A Perfect Day!
What a great day! Yannis was such a wonderful guide and shared so much information about our destinations and Greece. He made it very interactive and fun.
The food was delicious at Milia Mountain Retreat and we completed the trip with a little honey sampling.

Beautiful day in Crete!
We had an amazing day hosted by Nicholas who shared a lot of local and historical context as we made our way through the day's itinerary. He was a pleasure to talk to and spend the day with. We truly loved the entire experience that was curated for us.

10/10 experience
Firstly I want to say that our guide Yiannis was an absolute gem and a professional. He was extremely knowledgeable in Crete history and Greek mythology. He made us feel safe during the drive and throughout these different areas. He made the excursion even more incredible.
For the excursion itself, I highly recommend bringing water shoes for the Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls. There are a lot of rocks leading up to the waterfall and if you’re bare foot like we was, you will lay the price lol. The scenery during the drive is breathtaking and the areas we went to didn’t disappoint at all

We had such an amazing...
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!

Safety at priority before...
Safety at priority before start, and a nice round trip through the nearby mountains. Small and fun roads to drive the quads, with a nice mix in of gravel roads.
Very nice view along the mountains. A little bit stop and go during the trip due to various skills on driving quads among the group. This was no problem for me as an adult, but my son got a little bit restless.
Your guide had good and clear instructions, showed patience and deserves an extra kudos for managing both the Norwegian, English and French language.

5 Stars
We had an amazing experience on this cruise! The entire staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment we arrived. They made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time throughout the day.
The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty of fresh, flavorful options that exceeded our expectations. The boat itself was beautiful, clean, and very well maintained.
One of the things we appreciated most was that it never felt overcrowded. There was plenty of space to relax, enjoy the views, and take in the experience without feeling packed in.
We would absolutely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Crete and would happily do it again!

The best nightmare scenario
Our tour had a couple of unfortunate moments, with the car breaking down on a mountain with little to no signal, and yet it was still my favourite tour over my holiday. The food exceeded expectations, the guide was friendly, and there were great sights to see. I would whole heartedly recommend and get stranded up a mountain again with this tour company.

Quick and Good for Kids
Quick farm tour and then a nice tasting of the olive oils, marmalades, olives, and tea. Alex was a very nice host and answered all of our questions about the olive oil process. Seeing the dragon fruit plants was fun, too. All items tasted are available for purchase and we bought some to take home with us. We booked this the day before and it was a fun, short excursion (we were done in an hour).

There were so many fun...
There were so many fun activities included for all ages, from stand-up paddleboards and snorkeling to the inflatable slide. The food was also absolutely delicious, and everything was very well organised.
A huge thank you to Daniel and Joanna, who went above and beyond with their communication, organisation, and genuine willingness to help. I was especially grateful after I dropped my phone into 12 metres of water. They immediately jumped into action, helped recover it, and somehow managed to get it back for me, something I’ll never forget!
The only thing to keep in mind is that if you’re prone to seasickness, the ride can get a little bumpy depending on the wind conditions.
Overall, an amazing experience with a fantastic crew. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fun and relaxing!
My husband and I had a great trip with our parents and siblings! Our age group was mixed from ages 21 to 73 and it was awesome! They had healthy lunch on board, delicious white wine, and a long time to swim on board. The crew was awesome and super friendly. They also offered pick-up which made it super easy for our group to get to the marina rather than coordinating our own transport.

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.

Highly recommended tour to Elafonisi Beach from Chania
I was picked up on time. Our driver and guide were great, I think their names were Marcos and Elena. We first stopped at a shop near Kissamos where they sell local products like honey and olive oil. In the morning and almost the entire bus ride it was raining but by the time we got to Elafonisi it was beautiful summer weather and I had a lot of fun swimming in the sea on October 21st. After that we went to a beautiful restaurant in Elos village, where they had reasonable prices and good food and then we were dropped off at our pickup location. I'd say the time we spent at each stop was just perfect. Highly recommended!
