Unforgettable day trip - A wonderful and absolutely recommendable day trip into the nature of Crete, you are taken to places you do not get to see as a "normal" tourist, enjoy local products, see how they are created and experience the ubiquitous hospitality of the Cretan people, thank you to our driver Thomas for the unforgettable day in an almost family atmosphere.

Funny informative - We had a great, fun and very informative day with our "driver" Thomas. He also had suitable music in the car for each topic. We sang a full pot. At the end we had another quiz, but we mastered it easily. Efcharisto Thomas. Always happy to.

Best day out - Absolutely the best day. Includes pick up from your hotel and lunch. Vasilis our driver was fun and shared his knowledge and stories of life on Crete. 8 people per car which is comfortable. Lunch was fantastic, mixed starters followed by chicken, pork and potatoes with lots of water and wine. You are taken off road to areas you wouldn't normally be able to access. Plenty of stops for photos or at villages.

Safari Club Crete is recommended - Guide Thomas led us safely to the Lasithi plateau with stopover for shopping and photo top with goat feeding. Lunch in a small tavern followed by tasting of Cretan products. Thomas gave us a lot of information about Crete, Lasithi and the residents.
