  • The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews.

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.

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

    The guide was amazing. We went as a German couple and the hole group was German. Everybody was very friendly. The guide speaks very well German and answered all our questions. Before we get started, he told us, who to reak if we have a problem and that's made me feel safer, because I knew, if I don't get the hill, he will get me up there.
    The views were amazing. We didn't see much from Crete before, but after we knew a lot about nice spots. Driving by myself was amazing. It just coud have be more Offroad than just the first 2h (about). It was a nice opportunity to see the south side and the hills between. We stayed on the north side.

    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.

    WOW what a fantastic experience. For the price we were picked up from our hotel at 8am, given a brilliant guided tour of some beautiful areas on the quad bikes getting the chance to enjoy the caves and beach. To finish the quad bike experience we were given a choice of a vegetarian,chicken or pork lunch finally dropped off about 15.30

    For me a 60 something very overweight bloke this was challenging and maybe a bit too challenging but I did it and it's super impressive. It is hard work and the difficulty can detract from the experience if you not young or fit.

    For us, this was a perfect tour. We loved being able to get out of the city and see the panoramic views of the sea, mountains and valleys with the help of the ever attentive and informative Stavros. While we did see several sites (Zeus’ Cave, oldest tree in Crete, Windmills, etc.) for us the scenic beauty was the chief attraction. Plus we loved the small group (only 4), safe driving, fabulous lunch of traditional Cretan food, small villages and our gregarious host, Stavros.

    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!

    This trip involves three stops - cave, beach and village visits. While all three were terrific, the description is incomplete. The cave involves walking up 250+ stairs. This was fine for most of our group, but our 80 year old could not climb them. The beach is pretty, but very crowded. We couldn't rent chairs and a umbrella because they ran out before we got there. During the village trip, you could either eat dinner or explore the village, not both.
    The tour company did everything they promised - transportation and a guide. I just wish we would have had more info before we selected them.

    This is a must adventure! Our guide, Michael, was excellent. He provided a lot of historical and mythological info/stories of the locations. He provided guidance with safety in mind, on how to navigate climbing the boulders. Lunch at the local taverna was delicious. Off-roading is fun. Would definitely recommend. Ask for Michael for your guide!
