Adults and children, everyone loved it! - Our family of 7 adults and 6 children was split up right from our hotel into 2 jeeps driven by the excellent drivers Manolis and Joseph. Everything was managed by the equally excellent and welcoming Adeline: while driving the lead jeep, she broadcast her commentary to us over the radio in her native language, French. The drivers supplemented the commentary in each car. Breathtaking landscapes and thrills interspersed with moments of relaxation, swimming, and dining. Thank you for this great organization.

A truly successful day with guide Thomas. - Our guide was Thomas, who told us a lot about Crete and gave us a wonderful, eventful day. We were a small group of 6 people and we also had fun ☺️☺️☺️ we visited a chapel on the Juchta, a village where we were allowed to taste olive oil, olives, honey,... everything from their own production and could also purchase them. We continued to the Tripiti Gorge and the beautiful Tripiti Beach, where we received an authentic Cretan lunch that was very delicious😋. On the way back, we made another stop to taste ice cream made from sheep's and goat's milk from our own production. It was a wonderful excursion that we can only recommend. A big thank you to Thomas😉

Amazing 4x4 Tour with Gregor! - This 4x4 adventure was absolutely fantastic! It was one of the best experiences of our trip. Our driver was amazing—friendly, professional, and an incredibly skilled driver. He made the ride exciting while always making us feel safe and comfortable. He shared interesting information, had a great sense of humor, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The off-road experience was thrilling, and the views were breathtaking. I highly recommend this 4x4 tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. A huge thank you to our wonderful driver for making this experience so special!

Safari Club Tour - Tripiti Gorge and Beach, South Crete - It was a fantastic excursion; we were picked up at the hotel on time and had a wonderful day. Thomas entertained us in a relaxed manner. Provided an exciting insight into the land and its people. Great tour away from the mass tourism. We took breaks in places we would never normally reach. We tasted delicious ice cream, truly a wonderful day, and it will remain an unforgettable experience for us. I received the excursion as a birthday gift; it was a very good idea, thank you very much for that. Best regards until the next vacation. Heidi and Dirk (BMG) ;o)

Enjoyed - We have booked via tui. Was a great experience. This is all because of Ruud 1. Who knows how to tell everything about the island. This is the second time we've been with him. And certainly won't be the last. Thanks Ruud 1

On the road with the Jeep Safari - Fun, cozy tour with nice view at church, short walk through a gorge, meeting goats, swimming in the Libyan sea and a delicious extensive lunch. Seen a lot, laughed a lot and enjoyed it a lot. Jan (our guide) thank you 😁

Great day trip, and you cannot choose other guests. - After we had already booked a tour with Safari Club last year, we decided to choose this company again this time. At our explicit request, we received our tour guide Jan again, who conducted our tour in three languages. It was, as expected, a very beautiful day with many great experiences and impressions. Unfortunately, there is a small issue that we did not like very much, which is not due to the Safari Club or Jan, but to another tour guest who apparently had an alcohol problem and behaved quite poorly, which was very unpleasant. All seven guests felt strongly disturbed, and in the end, he became aggressive and insulting. Despite that, it was a very nice trip.
