7 Villages Tuk Tuk Tour in Crete with Free Time in Sissi454rosso, Sep 2026
Excellent Tuk Tuk tour in Crete
Great day out with a friendly & knowledgeable guide.

10/10 experience
With Captain4aday we spent a perfect day in Greece. The instructor was very very nice. Everything was explained and there was even a test drive with the instructor which was very helpful. We didn’t have to worry about anything. They showed us an app which was very helpful seeing which places we could explore. The only downside was that we didn’t know in advance that we have to pay the gas on top of the rest at the end.
Overall a 10/10 experience. We would always do it again and recommend everyone.

Excellent value trip
Quite a long walk down to beach and back up. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues although we did make use of a disability van that was passing! Very reasonable snack bar on the beach. Take euros for sun bed hire and loos.
Honey farm and Elos village were good stops. Ingrid was a very informative guide and Stavros an expert driver navigating hairpin bends!

A thoroughly enjoyable day!
We really enjoyed the trip! Our guide Carolina was fabulous, very knowledgeable and eager to share her love of Crete. We thought the trip was really good value for money, with a stop for honey tasting, a few hours at the beach and then a late lunch, if you wanted it at an extra cost, on the way back. The restaurant was lovely, at a small village, though be warned the portions are huge!!! But delicious! A thoroughly enjoyable day.

Highly recommended
Everything was great, the nice lady from Holland was great (unfortunately we don't remember her name anymore), you see a lot and get a great first impression of the area :)

Troy Dinner-Showjenniferat2016, Sep 2026
Definitely recommend
Show was amazing, the performers were incredible, I was mesmerised. My only issue was there only one option for food and I couldn’t eat the starter. However, that was a ‘me issue’ and it did not affect my enjoyment of the show. The wait staff were friendly and accommodating.
This is usually not the kind of thing I would attend, but I have a deep love for Greek Mythology and thought I’d give it ago - I’m so glad I did.
Will 100% recommend.

Such a great experience!
Our group had a wonderful time horseback riding! Nico was an excellent instructor and cares exceptionally for his horses. He is jovial and our group made wonderful memories. The horses are quite tame, and we didn’t have trouble controlling them under Nico’s direction. Paschalítsa (ladybug) is a beautiful white horse who I felt safe and comfortable riding. We rode the horses along the sea, and were a fun spectacle to the tourists at the beachfront cafes. The length of the trek is long enough to grow our confidence with the horses, and short enough so we don’t feel sore from the saddle. The stables are in a rural area and quite primitive.

Troy Dinner-ShowElizabeth_K, Sep 2026
A must-see while you’re in Crete!
This is an outstanding theatrical production in a stunning space. The amazingly talented performers give it their all, heart and soul. You also get to be part of the action, a delight for children and parents alike. And the dinner itself was so delicious. We spoke with the owner, who clearly cares deeply about the whole experience for everyone. This is truly a must-see!

Trip Review
Kalimera, took my son and i on this trip, it was very good. Easy to book, clear instructions and times to meet. Excellent amount of time for a first timer and very cost effective. And a free shot of home made Raki to end. We caught 3 fish as well.Efharisto

Jeep Tour: Kourtaliotiko Gorge, Preveli & Spili VillageDominique_G, Aug 2026
10/10 experience
Firstly I want to say that our guide Yiannis was an absolute gem and a professional. He was extremely knowledgeable in Crete history and Greek mythology. He made us feel safe during the drive and throughout these different areas. He made the excursion even more incredible.For the excursion itself, I highly recommend bringing water shoes for the Kourtaliotiko Waterfalls. There are a lot of rocks leading up to the waterfall and if you’re bare foot like we was, you will lay the price lol. The scenery during the drive is breathtaking and the areas we went to didn’t disappoint at all

It was fun and a good...
It was fun and a good experience for someone who wants to ride a horse. Time was taken to explain how to sit and balance, how to turn and stop.

Balos Lagoon Off-road 4×4 Jeep Safari from KissamosbenedettamD6988YS, Aug 2026
TOP jeep experience
Beautiful place, especially at 8 in the morning, to enjoy the sea without too much crowding. The meeting point was easy to find and convenient from the parking lot. We left on time and the guys were helpful and friendly. They offered us a welcome cookie and after the climb back up from Balos, they gave us some cold water. A very positive experience that we recommend! 🩷
