Excursion inoubliable à Rhodes ! - Wow what a day in Rhodes with our guide Gaetan ! I won’t explain what was included or not as the description of the tour is clear but I can tell you we had an incredible day touring parts of Rhodes that you won’t do by yourself for sure. Gaetan was fun, smart and very knowledgeable ! We had the chance to be in area where the views where breathtaking and had enough free time to tour small villages by our own ! We would really have missed the best of Rhodes without this tour ! Superbe tour guidé avec Gaetan qui a été un guide vraiment intéressant et une personne qui mérite d’être connue ! Toute une journée qui nous aura généré des souvenirs inoubliables pour les années à venir 😀. Petit groupe de 6 personnes et en plus les gens avec nous étaient super sympa ! Impossible de battre ce tour qualité prix !!

Fantastic experience ! - This was our best excursion of our trip. The views were fantastic! The climbing in the Gorge was so much fun and the guides did a fantastic job watching out and helping our group! Loved our food at the restaurant they took us to! Michael had lots of knowledge about Crete. I would definitely recommend this tour!

An all around great day 👍 - Had a very enjoyable day. Learnt about various olives used in making olive oil & the tasting with pomegranate or blueberry balsamic vinegar was a treat. Visiting the small community of Krista as we started our wild ride through the mountains was a great spot for some shopping & learning a little bit about Krista - the jeep ride through the mountains was a great experience to see the landscape & variety of trees - lunch was a treat - the location chosen was a true village experience in the mountains. The hike & climbing through the Sarakina gorge required some upper body exercise to pull yourself up the ropes over the huge boulders. Geatan our guide was great driver, story teller & made sure we didn’t have a mishap in our climbing through the gorge - would definitely recommend :)

We have to leave soon but if we had to do other tours it would be with him - Our driver's name was Gaetan. He is a very patient and explanatory person. We have no complaints about this person

Highly recommended, very good value for money - Competent, friendly guide, very flexible, responds to personal wishes. Beautiful tour through the wild, beautiful nature of Crete. We enjoyed the view from high mountains and the delicacies of local cuisine in a dreamy tavern in the shade of an ancient plane tree. We can recommend this tour at any time.

Ignite your Adventurous Hat - Embark on an exploration journey to the South Coast of Crete via a picturesque route from the North while absorb the best of Cretan culture from visiting one of the best olive oil factories, villages, forests and experience a genuine Cretan active lifestyle mini-hike in a beautiful gorge. Panos our dedicated tour guide was outstanding in terms of safety and knowledge of every detail that we saw. Our journey began with great view points nearby Eludna into the Marbella bay followed by authentic village experience in Kristi and another town covered in lovely colored doors and mulberry trees. We learned alot about the fauna that grows on Crete. We also visited great villages and I shopped handmade tablecloths while met senior Cretan villagers who were kind and always bid you adieu with a smile. We continued our journey to the forest followed by lunch in one of the best mountain village restaurants in Crete. We then did a wuick hike followed by ending the trip in a strikingly blue beach! Panos is definately one of the most experienced and pleasurable guides that I have seen in my decades of travelling. This os well worth every minute and highly recommended for those that want a real exciting Cretan one day excursion.

A must whilst in Crete. - Super trip. Michael and his French co-pilot made the day great. The wealth of knowledge Michael has about Greek history and mythology was amazing. Pick up and drop off outside our hotel door in Elounda. We visited an Olive co-operative, walked the Sarakina Gorge for 1 hour. All inclusive lunch in a local Taverna with grilled meats.. Time to spend in the Libyan sea for a swim at the end of the day. 100% recommended bravo Michael. Thank you.
