I went on the Jeep tour with Kostas behind the wheel. He is a very relaxed guide, fluent in English and German, and a really good driver. During the time on the road he likes to point out things that you see and talk a bit about the history or context. Really nice touch by him! The day is well thought out, with a good variety of driving time, stops, activities, time to swim and eat. No hurries but no wasted time either, perfect!
An unforgettable experience – the best way to discover the real Crete! This Jeep Safari was without a doubt one of the highlights of our holiday in Crete! From the moment the driver Nektarios picked us up in Rethymno at 8:00 a.m. until the end of the day, everything was perfectly organized and exceeded our expectations. We explored beautiful authentic Cretan villages, visited a peaceful hermitage, the Cave of St. John, and a stunning 11th-century church with remarkable frescoes. We also had the opportunity to taste delicious local wines, extra virgin olive oil, honey and traditional herbal tea made from Cretan thyme and other local mountain herbs. Visiting the olive oil factory was fascinating, and finishing the day with lunch by the beach was simply perfect. What truly made this trip exceptional, however, was our guide and driver Nektarios. He was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and genuinely passionate about Crete, its history, traditions, and culture. His stories were captivating, his sense of humor kept everyone smiling throughout the day, and he created such a warm and friendly atmosphere. Driving through the narrow, winding mountain roads requires real skill, and we felt completely safe the entire time. His confident driving allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the spectacular scenery. He also perfectly set the mood with carefully chosen Cretan music, making us feel immersed in the island's unique spirit. If you want to experience the authentic side of Crete—not just the beaches—this tour is an absolute must. We highly recommend it, and a huge thank you to our amazing guide for making this day so memorable! A special thank to the guide Nektarios.
Had a wonderful time with Nektarios. Filled with stunning views, great stories and delicious food. Would totally recommend
Very nice tour across the island… also across the mountains, where you cannot go with a normal car. Saw many corners that you normally do not get to see. In addition, you could test the delicious olive oil and much more, including food and 1 hour of swimming at a secluded beach. Highly recommended!!!
Nektarios is a fantastic guide, welcoming, fun, and friendly. Throughout the Safari, he explained every little detail to us. It was a fantastic and unforgettable day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It was a super jeep safari, we saw a lot and our guide Nektarios knew a lot about the island, the local people and nature and he also had humor. Highly recommended to go with the Jeep, so you learn a lot about Crete and there are many beautiful stops to take a picture. The Jeep was wonderfully comfortable and Nektarios had nice music on.
Would have loved to have given a 5 star review but the driver made a series of unkind remarks about the immigrants in Crete and this made us and others uncomfortable. He also kept repeating the same facts over and over again. Otherwise, he was a safe driver and the food at lunch was delicious. I’d still recommend the trip but we felt there was no need for politics which was entirely irrelevant. Good value overall
This was such a great tour! So much fun and very informative. The guides are very knowledgeable. Full day packed with activities to enjoy. Buy the honey and olive oil during the tour. It’s amazing ing !
We indeed step off the beaten path to discover an authentic and unique ridge in a small group. I won’t say more, it’s a beautiful day to treat yourself!! And with Nicolatius, good humor is a gift. Thank you for this wonderful support.
The tour was very nice. I would love to book it again. Nektarius rocks😊👏. Thank you very much for the many tips on attractions in Crete. I saw Bud Spencer👍😊
