Great day out in nature
Picked up from Rethymno on time, clear directions as to where to go. Bus stopped for breakfast before going to the gorge. Guide gave info on the bus. Able to do the gorge at own pace and it was amazing - one of the best natural wonders we have seen. Plenty of time to swim at the beach after. Definitely the gorge requires you to be fit and active - lots of areas with no paths where you end up clambeong over boulders.

We had such an amazing time! Nicholas was so lovely and made our experience worthwhile. The horses are well kept and he made sure that beginners new had to control the horses before getting on. The views were fantastic I really recommend going for the 6pm horse ride as the sunset was so beautiful when riding back up the mountain. Would definitely return if we ever came back to Crete!

Wonderful Experience!
This experience was excellent. We were able to customise our experience to our needs and wants. Thannasi (Saki), the driver, was courteous, friendly and very competent in navigating the roads of Chania, Crete. We ended up going to a different tavern (in Balos) than the one noted in the experience, at Saki’s suggestion, and it didn’t disappoint. Ellafonisi beach itself was beautiful and we stayed as long as we wanted. The honey & olive oil tasting, although quick, was great. We went to a church (Agios Ioannis) which was situated within a cave which was beautiful. The views there were amazing from that location high up on mountain! This is definitely an experience worth considering. Being able to customise was the perfect combination. Thank you Saki :)

Gentle Ride
Very chill and friendly guide! Very easy and simple communication in English language.
Route was lovely, not fast paste, not extreme.
There was some dust. I would recommend bringing a scarf, sun glasses and extra pair of clothes. After the ride jump in the sea and change. I would do this again!

Spinalonga withHeorge
Our guide George was fabulous, talked about the history of the island, turned us into olive experts, we couldn't have asked for more from him. The island itself was very interesting you do really need to go round with others you are on trip with this is self guided. Lunch was ok found it a bit salty though, would have been nice to have options to what to eat. Visit to i e factory was good George explained everything wonderfully. The cave in all honesty has a sad story but felt you didn't need to see it. George had mixed group english and french he was very professional as the French couple did not speak English so he explained everything in English and French. Maybe not having mixed language group would be better so that no one feels time is being spent more wirh one group.

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.

20/10 stars, if you miss this you will be thinking about it the rest of your life!!
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!!

Fabulous Trip!
From the moment we boarded to boat to the second we disembarked, Captain Lukas and Fitri were the perfect hosts. We were made to feel welcome with coffee, juice, pastries and cake. At our first stop we had the opportunity to snorkel in clear blue waters. We then headed around Spinalonga, then onwards to our lunch stop. Lunch was fresh, plentiful and delicious. We also had the opportunity to paddle board, snorkel and swim here too. Thank you Lukas and Fitri for giving us our best trip ever in Crete.

Zeus Cave
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.

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.

My husband and I had an amazing experience. Our tour guides were George and Christopher. Both of them were great. It felt well organized and we had enough time at each location to not feel rushed. There was just one other couple on the tour who happened to be fantastic company. We found the smaller group setting made the tour feel more special/private. We saw a few big ferries docking people and it just did not look appealing. Imagine being cramped up against so many other people at the end of the day on one of those. We arrived to Gramvousa just a little bit prior to the big ferry arriving there. For a short period of time we felt as though we had that entire area to ourselves. We were able to go 3/4 of the way uphill to the fort to see the beautiful view of waters below. By the time we made our way down and got into the water, a big ferry was unloading people and all you see is loads of people making a dash for the hike up the fort. Spend the extra money if you can and enjoy it this way. That was a worthwhile memory created and I highly recommend this tour company.
