Review of Crete’s full-day Land Rover safari from Heraklion, with mountain villages, Zeus’s Cave, local lunch, and practical tips.

“George was an amazing guide and driver. He showed us the other Crete, far from the tourist spots along the coast. The coastal spots are justly proud of their beauty and history. The interior of Crete is a vision to behold. The topography is stunning. We got to meet a shepherd who makes goat cheese the traditional way; and we got to meet his goats. We saw a tree in Krasi frequented by writers like Niko Kazantzskis. And we got a history lesson on the struggles of the local inhabitants to simply live their lives. George was a wealth of knowledge on the various local views and customs when queried…”

“Great and fun experience. Would definitely go again. But some feedback should be given :) - Stop nag about 2 meters distance. We all have driving licence, witch tells us that 2 meters distance is too close. 2m in perfect conditions is 20km/t. That is, if reaction time is 0 and Read more”

Review of Crete’s 8-hour Land Rover safari, with mountain roads, Lake Kournas, local tastings, swimming, lunch, and olive oil.

“We are glad that we went on the trip as it was a great day out and it was an experience to go off-road over the mountains! The views were spectacular. Our guide was pleasant but we felt he could have been a bit friendlier, perhaps it was an off day. We enjoyed stopping off at the beautiful church and going on to taste the honey, wine and tea. The lunch was nice at the restaurant just across from the beach allowing us to swim in the warm Libyan Sea. It was quite fast paced and at times it felt a little bit rushed to fit everything in within the…”

“We had the pleasure of having Daryl as our guide for our Safari Trip. Tour started with a pick up from our hotel and we trekked through the mountains south of Maila through towns and villages learning about there way of life and history. So glad we decided to book, as we would have never done this on our own. Darryl our driver was very passionate , great knowledge about the local wildlife including a few sightings of birds, and about local plants which are used in our everyday ingredients. I felt we picked up tonnes of knowledge and turned everything we knew about crete on its head. thanks Darylnand…”

Review of the Rethymno Quad Safari in Crete, with mountain views, dusty off-road riding, village stops, costs, tips, and safety advice.

“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…”

No one called us. When we called on the day of the trip to confirm when they will come for pick us up, we’ve been told they don’t pick further than 15km from their main office. We were quite far. Refund was not possible. No even a word “sorry “ They don’t contact customers to advise if they are too far or not because they have :”many customers and don’t have time to confirm meeting…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 395 reviews · 6 hours · from $99

Review of Crete’s six-hour Land Rover mountain safari, with village stops, sunset prosecco, local dinner, unlimited wine, and practical tips.

“George was an INCREDIBLE host and driver for the evening. We both had a fantastic time and felt it was worth every penny. There are multiple stops along the way with stunning settings for photos. George was instrumental in encouraging everyone to capture the moments, with his own photography skills highly commended. The evening meal was at a great local authentic Greek tavern, which also accommodated vegan options within the food offered. We would not hesitate to recommend this experience to someone else! P.s. we would recommend bringing some cash to buy the olive oil and honey along the journey.”
