Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We loved being driven around by Leonidas. We loved the flexibility of spending more time at some venues or less at others or asking for a food stop. We travelled in our designated vehicle instead of being herded onto a bus with strict schedules. We felt comfortable asking many questions and going at our own pace. The company is new and growing. The staff is very kind and accommodating. If your small group has any disabilities or limited mobility, flag that to Leonidas and his team so they can make accommodations to your itinerary. We would likely hire the same company when we return to Crete to discover the West end beaches. As a first time visitor, we had a full day. It was very enjoyable tasting Greek food, seeing ancient ruins and visiting the sites in mythology.

    This was an amazing tour!! Leonidas was an excellent guide and driver. He took us to the perfect lunch spot too. We debated renting a car and once we decided not to, we opted in for a full day tour instead. And I’m so glad we did that. Took away the stress of driving and we were able to explore more of Crete than just Chania, so worth every penny. Thank you, Leonidas!

    This was a perfect way to explore Chania Old Town. Our private tour guide Chryssa (so?) was highly knowledgeable and had a delightful personality. The tour included an excellent cafe lunch with our guide, and it gave us a chance to really get to know her and learn more about Crete history and culture. We really can’t think of a way to better spend a port day than with this tour.

    Private tour. Highly recommend. Our guide focused on our preferences. Bali’s Lagoon is spectacular, but the climb was more difficult than anticipated.

    Kostas was such fun tour guide! Make sure to bring your sense of humor. He is also so caring & thoughtful. He goes out of his way to make sure that you get the most experience in your tour. He has connections with the locals & make things happen. We’re so bummed to find that the Olive factory was closing for the day, Kostas used his charm & persuaded them to give us the tour & he performed his ‘how to drink Olive the right way’ performance for us😆 He’s also very organized, he came prepared with packaged of snacks that he treated us with at each stops. Each of those snacks represented authentic Greek foods & some of them were prepared by his mom & crops from their own farm…how thoughtful!
    We had three young adults & two adults but I think any age group would have a great time with Kostas.

    I cannot express how awesome this tour was! Crete is such a beautiful island with so many wonderful places to visit and we couldn’t decide what to do first! We were searching for a tour and a guide that could accommodate our interests and oh boy were we lucky to find Angie! She drove us to so many places like the cave of Zeus, the plateau in Lasithi (with the windmills), a small traditional village known for the huge plane tree more than 1000 years old, the olive oil shop (I wish I had more room in my luggage!!) and last the Knossos ruins! I highly recommend this trip!!

It was a magical day, we visited Balos - Gramvousa - Falasarna -Elafonisi -Kedrodasos. Food was amazing, too much and the boat just right.

    I have been lucky enough to go on a number of tours with the fantastic Adventure Crete. It really is true to say that without their knowledgeable, skilled drivers and comfortable off-road vehicles it would be impossible to get to and see so many of the incredible but inaccessible places Crete has to offer. I couldn't recommend their tours more highly.

    We were in town for a cruise ship stop and chose this option so that we could visit both Knossos Palace and Zeus's cave. Our driver was Michael who was there early to pick us up. He was fully engaged and knew an immense amount of Greek history and mythology. We stopped at the largest Plane tree and even stopped at a local olive oil factory for us on the way back to our ship. Would highly recommend Michael if you're in port for a short visit!

    Picked up in nice air conditioned car and driven by Alexander who was really friendly and professional. There was just us so a nice private tour.

    The olive tour was great, we were given a tour and talk then sat with olive oil, herbs, honey, cheese, bread, fruits and of course olives. It was a great big platter and delicious. I’d read a review saying no food until the lunch, absolutely not the case for us.

    Next onto the wine tasting with Irena, she was really engaging, knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour. The wines were good and plentiful, again with some olives, tomatoes, bread sticks and cheese.

    Then to the local family run restaurant which was fabulous. Superb host and his young waiter from the village, so welcoming. The food was delicious and loads of it served with a nice house wine.

    Perfect…. With such food and wine on board poor Alexander had to put up with us snoring all the way back !!
    Definitely recommend this trip, do not be put off by the price it is worth every Penny.
