Amazing tour of viewing different rock formations. My guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. There were additional colleges that took turns at designated stops to explain the surroundings.
You cannot go wrong climbing into the mountains in a Land Rover Defender. The views were stunning. Our driver, Domenic, was friendly and informative and made sure everybody was happy and having an enjoyable time. Some in the group were scared of the sheer drops at the sides at times, but even they agreed they had a good time.
Dear Chris, Thank you very much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the mountain route, the views up there really are something special. It’s also great to know that Domenic made such a positive impression with his friendly and informative approach, while making sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and included. We understand that some parts of the drive can feel a bit adventurous, so we’re especially glad to hear that even those who were a little nervous still ended up having a good time. We hope to see you again on another adventure in Crete!
Very cool fun way to see Crete. The guide Ari was so informative and the food was wonderful! If you want to see Crete do this tour!!!
Fabulous tour to see a part of Crete that is off the beaten path. Stopped to look at olive processing, off the regular road and up to a shepherds hut, scenic views, fresh oranges and more. Olga is a wonderful guide with a great sense of humor, knowledgeable and a safe driver. Lunch at the local restaurant was a real treat.
Promised a local guide but ended up with an American who knew very little about Crete history, flora and fauna, environmental challenges. We learnt very little. We tried to ask him questions but he was polite but not at all friendly. The second guide was English and equally had no passion about Crete. ............................................................... Billed as an off road experience. We drove up regular roads and then on to a well maintained track. No excitement to be had. The picture and words on their website suggests otherwise. .......................................................... Meant to see great views but couldn't see very much crammed in the middle seat at the back. My husband had very little legroom behind the driver. The only person who got to see the views was the front seat passenger, and the driver. We hardly stopped on the long drive so not able to enjoy many views. In fact was firmly told 'No', when I wanted to get out of the vehicle. ................................................................ At one of the few stops, we visited a pair of churches, neither of which were open so we couldn't to see what the guide tried to tell us about it. Classic comment to sum up the commentary and depth of knowledge, 'Now, that church has many stories to tell', but then no stories were forthcoming. And we passed said church in seconds unable to see it. ..................................................................... . Vehicles were a bit dodgy. The one in front poured out smoke and only had one brake light working. The driver couldn't get it to go up a steeper section. Our vehicle, the AC wasn't working properly in the back, and it was a hot day. The suspension suddenly went driving along the main road. ......................................................................... . There was no water provided. Not sure what we would have done if the vehicles had broken down. . The guide 'bigged up' the shepherd's hut and said that we would be meeting the shepherd at lunch time so could ask him questions about life on the mountain. The shepherd wasn't there and his son didn't speak a word of English. ..................... In all, a very disappointing tour.
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the excursion did not meet your expectations. We would, however, like to clarify that one of the participants from your booking sat in the front seat and later declined to rotate with the other guests, as is our standard practice to ensure everyone enjoys the views equally. The itinerary and guiding service were carried out as usual, following our regular program and quality standards. Our guides are local residents of Crete who know the island and its traditions well, and during the visit to the shepherd’s area, they assist with translation whenever needed. We always appreciate our guests’ comments, as they help us further improve our excursions and services.
Great way to experience the non-resort and beach side of Chania and Crete overall. We enjoyed seeing the mountains, goats, sheep, learning all about Cretan agriculture and farming practices (especially the shepherding), and seeing Chania from above. Docking a point for convenience/comfort -- the 4x4 ride in the mountains is really really bumpy and winding and as we were sitting in the very back, we were jostled a lot
Dear Phil, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed exploring the mountainous side of Chania and learning about Cretan farming and shepherding traditions—it's a truly beautiful and authentic part of Crete that many visitors miss. We understand the 4x4 ride can be a bit rough, especially in the back seats, and we appreciate your honest feedback. Your insights help future guests know what to expect. We hope you'll join us again for another Cretan Holidays excursion to discover even more of the island’s hidden gems!
Was just like the rest of the reviews say, an absolute blast from start to finish! It is a very comprehensive itinerary and they pack a lot in for the day! The tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable, which makes it a no brainer. Don't look any further, just book it! A special thanks to our lovely toure guide, Louise, she was epic!
Dear Bhrat_J, Thank you for your enthusiastic feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the full day itinerary and found the guides so friendly and knowledgeable. It’s wonderful that Louise helped make the experience even more memorable.
Very capable and competent tour guides gave us a wonderful tour of the White Mountains. Meeting and speaking with a traditional shepherd gave a fascinating insight into a fast disappearing lifestyle. We thoroughly recommend this.
Dear Anthony, Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're delighted you enjoyed this beautiful excursion through the White Mountains. Meeting a traditional shepherd truly adds something special to the experience. We’d love to see you again on another Cretan Holidays excursion!
Very comfortable land rovers. The driver was also a great guide. We went up on roads you won't find on Google maps
Dear Peter, Thank you for your great review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the comfort of our Land Rovers and that your driver provided such a memorable experience, taking you to hidden spots off the beaten path. We hope to have the pleasure of showing you more of Greece on your next adventure!
