A fabulous day to remember

A really great day! Yanni was our guide and driver and made the day fun and interesting. We had a hands on pottery experience, got to taste olive oil and honey produced at a family business. The off road drive up to the top of the plateau was fabulous as was the cave visit. Lunch was delicious and plentiful, so glad we did this on our holiday in Crete!

Highly recommend!

Cristian was a great guide. He really engaged with us and there was never a dull moment with our group. He has deep knowledge of the area and brought us to see local shops that had delicious samples and offerings of olives, olive oils, wines, and pottery. The views were amazing and the lunch was outstanding. Thank you!

Day tour with George!

We had an amazing tour today with George our tour guide... he made the experince amazing! The tour was so good, all day out in the 4 x 4 and we saw some incredible secenery. We got to go high in the mountains and even saw vultures which is something we really wanted to see! We had some traditional oil/wine/raki tasting, made pots, went to the thematic park and learnt about greek mythology and had some incredible food and drink at a traditional greek taverna with an amazing view. We learnt so much from our tour guide and he couldnt do enough for us, like taking pictures for us , opening the car door, great music and the knowledge he shared. We thought it was well worth the money, would definitely reccomend this tour. It felt like you had stepped back into a traditional greek life for the day and felt like a real cultural experience.

The experience of a lifetime

Our guide was very knowledgeable and totally into his job- we enjoyed him immensely! He took time to explain everything and made us feel comfortable the entire time - never rushed us and let us take time at each stop. We went thru many narrow roads up and down the mountains and explained every location to us - when it was over we didn’t want it to end

Outstanding Experience

Exceptional Service. Knowledgeable guide. Iosef gave us great insights into the Cretan way of life and drove us on winding roads so we could get the closest view possible from our off road vehicle. He brought us to a family run business, where Popi was the perfect hostess. She treated us like family! We tasted different Cretan wines, oils and liquor and even had a pottery lesson on the wheel! The traditional Cretan lunch was delicious! We highly recommend this tour. Nothing better!
