We had a wonderful day and our guide Emanuel was fantastic. He explained to us the culture of Crete and was very knowledgeable. We wished the speed boat ride lasted a bit longer. Overall great experience.

We really enjoyed the day, our tour guide was very knowledgable, frequently stopping to show us local plants, animals, birds. We saw vultures and a farmer feeding his sheep and goats near a rural village. Great explanation of the Island.
The speedboat to Spinalonga was fabulous as it meant no queuing or waiting around in the heat amongst the crowds.
Lovely lunch in a local spot with sea views, plenty of cold water provided throughout the day and and a/c in the car.
A great day, thank you.
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.

Thanks for your feedback and the fantastic review.
A great day out. Enjoyed the whole trip including the drives between stop off points. Good chance to see a bit more of Crete. Lunch was good. Our guide, George was great and it was lovely to be in a small group, especially for the boat trip to Spinalonga.
Great experience! Lots of great history and information from our guide and easy boat ride to the island. Olive oil tasting was fun and enjoyable.
Very informative and friendly tour guide with knowledge throughout the tour and very accommodating as well as the tour its self was really well structured and entertaining
Such a great day! Got to see the countryside and the island with an experienced guide. Lunch was in a quaint setting and yummy. A lovely day!

Ierapetra
This was an excellent trip, we greatly enjoyed the olive oil tasting, trip to the cave and our speedboat experience. Enrico was a great guide and v knowledgeable. He was also excellent at sorting out our kids who had a major row on the trip!! The heat had got to them. Many thanks

Many thanks for your great review
This is a jam packed day out full of experiences, fun and learning. We sampled the local oil and olives, travelled to Spinalonga on a speed boat, walked the streets of those trapped on the island in the early 1900’s, climbed and explored Milatos cave and then finished with a local taverna meal of high quality. All of this was fantastic and our thanks goes out to Petra, not only did she guide us with expertise she also was happy to share with us her own Grecian knowledge and wisdom which was both interesting and insightful. Petra is very professional and a true star. Highly recommended.

Fantastic detailled review. thanks a lot
Having 2 autistic daughters, we were careful which trips we booked and even then, we were questioning how well they'd manage. We really shouldn't have worried because our driver, Michael, was absolutely amazing. He interacted just enough with the girls without them feeling uncomfortable and was so incredibly knowledgeable about pretty much anything and everything, as well as being so easy to get along with. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day and all really genuinely enjoyed spending the day with Michael. The trip was just perfect, with a perfect mix of driving and seeing and doing things. The speedboat to Spinalonga was good fun and nice to not have to wait to go by a big boat. The stop for lunch was at a lovely taverna and the food was amazing. The girls, who are very hard to feed and usually wont try anything new, both tried some new food and really enjoyed it too. We would absolutely recommend Adventure Crete, the trip and Michael. Thank you for making our first day in Crete amazing.

Exelllent detailed feedback. thanks a lot
You can see a lot of Crete's landscape: islands, hilly interior, caves and olive "forests". It's a great trip to get an overview what Crete is about.

thanks for booking with us and your fantastic feedback
We had Petra as our guide for the 2nd excursion in a row from Adventure Crete. It was a good day and the Spinalonga Island tour was quite interesting and beautiful views from the top. Milatos cave was ok and you won't be missing out on much if you didn't visit it, but the scenic drive was nice.
Such a great trip! Ralf was a great guide, lively and funny with lots of knowledge. The short speedboat ride was fun.

Thanks a lot for your fantastic feedback. Next time you can maybe rent the speedboat for half of full day :-)
Great tour guide and small group. The visit to Spinalonga was nive as we had speed boat and did not have to wait in the heat. Cretan lunch in the small local tavern was very tasty.
