Incredible tour, Thanks Lefty!! - Soo pleased we did this one, Safari Club Crete were amazing and a very special shout out to Lefty!! For his amazing knowledge and kindness for the whole trip. Sunset was fantastic, the Taverna was amazing, somewhere we could have only dreamed of finding on our own! The team are hugely (and rightly) proud of their country and it’s soo clear when they show you. They were clear on what’s included and what’s not, my only advise is to take some cash for the Olive Oil, such a beautiful village it was great to buy a momento.

Unforgettable experience - There were 12 of us; our composite family. Unfortunately, something had gone wrong with the booking so that only 1x6 passenger car was reserved. Our hero Tomas Verstappen (who even saved our lives along the way with a very good maneuver to avoid a ghost driving car) came on his night off to take the remaining 6 family members in the safari car. It was a top tour; with many opportunities to taste Greek cuisine, take beautiful pictures at the sunset and especially to be together. Tomas saved our day; thanks again!!!!

Great experience of Mountain climbs in a 4x4 and beautiful sunset 🌅 with amazing scenery. - My wife and I went on the sunset route with a very experienced nomad/ tour guide. I’m gutted that I lost his card so I hope people recognise him from my pictures. We was picked up from our hotel in a Land Rover and there was 7 of us in it. Our driver was very knowledgeable and very friendly telling us about where we was going and history of Crete itself. We was taken approximately 1200 meters up the mountains and the views were spectacular. We were able to see the new airport that’s replacing Heraklion airport and wild goats 🐐 who we stopped and fed them. At the peak we stopped and was able to see the the beautiful sunset whilst being fed with fresh fruit and an alcoholic beverage. The trip ended up with us driving to a traditional Greek 🇬🇷 restaurant and was served up a three course meal with both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and a few shots of Raki. I would recommend this to anyone as it was one of the best experiences I’ve had for a long while.

Drive through the mountains with personal accompaniment, sunset and Sirtaki dance - We were picked up with our guide Thomas in the air-conditioned Vito around 5 pm at the hotel and were back there at 11 pm. Our group consisted of 8 participants plus guide - so very personal and always likeable. Thomas is German and has lived in Crete as a Greek for many years. He is a storyteller, herbalist, singer and good driver and knows a lot about Crete. Our tour (mountain village with small tasting, mountain tour in the car, sunset at 1,000 meters altitude, food in a quaint local tavern with dancing :-) ) was very entertaining and always amusingly entertaining. We can only recommend this tour and Thomas if you want to get out of the hotel and experience a touch of local culture.

Great sunset tour in the mountains - Fortunately, we had the Land Rover as a vehicle. It was really fun to drive up the mountains. Adventure feeling guaranteed. Our tour guide SniperMike was really great! The tavern as a conclusion was very sweet and the food there was the best we ate during our whole holiday.

Thank you for this wonderful evening! - At first I was a little skeptical, but if you're up for something like that, then definitely DO it. It was so much fun. Thomas is a very personable, funny and humorous safari guide! The next time I'm in Crete, I know what kind of tour I'll do next.

A great sunset on Crete with Mike Sniper (Guide) - We were picked up from the hotel in Analipsi at around 4:15 p.m. In a large and clean Land Rover, our guide "Mike Sniper" (Best Driver) drove us safely past a few mountain goats to the Lasithi Plateau where we watched the sunset. The guide also took some great photos there. Then we went back and had something to eat. The food was OK. Afterwards we were taken back to the hotel. We were back at 11 p.m. It was a great evening. We would do it again anytime.
