A really lovely and experience-rich trip. In addition to the planned, we also got some knowledge from our driver about plants and spices. Can be highly recommended.
thanks so much for your review
Very nice excursion off the beaten track with the manager of Adventure Crete. Perfect organization, customer attention and clear explanations. Recommended without hesitation.
Merci beaucoup pour votre review fantastique.
Andreas was the perfect guide. We were a small group of uweier couples and a solo traveler and got along brilliantly. I can recommend the tour to anyone.

Thanks a lot for your feedback Ierapetra
A great day out. Enjoyed the whole trip including the drives between stop off points. Good chance to see a bit more of Crete. Lunch was good. Our guide, George was great and it was lovely to be in a small group, especially for the boat trip to Spinalonga.
Great experience! Lots of great history and information from our guide and easy boat ride to the island. Olive oil tasting was fun and enjoyable.
Very informative and friendly tour guide with knowledge throughout the tour and very accommodating as well as the tour its self was really well structured and entertaining
We had a great day out with our hugely informative guide, Michael. It was just us and another couple, honeymooners 'Stella and George'. The private speed boat to and from the island made us feel like celebrities in a sea of commoners. Spinalonga Island was a fascinating journey through many ages and a beer on the waterfront offered us much needed shade and a great view of the surroundings. The stop for lunch at Nick's Koutouki was a Cretan treat. Michael went above and beyond with engaging conversations, captivating stories and encyclopedic knowledge of herbs and local produce. We took in many beautiful views along our scenic tour. We recommend this private tour, which showcased the best of this gorgeous region.
Thanks so much for your detailed wonderful review. Agios Nikolaos
The Island has an interesting history but it is spoiled by all the tourists boats. This means very often you have to queue to get in if you haven’t previously booked. It feels eerily sad looking at the most recent remains from the leper colony but the Venetian history I found more interesting.
The island has many visitors from all over the world. Therefore we go with our own speedboat to avoid all this. But we cannot guarantee that there are not other tourists on the island in the main season. Also we cannot influence the past and history of the island. Also we do much more than just the island, we show small villages, mountains, a cave. we go for a fantastic lunch.
