Super great time - Such a great tour by quad bike !!
Through small villages with narrow streets, through the goat enclosure, through a stream, to a reservoir, over rocks and through sand and gravel. Mountain after mountain.
It was so much fun. Highly recommended.
And big praise to the guides.

The Quad tour experience... - The Quad tour experience was once in a lifetime. Travelling up to the peaks of some of the highest mountains in Crete was something we'll never forget. Truly Beautiful!

Best excursion of the holiday - We had a great time. My girlfriend was very nervous of this trip but it turned out to be our most enjoyable activity. It was really varied with a combination of tarmac and sandy roads. We had a few stops for photos and views in the mountains. We also had a coffee stop at a beautiful lake. The quads got us to places we otherwise wouldn't have seen. We went as a big group and although broken down to smaller groups along the way, it felt reassuring that we were all together. Wear old clothes as you will get really dusty and buy a balaclava for the dust in your face (€2 euro from the venue). It really was so fun and we got photos printed at the end too. Such a great experience and we also didnt think it was too costly for the experience we got.

Highly Recommended! - We had a fantastic experience with Discovery Safaris in Rethymnon. Communication was excellent, everything was well organized, and the team was very helpful. They even asked if we were vegan or vegetarian for the meal, which showed real attention to detail. Highly recommended, 100%.

Great fun and value - A great afternoon's fun! Harry took good care of the group, especially those with limited experience of driving a quad. It's very dusty in places and we arrived back covered from head to toe. Having some experience of quads I still found it reasonably challenging as we went up the mountain tracks at a good pace. The views are also amazing when you can safely get a chance to have a look. I thought it was good value for money and would certainly recommend for those who want to get away from the beach, see a bit of the countryside and do something a little different.

Incredible - It was FANTASTIC. One of the best things we have done. We felt safe and cared for. We had very good thorough guides.
We were so pleased that they took some cool photos of us, because we were unsure if we were allowed to use phones (passenger obviously). We purchased printed and digital photos of the trip but we really wish that, as well as the photos of us, there were some general photos of the journey of the beautiful landscape too because we didn't take any due to not knowing whether we could use our phones.
Anyway. It was WELL worth it. It was incredible. Thanks

Fun activity for family, friends and couples - It was a fun experience and our instructor was a nice funny man! Nicolas he was called, really great!
We drove around the lake with a group and were able to drink and eat halfway. We also got sandwiches from Nicolas, this was included in the price.
