“A beautiful & challenging experience of a lifetime” - My husband and I enjoyed this challenging 16km hike down a mountain goat path through the beautiful Samaria Gorge. “Stunning pictures.”The map indicating distances and the time you should be there was very helpful and it was nice that you could set your own pace. The only negative was that it is so far away (3.5 hour bus ride there and back plus almost an hour ferry on the way home) making for a very long day. I would definitely recommend having a really good sleep the night before and to wear good supportive shoes with treads.

Great experience - The tour was great overall, the only downside is the time. We are mountain people and 6 hours were insufficient for us because we wanted to enjoy the scenery more.

Never again - The trip took waaaaaaay too long, about 7 hours more than it stated in the website (!!!) They say there is a guide, the truth is, i NEVER saw the guide throughtäout the whole samaria trekking, for all i know, i could have died in a ditch somewhere along the way and be founds months after. The whole thing is super badly organized, i would choose another company!
