Wow! Amazing experience! - Had the best day out with Chris our tour guide/driver! He had loads of information and cool stories and facts to tell us on the way, as well as a great music playlist! We saw the giant vultures, goats and other cool animals. The Tripitis Gorge was especially incredible and Chris let us walk through the best part so we could get the perfect photos and videos, we also went for lunch and then an ice cream stop on the way home! Thankyou Chris it was really really special day!

Amazing 4x4 experience - What an amazing experience this was our tour guide/driver Yannis was such a knowledgeable funny guy and a great driver cos believe me them roads (if that’s what you can call them) around the Gorge are not for the faint hearted 😂🤦🏼‍♀️he made us felt at ease with his great driving! He took us to his grandmothers home of which she greeted us with raki and grapes which was so lovely! The beach we visited was such a beautiful little place although it was really windy the day we were there and the sand was blowing but still beautiful here’s where we had a lovely lunch which was included in the price!we had many a raki’s on our travels 😂and even an ice cream bought by Yannis himself! If this is your kinda thing don’t hesitate to book it 10/10

Great trip! - We booked this tour because our son wanted to see the mountains. We chose the Landrover for extra adventure. Keep an eye on! The Land Rover does not have air conditioning, but that did not spoil the fun for us, even though it was 37 degrees. Open the windows and go! Together with another Dutch family we sat in the Landrover with the American George (A Dutch tour is not available), what a fantastic guy! No standard tune that he finishes, but a very personal approach to those present in the car. He tells you something about himself, is interested in your story and while he skilfully drives over the adventurous mountain roads, he tells you about whatever you want to hear. The tour itself is breathtaking, especially with its beautiful stories! Along the way you will come to the most beautiful idyllic places. At 810 m altitude or through the gorge, it is all beautiful. There is also a tasting of local products. The beach on the other side of the island is beautiful and really untouched. And the authentic Cretan lunch there is included. We had a wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed this excursion! And George was the finishing touch with his beautiful stories and the ability to deliver them in a lively, personal way! Definitely do this!

Great, gladly again / Great, gladly again - We were guided through the day on 13.07.2024 with our guide Andreas and his colleague Nikos. It was madness, we heard a lot, we were explained a lot and it was great to get information that you don't get without more. The tour was conducted with wit and charm and it was simply said... That's amazing. Thanks to the two guides for the unforgettable day. We were guided through the day on 13.07.2024 by our guide Andreas and his colleague Nikos.
