Hike
The hike was amazing swimming in the ocean after a lung hot hike was spectacular. Yes the long day is really, really worth it. However, make sure that you get the full package somehow on Viator. I was steered long for the first time and then had to purchase my park pass and my ferry pass separately, which which is rather frustrating. You have to get the park pass and you have to get the ferry pass so I have no idea why Viator did not just include that. Our guide was great very organized.

The best way to experience the Cretan landsacape
Me and my wife had always wanted to try canyoning, however we had zero experience before this activity so we were quite nervous and skeptical if this would right for us. In the end, we both left with a huge smile on our faces and an unforgettable experience that now acts as a perfect intro into the canyoning world.
Barbara and her dad were simply amazing, they made sure to explain all the safety procedures up-front and they were very engaging and fun to be with during the whole experience. Overall, we did 2 rope descents, 2 jumps into the water (both were optional, and there was no pressure to complete them) and about 20 minutes of river trekking in Kourtaliotis.
The canyon is an amazing place, national park with a lot of beautiful rock formation and a river that flows from the top of the Cretan mountains all the way to the sea. And in our opinion, jumping and climbing through it was the best way to be in contact and feel the landscape.
As a first time experience, it left me and my wife in awe and definitely with a lot of excitement and curiosity to repeat this in the future. If you are completely new to this (like we were), don't wait and book it! The organizers will make you feel right at home.

We had a great day at the beach. George was a great guide. He was very responsive. We knew when we booked the tour that we would prefer to shorten our time at the beach to leave some time to stop at a local restaurant for some authentic Greek cuisine.
He accommodated our request and made a great recommendation. I would recommend this tour without hesitation.
The car was clean and air conditioning worked well. I would recommend this tour without hesitation.

We had a great experience! Mike was our tour guide. He was excellent! He provided so much information. He was very personable. We really enjoyed him. The stops we made were so unique from the goat farm to the small villages to our food demonstration and deli our lunch. I would highly recommend this tour

Full day adventure off the grid in southern Crete
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.

Lovely Experience!!!
Adrian was an absolute pleasure. Great knowledge of the area, incredible vibes, and one of the best people to talk to. The man understands world culture more than anyone I've met with great perspectives on many different topics. Super laid back and knows how to make sure everyone is having a good time! The ATV/Buggys were fun going faster in open areas and slower in the mountains to allow you to take in this once in a lifetime atmosphere. Would highly recommend this tour and to do it with Adrian!!

So glad we did this! What a great experience!
We went and did the tour today and had an excellent time! We learned a lot and it was so nice to see how passionate Alex is about the farm. Afterwards we enjoyed samples of everything and the entire experience was beyond our expectations. We highly recommend!

Perfect way to spend a day in Crete!
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!

It was nice to be picked up by a guide and a small tour bus. We didn’t have to worry about driving the narrow windy roads through the mountains.. The stop was perfect for a bathroom and refreshment break on the way to the beach and the lunch break after the beach was perfect. The beach was so beautiful with soft sand and nice warm and shallow water. Too bad we didn’t see much pink sand. We arrived about 10 min before crowds of people came so we were able to rent two sun beds and umbrella. It would’ve been too hot if they weren’t available.
Really enjoyed the beach. Thought it was much nicer than Balos beach

A Crete Sampler!
I was skeptical that this tour could live up to the rave reviews it has been given, but I can report back that it most certainly does! What was great about this tour is that in the course of a day you get a good overview of Crete, not only the terrain and the sites, but the tastes and the flavors. We saw a lake, waterfall, sea (and swam in it!), mountains, orchards, and rugged terrain. We sampled wine, raki, tea, olive oil, honey, and local herbs. Our driver and guide Kostas did a fantastic job of pointing out the sites and giving us information about the area. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking to get out and see a nice variety of Cretan sites.
The only caution I would give is that is that part of the tour goes off road and can be pretty bumpy and in some places you are on dirt roads that are next to steep drops. The path is plenty wide for the Jeeps and I felt completely safe, though. Even my wife, who can be a nervous passenger, was able to handle it and she, too, loved the tour.
Booking and changing our tour date was super easy via the Viator app and communication with the tour company was also excellent. Go do it!

Amazing experience
Nicolas was friendly and funny and gave lots of information about his horses and the areas we rode through. It was clear he was passionate about his horses and their welfare.
My daughter and I had a great time and saw some beautiful scenery from horseback.

The guide and driver were super. The guide made sure we were well informed about the events of the trip, the area and history of the area during our ride to the beach. The ride through the gorge was an experience we won’t soon forget and on the return trip they even stopped so we could buy some of the local honey.
The beach was a little crowded but beautiful nonetheless.
Would definitely recommend this trip. We had a great time.
