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

Mike was great company and so full of knowledge. The private tour is the way to go and worth every penny. He timed things perfect to avoid crowds and the heat. We learned so much about the area and history of Crete. We got to see and do so much in 1 day.

We had an absolutely amazing day on the Elafonisi & Milia Mountain Jeep Tour. From start to finish, the experience exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Nickolas, was outstanding, friendly, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and a very safe driver. He really thought of everything, from cooling the vehicle down before we got back in to providing plenty of cold water throughout the day, as well as delicious local snacks. We learned so much about the history, culture, and landscape of Crete, which made the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. The stop at Elafonisi Beach was stunning, and having reserved sun loungers waiting for us made the experience even more relaxing and enjoyable. The visit to Milia Mountain Retreat was truly special. The setting was beautiful and authentic, and the meal was without a doubt the best food we have had during our trip to Greece. It was a real highlight of our holiday. This tour perfectly combined adventure, relaxation, local culture, and incredible food. We cannot recommend it highly enough. If you’re visiting Crete and looking for a memorable day out, this is the tour to book. A fantastic company, an exceptional guide, and an unforgettable experience from beginning to end!

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.

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.

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 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 was an amazing experience that we (myself and my partner) would recommended to anyone who is travelling through Crete 👍🏼 Our guide - George - was the best guide we possibly could have asked for. The experience was extremely high-quality and personalised. The treck itself was exhilarating and challenging at times - but, the perfect amount of both. As people who are relatively active, but had never done anything like this before - George made the experience feel like a breeze - he made us feel super comfortable and confident the entire way along. The whole way along the walk it just felt like talking to an old friend, cracking jokes, having fun, learning about everything Crete. This was a once in a lifetime experience and a must-do … Highly recommended!! 🙂
