The best day of any holiday i’ve ever been on!! - This experience has been nothing short of amazing! Mike (Sniper) was the best tour guide, incredibly entertaining and informative, he’s a credit to your company and his love for his career shows through not only his dedication and how hard working he is whilst on the tour (he goes above and beyond… especially with photography) but also how highly he speaks about what he does. We learnt all about the olive trees, how the villages work and the different types of foliage on the way up the mountain, as well as explaining what it’s like in the different seasons. Mike has immaculate driving skills (despite my heart being in my mouth for a lot of the off roading haha) and the drinks and food at the tavern were delicious! The “surprise” just tipped everything off too, the perfect way to end the most perfect day! I’ve never experienced anything like it or seen the views i saw - this trip was worth every penny and if you’re considering whether to do it, stop considering and just do it! Honestly, if i could afford to do it every evening for the rest of my holiday i would in a heartbeat. Thank you Mike, you’ve made this evening my favourite part of my holiday ❤️

Sunset in Crete's mountains - a jeep tour without jeep - I had booked a sunset tour on Friday, September 5th - unfortunately, the farmers in Crete just felt like being on the roads. That's why we drove back after 2 hours standing around in Heraklion. Costa, the driver, was the tranquility himself and wanted to convince us that we will have fun even without sunset. But we didn't want to (although I have to say afterwards, he was probably right :-). Then I was allowed to do the tour again the next day - this time with Nikos. However, we did not have a Jeep, but a Vinto. I thought that was a pity at first, but then we drove into the mountains and I sat in front. Let’s say: you must not be afraid of heights, because the ride is already a bit (!?) challenging and I spent some time examining the rock face, because the view to the other side was too challenging for me. But Nikos drove with absolute safety and calm. The first stop at a cafe with bread, olive oil and raki was already very relaxed and nice - especially because you were not forced to buy anything at any time. The prosecco on the mountain was welcome, the fruit delicious and the sunset spectacular. Afterwards we went back down to the tavern where we had a homemade meal with wine and water - in the end of course raki and a sirtaki, which we danced together until we went back to the hotel at 11 pm. This trip was just beautiful and relaxed and you got the impression that you were out with friends. It wasn't working through duties, but warm, cheerful and wonderful. Anytime I would go on a trip with this company again. Thank you.

Brilliant evening out , from mountains, sunset , food & dancing - What a fantastic 1/2 a day out . We left our hotel at 16,30pm back just after 22,00pm . Darryl our English driver who has lived in Greece for 34 years knew his stuff and some . His knowledge and details about everything historic to Crete, plants, goats, altitudes was exceptional and delivery was humorous and tailored to his audience . He was very good at including the 2 groups he had , us being English but also 2 ladies who were from Israel . The tour itself was well organised , the food was outstanding at the taverna and the Greek dancing was a laugh . Great day out highly recommended and I’m sure all the drivers are good but I can only comment on Darryl - loves his job, good sense of humour, creative photographer, passionate about Crete and gave us good memories . ❤️

Worth seeing - Great - With curiosity we waited outside our hotel for the driver to pick us up. Just in time, he appeared. We were warmly welcomed by Thomas our driver. He told us very interesting details about Crete that we did not know yet and with his warm and funny manner, he gets the full score from us. He combines his job with passion and passion, you can just feel that. Thanks for this great tour and the culinary highlights. We got to know a piece of Cretan culture. Definitely a thumbs up.

Unforgettable evening tour - Our sunset tour was just fantastic and exciting. Picked up on time at the hotel by our driver and guide Thomas. After a short introduction round, we first passed a reservoir for the first stop of the tour in a small Cretan village with tasting of raki, honey and olive oil. Afterwards we went up the mountain via narrow economic routes. Up on the mountain then the sunset had something mystical thanks to the clouds that day. After the descent from the mountain we went to an authentic Cretan dinner in a tavern. Starter and main course were fantastic. Then we went back to the hotel. Thomas made this evening an unforgettable one.
