Perfectly organized
Great tour to Samaria gorge. Pickup in morning was exactly on time, scenic drive to the starting point, very friendly and helpful guide, beautiful scenery along the hike, and a pre-air-conditioned bus awaiting us after the boat trip.
Bring your swimming gear and don’t forget a pair of slippers to walk on the black sand beach!

Extremely competent and dedicated team
Kostas was an absolute great driver in mountainous roads. Kostas the guide was extremely devoted to his guests during the trip. He solved every problems with difficult guests. Be prepared as this is a long day. We were picked up at the hotel at 5:15 am and came back past 9:30 pm

Loved it
Jul 2020 • Family
They always piked us up at our hotel, and brought us back. Very nice people at the office, driver and our guide. He always asked if we were ok, and everyone is very polite. Guide speaks english well and answered any questions we had. Driver also drove very safely in the mountains. Samaria was breathtaking, we tried to take some pictures but it is imposible to put that kind of view and beauty into a photo. Patways are a little bit wild, not cemented, and I loved it, it wasn't hard to walk, because you went always down, of course the next day it was hard to walk downstairs 😂. The whole expierience was amazing, if we come back to Crete one day, we will take some more trips with Checkin Crete. I recomend it a lot.

A beautiful trip
It was one of the most amazing experiences! Beautiful nature that changes as you walk down the gorge, interesting paths and fresh air. This hike might seem challenging at first, but it's completely accessible for everyone without even feeling sore afterward (well, maybe just a little). There are multiple panoramic stops where you can also refill your water bottle from the refreshing clear spring, pet some Cretan kri kri goats and take a break. After going through till the end you will be rewarded with a relaxing swim in the sea on the beach. Great way to stay active and have fun! Totally worth it!
