Highly recommended. Chris was so funny and very knowledgeable on Crete and its history. The goats were adorable and the taverna lunch was delicious.

What a truly great day! - Absolutely excellent!!! We were with 3 other couples which was great because the group gelled well and we got to know each other a little. Our driver and guide was Jason - he knew his stuff, was full of historical anecdotes, information about the wildlife, geology and the farming practices and to top it all, he was such a gent. A most enjoyable day. And we certainly didn’t go hungry either. Thanks Jason, pleasure to have spent the day with you. Keith and Annabel

Fantastic jeep safari - Just returned from a fantastic safari with Jason. Jason is an encyclopedia of Crete, it's history, culture, and interesting facts. The Jeep was very comfortable over some off road driving. Enjoyed a nice meal in a typical creaton taverna, run by Yanni. Plenty of photo opportunities, and a chance to feed the goats.
Great day, highly recommended.

Unforgettable 4x4 Safari in Elounda with Superguide Ruud 2 – A Trip That May Go On For Hours! - What an amazing experience! The 4x4 safari trip in Elounda was perfectly organized. The timing, the route, and especially the way the participants were taken into account, were excellent. Our Guide, Ruud 2, was fantastic! He made everyone feel comfortable and managed to break the ice between the participants. Thanks to him, the trip became not only adventurous, but also incredibly educational and fascinating. When I came back I immediately felt like just doing the trip again! Kudos to the team, and I can recommend this trip to anyone who wants to discover Crete in a unique way!
