Fantastic day trip - Amazing Tour with Andreas. Great guide. Sampled local honey, olive oil, and bread. Great viewing of lots of local spots. Photos stops were great as was the photographer Andreas! Lots of information we learned a lot about Crete and its history. Amazing walk 10 mins up and down (take sensible shoes trainers!) To a wonderful beach swam in the sea snorkeling to see some fish and clear water. (Not provided) lovely experience. Then lovely lunch wine and raki. A little off roading experience. You all change seats so not always in same position in the land rover. Food was great. Stop off in Spili sample the water from the fountains and walked up to the folk museum small and free 5 mins lovely man inside explaining more around history of artifacts and house. Really enjoyed it x

Amazing time had! - If you only do one trip while in Crete then do this, you will not regret it. Andreas our driver was amazing with his knowledge and wit. Food was excellent and I honestly cannot fault any part of the experience.

BOOK IT!!! - Everything about this experience was truly incredible - the scenery, food, culture and history but above all our guide (Andreas) went above and beyond to make the experience exceptional. From pick up to drop off we had so much fun. We would genuinely love to do it all over again and cannot recommend this enough! An absolutely must. THANK YOU ANDREAS!!! (Definitely worth bringing your swimming stuff and walking the 10 minutes to the beach with the palm trees and river)

A day's exploring in Crete - An excellent way to explore Crete. The host was perfect - providing great narrative throughout the day of local matters of interest together with a healthy dose of humour. Truly wonderful day!

4X4 safari. - Wow, what a great day and Andreas (our guide and driver) was a fantastic host for the trip, during lunch he even provided a 50th wedding anniversary cake for another couple in our group!! Would definitely rate this excursion and Andreas, for anyone wondering what to do with their time in Crete.

Fantastic and we love George! - What a fantastic day my family will never forget. We were lucky enough to have George as our driver and guide. He’s a great guide and full of knowledge and a great person in himself. I believe he is also a famous pole dancer (joke 😉). We were joined by another couple from Poland that were also great company and have kept in touch. The trip was so much fun, my three sons all in their twenties loved every moment. It really was one of those holiday moments we will never forget. Lots of information about Crete and interesting places to see. Couldn’t have spent a day with a better group of people. Recommended.

The 4x4 Trip to Preveli beach through the Cretan mountains was excellent. - Went on a safari club 4x4 trip with Andreas on Thursday 12th September 2024. From start to finish a fantastic time, we had a great group (which helps), highly recommended 👌. Andreas was friendly and very informative and took us to some brilliant locations, got some amazing pictures. We stopped off for lunch which again was excellent. Preveli beach you won't be disappointed, just bear in mind that to reach it you need to be reasonably fit, some of the steps are steep. There's a nearby beach from the parking, not quite the same, but easily reached. Thanks again to Andreas, brilliant experience 👏

Worthwhile - Thoroughly enjoyed our trip (4 adults, 1 child). Our lovely, friendly guide, Andreas, was fabulous - not only was he welcoming, friendly, and a good driver, but he also was a great photographer (knew how to use the cameras on our phones better than we do!), waiter and guide. This is a great way to see real Crete. The best part of the day was Privelli beach and my only negative comment would be that you don't get long enough at the beach. Could do with another hour for snorkeling. The lunch provided was amazing - we all said how yummy it was, well, everyone except my son who is a fussy eater (he didn't like the local food). All in all, it's a worthwhile trip but if you are travelling with children who are fussy eaters, make sure to take snacks and food with you.
