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.

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

Jam packed experiences and knowledge

Jim_N, Jun 2024
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

Excellent day

Sharon_S, Jun 2024
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

Great overview of Crete's landscapes.

Karolina_G, Jun 2024
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

Spinalonga views

Ketu_S, May 2024
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.

Great tour

Thanks a lot for your fantastic feedback. Next time you can maybe rent the speedboat for half of full day :-)

Great and relaxing day on Crete

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.
