Great day out!

Published on Nov, 2024

A really wonderful trip to spend the whole day exploring Crete. The knowledge of our guide was second to none and always felt safe when driving across the more rugged terrain. The Zeus caves were closed at the time, which I wasn't aware of in advance, so worth checking if this is your main reason for booking. Otherwise, all the other activities were worth it.

A must when in Crete!

Published on Sep, 2024

I’d give 10 stars if I could! Michael was a fabulous guide with a wealth of knowledge. This is an incredibly packed tour, so just be prepared for an all day excursion. The details and planning that went into this tour far exceeded my expectations. I loved every single part of it.

Beautiful day with the most wonderful guide Gaetan

Published on Sep, 2024

What an amazing day! Our guide Gaetan was exceptional and made our day so memorable! The cave was so cool to see as well as off-roading on the mountain. Gaetan was very attentive and great driver and made us all happy and laughing the whole day. He was a pleasure to be around and if I could give him 10 stars review, I would. Thank you so much for a beautiful authentic experience in Crete :)

A fantastic way to experience Crete’s wondrous geography

Published on Sep, 2024

This trip totally surpassed our expectation's. Having arrived a few days prior in Crete we had already fallen in love with the geography of the island (we are staying in Agios Nikolaos), with the glorious coastal views and picturesque seafront. We wanted to experience the mountainous areas of the island and thought that this trip would be a good way to do that. Our tour guide, Gaetan, was fantastic. He has a joy for life and a fun personality that is infectious. He provided plenty of great conversation throughout the trip, showed good local knowledge and passion for his role. The variety in this trip makes it more than worth the price.The olive factory was interesting, the tasting delicious. The town of Krista was friendly and beautiful. The goats in the hills were very friendly and sweet. Lassithi Plateau and the roads through the area provide an incredible panorama of the dramatic Cretan landscape. The food we ate was absolutely delicious, and the location was spectacular. The cave of Zeus demanded a fairly rigorous hike, but was totally worth it - a very magical place, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Finally, the old church we visited was a very special place. The mix of great locations, a good vehicle and a friendly driver made this an experience we will never forget. This is extremely high value for money and I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a good day out. We plan on returning to Crete in the future and will likely book again on another excursion! Thank you so much Adventure Crete and our amazing guide, Gaetan!

Thoroughly enjoyable day out.

Published on Sep, 2024

We went on this trip as it was the only one available from our location that we hadn't previously done. We knew about the steep and uneven walk up to, and in, the caves and were planning to stay at the cafe whilst fitter people than us went to the cave. At our first stop our driver (a mad Frenchman whose name I ever did get properly) spoke to us about that element and voiced his concern about us trying it. He was understandably relieved when we told him of our plan. The other 2 couple, both much younger and fitter than us, said it had been hard work and one said they wouldn't try it again. Overall though it was a great day out with a visit to an Olive Oil factory, which may not sound exciting but we found very informative, a short stop in Kritsa, then up onto the plateau with fantastic views and real off-road travel. The only slightly disappointing element was the lunch. It was advertised as a traditional meze and, as we had experienced this on a previous trip with Adventure Crete, we were really looking forward to it. It really was not what we expected. It basically consisted of a choice of either chicken or pork with a couple of potatoes and a salad. Despite that slight negative it would not stop us travelling with Adventure Crete again. One of the great selling points for their trips is that all seats are forward facing rather than the typical Land Rover setup of side facing bench seats in the rear which, we know from experience, offer limited views and a not very comfortable ride. Adventure Crete might want to consider either fitting side steps as getting in and out of the vehicles can be a bit of a struggle for the less nimble.
