee was awesome. Then he took us to a winery and olive oil farm. The wine was awesome and the olive oil is out of this world. Now I know why Crete is one of the best olive oil producers. We tried many wines and with some snacks. Then we proceeded to a lunch spot that was one of the best views I have ever seen. You eat overlooking a gorge in the white mountains. The Greek food was amazing. Vicellis took very good care of us. He taught us some bee facts but every step of the way was first class. He got us back to the boat no issues and we had a blast. One of the best tours we have taken. Money well spent on this one. If your in Crete this is a must!!
