Very Worthwhile Excursion.

Robert_W, Jul 2024

It was amazing to be able to see the 'middle' of Crete........amazing mountains which are hidden just touring the highways surrounding this beautiful island. Fun to see the goats so accustomed to people. Christian was an excellent guide and really had to work explaining the sites to our group, both in French & English. Lunch was an amazing treat.... thoroughly enjoyed all of the local food!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Misselling. .....

Anthony_E, Oct 2023

I was lied to by the viator seller even after making it explicitly clear that this was a family experience for my 60th birthday and that it was imperative that we were in the same vehicle i was totally misold and assured this would be the case.... lied to and this totally totally ruined my once in a lifetime 60th birthday.... DEVASTATED I WILL BE GETTING LEGAL ADICE

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Emmanuel, We are sincerely sorry to learn that your 60th birthday celebration did not meet your expectations, and we understand that you felt misinformed. Firstly, we'd like to clarify that we were unaware that this was your birthday celebration, which regrettably led to us missing the chance to make it extra special for you. Additionally, it's important to note that each vehicle has a maximum capacity of 6-8 persons, making it physically impossible for 12 individuals to fit in the same vehicle. However, we are pleased to note that you and your entire family were together at all stops and during the lunch break. Once more, we extend our heartfelt apologies for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

Amazing experience

découverte de la Créte sauvage

Ludovic_B, May 2023

les guides étaient vraiment trés bien, ça nous a permis de voir une partie de la Crète plus sauvage et trés intéressante! le seul point faible, je pense que les guides devraient faire tourné les personnes dans l'emplacement du 4X4, car passer la journée à l'arrière sur une banquette rigide n'est pas du tout agréable, surtout quand on est grand.

Response from Host, May 2023

Dear Ludovic, Crete is a place that has not only beautiful beaches but also wild landscapes as you said and we are really happy that you discovered it and had such a good time. Thanks a lot for your excellent review and for your kind comments. It is very much appreciated by us and we hope to see you again very soon!
