Quality Safari - The day of discovery with our Guide Greg went very well, he was very friendly, we discovered things thanks to him and we saw great panoramas. The meal was very good (congratulations to the restaurant staff for the quality of their cuisine).
I recommend this experience.

Dimitri was great! - Dimitri was fantastic! He loves his country and is proud to share so many facts and share the fruit of the land. It’s a long day but truly a great way to see parts of the country you wouldn’t probably see otherwise. Highly recommend!

Simply perfect - We had a great day with so many impressions. With the best guide of the island “Dimitri” who has incredible expertise about herbs and the island. The cars were awesome we had a lot of fun driving Mega over stick and stone. One of the absolute Unpacked were the vultures. Absolutely recommended

A proper off-road adventure! - Excellent day out exploring the island of Crete. Our guide Dimitris was very insightful and a great host. Our lunch spot was a lovely taverna with equally as good food. We thoroughly enjoyed the off roading aspect and would definitely take part again!

Super - Very cool, exciting self-driving offroad tour, with great views. Condition of the vehicles, however, somewhat questionable.

Have fun, it's worth it. - Overall a great tour with some offroad routes. A little more of that, that would be 5 points. The swimming bay at Ligres Beach was super nice and the food in the tavern also tasted very delicious and was included in the price. All in all a successful tour with a very friendly guide.

Rushed day trip with lack of promised stop-offs - not relaxing at all. - Super excited to go on this day trip to explore the hidden gems of Crete, but sadly didn't live up the expectations and description of itinery is not accurate.
We were picked up in our hotel by a shabby mini bus lacking in seatbelts for the kids (thankfully just a small trip around the corner to the meeting point). Sadly our 'VIP' experience was shared with a German couple, which meant although we had a lovely big air-conditioned hummer, my husband and son were squashed into the back seats all day with limited leg room and aircon. In addition, the Guide had to then repeat everything in both English and German.
Our guide was very knowledgeable but incredibly impatient, getting frustrated when the German couple took a while to greet the car service, and beeping his horn at the others on the journey that were self-driving. It was very unnerving how impatient he was every time someone was lagging or taking a while to park - felt like we were constantly rushing which wasn't relaxing. Because a few were taking a while to park at the lunch taverna, he even threw two families out their own cars and insisted on hurriedly parking their jeeps themselves.
Unfortunately during our trip one of the self-drive jeeps broke down and due to staff shortages (explained by our guide), our guide and another had to drive back to the HQ to get a replacement car for the family. This meant we were delayed at a cafe for over 45 mins and lost about 25 mins of our tour time as a result (and it wasn't extended at the end either).
We didn't stop at Prevalis beach as per the description, instead were told to walk to the viewpoint for photos but not to walk down as there was no time. Equally, I expected us to stop at the gorge waterfall (main point of booking the trip), but we didn't do this ether. We did take a longer stop off for lunch and the lamb chops included were delicious. Sadly the beach we were taken too was very windy and there was no shelter at all - so we weren't really able to enjoy the time as was too hot for the kids to be out of the shade for over an hour, and the wind was making the sharp sand whip against our skin (appreciate the windy weather can't be helped).
We stopped at a lovely viewpoint of the district, which was amazing. Our guide also took the time to stop the car to pick and show us wild herbs and pears (he clearly had a passion for botany) .
Overall though the trip was badly timed, affected by the broken car and then extremely rushed at the end. The promised stop at prevalis and the waterfall gorge was not included and that was my main reason for booking - so sadly I wouldn't recommend the trip. Too long in the car and rushed at stop offs.
