Worth every penny - Our tour was just fantastic! We discovered beautiful places that took our breath away – a real highlight for Nature Guides! Our guide was super nice and made us laugh again and again with his funny manner, which made the tour even more entertaining. In the end we were also spoiled with a really good meal that perfectly matched the conclusion. All in all it was worth every penny and we can only recommend it to anyone!

Discovering an authentic Crete - We spent a very rewarding day discovering an authentic and varied Crete, far from mass tourism. Our Guide, Nikos, allowed us to do it in a relaxed and good-natured atmosphere, thanks to his humor and his desire to share the unconditional love he devotes to his homeland.

Can I recommend to everyone - Was one of the best safaris I've ever done. The guide was great, the cars too. The views on the tour are fantastic and away from mass tourism. The tour is action-packed, fun and you still learn a lot about Greek culture.
