If you don't want to do much in your holidays, but you want to explore Crete, this is for you - The guide was amazing. We went as a German couple and the hole group was German. Everybody was very friendly. The guide speaks very well German and answered all our questions. Before we get started, he told us, who to reak if we have a problem and that's made me feel safer, because I knew, if I don't get the hill, he will get me up there. The views were amazing. We didn't see much from Crete before, but after we knew a lot about nice spots. Driving by myself was amazing. It just coud have be more Offroad than just the first 2h (about). It was a nice opportunity to see the south side and the hills between. We stayed on the north side.

Just amazing - We had a really interesting and fun day, interesting sights, fun observations from our guides, mountains and beaches. Wonderful to see this part of Crete, so different from the hotel life on the north side of the island. 💯 recommend.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS DAY OUT, WORTH EVERY EURO! - One of the best trips we've been on. We opted for the deluxe due to the heat, but the self drive buggies looked equally good fun. Our guide, Demetrius was superb and a font of knowledge. The area is stunny and I have some superb photos and lasting memories. A quick 10 minute drive (hotel pick up) to their base, then a day out. Definitely worth a visit. Thank you for a brilliant day out.

A must-do activity to see the island. - We were a family of 6 including 2 grandparents aged over 70 and 2 young children aged 5 and 3. We had a fantastic day out in the 7 seat Hummer which was the guide vehicle for the 12 jeeps behind us. It was about 8 hours altogether but flew by. Our guide Dimitris was excellent and so knowledgeable and interesting. The stops were lovely and we got to see a lot of this beautiful island. Thanks to all the team for an excellent day.

Fantastic - our tour guide was Dimitris and he was superb. He educated us to the many wild herb, flowers and fruit. he picked wild cherries for us and they were delicious. The roads he took us on were quite challenging in places but the views were simply stunning. At one point we stopped alongside a sheer gorge with huge Vultures flying just above our heads, an impressive sight. the stop at the picturesque lake was a welcome rest with stunning views. We continued on to Ligres beach for some lunch at a taverna and a swim in the crystal clear water. the beach was basically deserted so it felt special and was beautiful. The knowledge Dimitris has regarding the flora and fauna on Crete made the trip educational and fun. We can highly recommend this company and especially this driver as he made the trip excellent.

Rain Trip - Trip was great. Though it rained before so the sight was foggy in the morning, but it cleared in the evening. We saw a lot of crete. And driving was fun. Even with some parts beeing muddy and all, the cars had no troubles. For those who fear, its both save and fun. Dont worry. Dimitris is a good and fun Guide.

Know Before You Go on Jeep Safari - Overall this was a fun tour but there were some things I wish we'd known in advance. The jeep has a manual transmission (stick shift) and wasn't so easy to drive. The rest of the tour group was German and did not speak English -- it would have been more enjoyable to be able to converse with fellow travelers. The guide was awesome -- friendly and very knowledgeable. The lunch was adequate but nothing special. We swam at a lovely beach but there were no changing rooms -- just a little bathroom. At the other beach we had to walk up many to the viewing point -- it was a warm day and the climb was hard for me.

Amazing island trip - We booked this as we did the same in Madeira last year. This wasn’t at the same level due to different terrain and climate but it was better on the eye. The amount of different vegetation that you see growing on the island within a small area is amazing. Our guide Dimitri was very knowledgeable and took us around in the jeep. We stopped at two different beaches either side of lunch (which was excellent). Highly recommended
