Use it or lose it!

Exspect warm bottled water not cold. Sandwich was average at best. Tour leader was rude and not very friendly. All he cared about was finishing on time. When we did stop he was solo on his phone instead of explaining where we were

Great activity

Having been on quad bike experiences all over the world this was by far the best one yet. Proper off road tracks, great guide, good quads, decent amount of riding time, definitely value for money. The ride can be a little nervy if you haven't been on a quad before, but it's safe if you stick to the rules. The review I saw saying it was dangerous I suggest you stick to fair ground rides.! Go have some fun people

Fun and exciting!!

So much fun!!! It was my first time ever on a quad and what an exciting experience. Team was great with explaining the quad and how to control it. You see the countryside and the mountainsides. Amazing vistas that you see while you’re driving. Oh and don’t wear your Sunday best because you will get dirty!

Great Fun!

My wife and I booked the 4 hour quad safari and we were not disappointed. It was well organised and we had a fab time, loved it. Great staff, very dusty trial, so we recommend taking a scarf for your face! Tasty sandwich provided half way.

Super great time

Such a great tour by quad bike !! Through small villages with narrow streets, through the goat enclosure, through a stream, to a reservoir, over rocks and through sand and gravel. Mountain after mountain. It was so much fun. Highly recommended. And big praise to the guides.

The Quad tour experience...

The Quad tour experience was once in a lifetime. Travelling up to the peaks of some of the highest mountains in Crete was something we'll never forget. Truly Beautiful!

Best excursion of the holiday

We had a great time. My girlfriend was very nervous of this trip but it turned out to be our most enjoyable activity. It was really varied with a combination of tarmac and sandy roads. We had a few stops for photos and views in the mountains. We also had a coffee stop at a beautiful lake. The quads got us to places we otherwise wouldn't have seen. We went as a big group and although broken down to smaller groups along the way, it felt reassuring that we were all together. Wear old clothes as you will get really dusty and buy a balaclava for the dust in your face (€2 euro from the venue). It really was so fun and we got photos printed at the end too. Such a great experience and we also didnt think it was too costly for the experience we got.

Highly Recommended!

We had a fantastic experience with Discovery Safaris in Rethymnon. Communication was excellent, everything was well organized, and the team was very helpful. They even asked if we were vegan or vegetarian for the meal, which showed real attention to detail. Highly recommended, 100%.
