This is an exceptional all day tour. Our tour guide Yinnas was entertaining and informative. The scenery up to Milia was beautiful. Buckle your seat belts as the 4 wheel drive up a very bumpy mountain road was quite an experience. The wine and olive oil factory tour was lovely as was the wonderful lunch once we reached Milia. This is a tour not to miss.

Was very enjoyable and informative. The tastings and food were very tasty. However the vehicle for 6 people and the driver was very cramped for a 8 hour tour.
Dear guests I would like to thank you for your positive review and the kind words about our services. I would like to inform the future customers that we use the biggests 7 seater SUV in Europe, Land Rover Discovery. We don't offer tours with mini buses but adventurous tours exploring a part of the mainland and the mountains. For normal weight people the vehicles are very comfortable. For a few people it's more challenging.Warm Regards

Dear guests I would like to thank you for the positive review and I'm verey glad you had a woderful day with our comapny and Yiannis as your driver/host. Warm Regards
We had a beautiful time at the tasting and enjoyed great Cretan foods. Heads up that the drive on the mountains can give you car sickness so you might want to bring dramamine or something for motion sickness. Otherwise the tour guide was incredibly accommodating letting me sit in the front, and had plenty of cold water available through the trip. He even helped me with baby wipes to clean myself up. Super embarrassing but he was very kind, understanding, empathetic, and got off to the side of the road both times I asked. Despite the motion sickness I would still highly recommend this tour!
Dear guests It was the 2nd tour with our company and I'm very glad you liked our services. More than the 98% of the people don't have car sickness. We drive slowly letting our guests to enjoy the view arround. Probably you are in the 2% and it wasn't because of Nickolas driving skills. It's very important to inform the future customers about it, otherwise they will believe that the route is very difficult. It is not difficult, but the people who know that they have car sickness have to do a preparation about it. Warm Regards
This tour is a great way to see the mountains and areas that are no easily accessible, we visited the ancient olive tree, tasted delicious olive oil and wine and had a great lunch at Milia Mountain resort. We also stopped for a local honey tasting, our guide Yannis was excellent and very knowledgeable about the island and had great suggestions for activities!
Dear guests I would like to thank you for the positive review and the kind words about our company's services. I'm very glad you had a gread day. Warm Regards
