Excellent driver, delicious lunch highly recommended
Our driver Darryl picked us up at our hotel, he was brilliant, very knowledgeable and engaging. Was happy to answer questions, his driving was excellent we felt in very capable hands. The stops were interesting and we had plenty of time to take pictures, Darryl was happy to take pictures for us. Lunch was the best I have ever had on a trip very authentic Cretan and was delicious. I have been on many jeep safari type trips and this was definitely one of the best if not the best. Highly recommended

Safari Club: Minoan Route with Lunch
emmafR3086IN, Sep 2026
Fantastic trip
What another fantastic experience. We have been doing this trip for years and are never disappointed. Jason was our tour guide, from the moment he picked us up he was fantastic. Once everyone's on board we we off, he introduced himself, background and how the day was going to look. The transport was super comfy, Mercedes mini bus, real treat. I have long term health conditions and use a walking aid, this to Jason was not a problem, he assisted me when getting out of the vehicle at every stop. His knowledge was truly amazing, we learned so much more this year, we had many opportunities to take plenty of photos as he stopped many times, he never rushed us at all. He even offers to take 📸 of us at the most spectacular viewing points. We had a stop at the olive oil factory, a stop high up in the mountain to learn about life, cooking etc. The final stop was lunch, it was perfect, beautifully cooked, except service. Again on way back we had more photo opportunities. This is a 5 star trip and worth the money. A good tour guide tops it all and Jason was certainly that. Highly recommended, advice if considering, sensible footwear, plenty of water, light rain coat just incase.

Quad Safari experience
A great experience—the guides were fantastic, humorous, and very helpful. If you’ve never ridden a quad bike before, there’s nothing to worry about; they explain everything and teach you how to do it. You can’t reach many of these places by car, so I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. I’d gladly do it again, and I’m very grateful for the adventure.

Day trip on the water
The crew on this trip was professional, attentive, and made sure everyone on board was well taken care of. My wife and I booked this day trip to celebrate our honeymoon, and they went above and beyond to recognize and celebrate our special occasion, as well as the other celebrations happening on board. You don’t have to worry about bringing any food or beverages. All food, drinks, and adult beverages are included and plentiful. The food was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from.There were about 20 people on our trip, and there was more than enough room for everyone to sit comfortably. There were also plenty of activities on board for everyone to enjoy. Be sure to grab a seat up front—the views and overall experience are fantastic!All around, this was a great trip - so clean and very affordable as well. Anyone looking for a fun day on the water should book this trip!

An Unforgettable and Perfectly Arranged Private Tour of Crete

An Unforgettable and Perfectly Arranged Private Tour of Crete
We had an absolutely fantastic time exploring Crete with George! From start to finish, the tour arrangement was excellent. George was incredibly thoughtful and proactive, adjusting our itinerary perfectly based on the predicted weather forecast so we could enjoy the sights comfortably (and safely dodge the light rain at the end of the day!).He timed our stops brilliantly, making it feel like an off-peak visit. We were able to explore the Palace of Knossos and the beautiful streets of Heraklion at our own pace without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by crowds. George gave us a profound and fascinating taste of the history of Greece and Crete—spanning from 3500 BC and the Minoans all the way through the Byzantine and Venetian periods.The itinerary was packed with local gems. After walking through the Venetian Harbour and seeing Palace of Knossos , we visited the Politakis Olive Mill for a wonderful tasting of Cretan "liquid gold." A major highlight was visiting the Ploumis Pottery Workshop in Thrapsano, where Me even got to try making pottery hands-on, and we learned about the clever Cup of Pythagoras! We ended the sightseeing at the peaceful Agarathos Monastery before a scenic drive back.Throughout the entire day, George was a highly responsive, safe, and accommodating driver. If you want a tour that perfectly balances deep historical knowledge, local culture, and personalized care, we cannot recommend George enough. Thank you for a wonderful day!
