Great tour and very informative. - Our tour started hy meeting John (Ioannis), you can tell how passionate he is about the island from his explainations of the history of the island its agriculture. At one point we had to change drivers as something came up. Our next driver was Panagiotis (Panos), sadly I got injured and hopefully this didn't leave some kind of trauma. They immediately organized themselves and help me out. They took me to a taverna near by where a van came to pick me up with a driver Manoulis , who bandaged my foot. He then rushed me to the hospital where they took x-rays and afterwards also helped us get to a pharmacy. Eventually he dropped us off at our residence. Truly altough I didn't finish the tour I think I have never met more helpful, kind and friendly people. Also I hope that Ioannis reads this you were greatly missed.

Crete Jeep Tour - Our jeep tour through Crete’s White Mountains was the absolute BEST way to end our cruise trip! We booked through the cruise line and weren’t sure what to expect, but this exceeded our expectations by far. Jason, our guide, was incredible—funny, full of energy, and kept us laughing the whole time, while also being very knowledgeable about Cretan culture and history. The journey itself was amazing—we stopped in little towns along the way, learned about the life of a shepherd, and even saw millions of olive trees and herds of goats as we climbed higher into the mountains. The views from the top were simply breathtaking—pictures can’t even capture the “wow” of what we saw! Lunch was another highlight: a delicious three-course authentic meal paired with a shot of raki. The food was so good I wish I had the recipe—it was truly delightful! This tour was unforgettable from start to finish. Highly recommend it, and if you’re lucky enough to get Jason as your guide, you’re in for an incredible experience!

Jeep safari through the white mountains of Crete - An excellent trip with Olga as our guide which we would thoroughly recommend. She was great fun, but also shared a lot of information about the Cretan traditions and way of life- very interesting throughout the whole day! The lunch stop was particularly good with a very generous and tasty three course meal. Thank you for a great day out.

A must see trip - We had a lovely day, Giannis our driver was fabulous, informative, friendly and funny. The views from the White Mountains are amazing , the shepherds hut was very interesting, the drive up in some parts are very bumpy, if you have a bad back, think twice. The Land Rover was fine and able to take the off road experience. We had a great group of 8 in the car. The coffee and lunch stops were lovely, the toilets very clean. We had a great time, so pleased we did it to see outside Chania, and would highly recommend it.

Best driver - very good tour - I can't thank the driver enough. Please pass on my thanks to him (I can't remember his name - but he'll remember the day because he tried to help someone who's car was overheating at the top of the mountain). He was by far the best driver and guide I've ever experienced on holiday. VERY knowledgeable. Very nice. Cracking jokes all the way. Only downside was one or two very immature people from Holland who kept making sarcastic responses and couldn't control themselves. He handled it well though. If you need me to send photo of driver, I can. I recommend this trip to anyone.

Good experience - Cool experience, to see parts of Crete that are not necessarily visited. Climbing the mountain with guides and cars was essential, because climbing it on your own is almost impossible. The guide was super nice, accommodating and shared his knowledge very well. Experience to do with family, couple, etc... food included, but you can not choose specifically what you want. Experience in the heatwave, so even if there was air conditioning in the car, the heat was unbearable. You have to pay more attention to this subject, for the well-being of guides and tourists.

Good way to see the mountains and amazing lunch - We had a good trip out into the mountains in a jeep car. It was nice to get off road and see some views in the mountains and go above 1000m above sea level to a shepherd's hut. There was quite a long gap of around 3 hours between coffee and lunch for a toilet break. The lunch was excellent at a traditional taverna. Greek salad, zucchini, aubergine stew, pork and potatoes and of course Raki afterwards. Overall it was a good and different way to spend the day.

Ok - Lovely views, driver was friendly, food was ok. Marked down as the day we went it was so hot (even the drivers commented how hot it was), website clearly says 'Two Zones A/C Front & Rear', but there was no A/C in our vehicle, or most of the others we were in convoy with?? Also a little disconcerting, that when collecting people from various pick ups at the start, the driver was using Google maps off his phone, which was... resting on his thigh.
