Great Tour with the Quads and nice stops at an olive farm and the caves. Instructors dis a very good job to have a safe day. Thank you.

We had the absolute pleasure of joining Mario from Safari Experts for the Cretan Life – Cooking Lessons tour, and it was an incredible way to experience the heart of Crete. Mario’s personality truly made the trip unforgettable—he’s warm, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor that kept us laughing the whole day. His passion for Crete’s culture and traditions shone through, making the tour feel like an adventure with an old friend. The day was filled with so many memorable experiences. We started at a shepherd’s farm, where we tried goat milking and tasted fresh cheese—such a unique and authentic activity! At the Aposelemis Dam, we got to admire breathtaking views of the dam and the sunken village of Sfendili from a gorgeous overlook. Mario even came up with some hilarious photo op ideas for my husband and me, which we’ll cherish forever. The cooking lesson was another highlight, where we prepared traditional snacks and got hands-on with local recipes. Later, we enjoyed a full traditional Cretan meal at a local restaurant, complete with wine and warm hospitality—it was a true taste of the island. The ceramic workshop was unforgettable, allowing us to craft our own pieces and shop for beautiful, high-quality ceramics at fantastic prices. It was so special to take home a little piece of Crete with us! Mario’s thoughtful approach and incredible storytelling made every stop along the tour feel meaningful. This experience was not just a tour—it was a beautiful introduction to the culture, history, and spirit of Crete. We highly recommend Safari Experts and especially Mario to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable adventure.

We booked a private car off road trip and had a guide in a car in front. Our guide was amazing, funny friendly and helpful. Off roading, seeing the local villages and viewpoint, local cafes and attractions. After a day of adventure we joined a group of 20 ish people at their base we they had prepared a bbq and salad as well as drinks. The bbq was included and the alcoholic tipple they gave and to buy water juice or alcohol it was so cheap. The pick up and drop off was easy and great. Was a bit expensive but we chose to have a private one and drive our own car. The whole day was an adventure we will never forget. Would highly recommend and will do again

We are very happy that we booked this tour. It is nice to see the villages, know how people live and learn the culture. Our guide named Vagelis made it so fun that there is no dull moments during the entire trip. We've got a photographer as well. This is highly recommended though cave of Zeus is closed during our tour because it is too late for us to come to Crete. A lot of businesses started to close for the winter season. According to the locals the best time to come is from May to september. But we will definitley go back and book other trips with safari experts of course.

We had an amazing time. The Land Rover thing was super cool and our guide was knowledgeable and funny. It was great to see traditional Greek life and get up into the mountains.

Great tour, although the Zeus Cave was shut so we didn’t get to see it which was but disappointing. As an alternative we were taken to pottery place which was fun. Great guide and fab experience, highly recommend.

Adam was the best tour guide ever! We loved the Land Rover - the off reading was so much fun for my 5 year old son. Gorgeous good, loads of information, felt like a real Cretan experience.

The tour was amazing! Ilias (the driver) showed us a really authentic Crete and gave us a good insight of how the people live.

Amazing!!!! Our driver Mike was so funny and the views were absolutely incredible. Very informative and had a great day out. Thank you 👍👍👍

This was a fabulous trip. Mario was superb 👌. I've been on a few jeep safari's in Crete but this was about the best. THANK YOU for a wonderful day and fantastic memories. Sandra Kelly and family

Thank you to Adam for being our paparazzi and taking photos of my husband and I on our trip! We had so much fun visiting the beach and seeing the gorge. He even bandaged my knee after I tripped on a walk. Highly recommend!!!

We saw so many view tops and they were all amazing Mike took loads of pictures for us and we had so much fun in the car on our way, we listened to lots music and I got to be the DJ, Mike told us lots of jokes and history also visited lots of churches that were really interesting. We stopped at a little cafe to have some traditional coffee and it was so tasty and then we had some lunch which was so good and saw so many cute cats my favourite part was when we was going up the mountain and I got to milk a goat and try fresh olive oil. But overall Mike was really fun. (He had amazing camera skills)

This trip was so much fun!! I booked as a solo rider as my partner didn’t want to join, so I was slightly apprehensive, but it was amazing! We traveled around different areas of the Lasithi region, stopping at scenic spots taking in the picturesque landscape of Crete. I knew it would be good, as this was my second trip with Safari Experts, but it was even better than expected. Alex, my group guide, kept checking in on me to make sure I was okay - which as the only solo rider of the group I appreciated. The off-road part of it was pretty awesome, especially the second off road stop! I fully recommend this trip, and Safari Experts as a trusted tour group. Word to the wise: if you’re doing the quad biking, accept the offer of buying the bandana for €7 if you don’t have one with you. Don’t be smart thinking you can go without, it gets incredibly dusty! I’m glad I bought one from them.

It was a very fun trip to see the quieter and more traditional interior of Crete. Our visit to a quiet and traditional coffee shop in a small village was a highlight. The traditional lunch in another village was relaxing, delicious, and not too touristy—just what we wanted. Our guide, Vagelis, provided fantastic local insights and the history of Crete. I highly recommend it.

Adam was amazing host / driver.. Pick up and dropp off from our hotel and Lunch was included. The cooking class was just a wee 5 min show on how to stuff peppers. While some goats ran away. We did see some great views and got some good photos . But I'm not sure it was worth the £95 per person charge. We did book this throw pur hotel so not sure if they get a cut of the payment.. but if u need a cheaper tour just rent a car for the day and just use Google maps for it all..
