Daniel was an awesome guide! He told us many interesting facts, stories and a lot of history about the island, the culture, the locals. He also showed us amazing places during our trip. Of course, the pearl of the trip was the sunset at the top of the mountain. Wow, what a view! The dinner we had at the local tavern was also an interesting experience, especially the view from the tavern. The food we tasted was very good and delicious.
It was a very nice tour. Our guide Lena spoke perfect German. She enriched us with a lot of knowledge about Crete and its vegetation. The trip was eventful. The walk through the olive grove and the sunset were impressive.
Our but also the other tour guides were all very nice. They had an interesting answer to every question and you felt very safe during the off road tour. The tour is just perfect with the perfect view to the sunset.
Absolutely awesome experience. Friendly guide and knowledgeable. Very delicious food and strong wine🫣 sunset and Mountain View just breathtaking

Lovely way to spend an evening; going up through the mountains was definitely an adventure with the narrow country roads! The church we stopped at was beautiful as was sitting and watching the sunset. The meal afterwards was a great way to try different foods and so lovely that it was in one of the local villages, a great evening all round.

My partner and I were so glad we booked the sunset boat tour. The guides were really friendly and even offered to take pictures for the guests. The view of the sunset over Chania was so beautiful and seeing the old town at night from the water was great.
