Ready to unleash your inner hero? On this Crete 4x4 treasure hunt, you'll help Minos free the legendary Minotaur from his labyrinth by solving clues, completing challenges and racking up points as a team. It's part myth, part mission and all-round good fun, with a playful twist on Greek legend.

You'll follow a secret route through Crete's mountain landscapes, stopping to soak up sweeping views and unearth fun facts about the island's history, wildlife and wild herbs. Expect interactive tasks, creative thinking and a few surprises along the way.

It's not just about winning, it's about the challenges you'll solve along the way. Learn about life in Crete, bond with your team and round off the adventure with lunch at a traditional taverna. Fresh air, fab food and a story to tell? That's our kind of day out.

Really enjoyed this trip, staff, experience, food a must if you want a bit of an adventure! Driving your own 4 x 4 up the mountains felt like doing an episode of the Grand Tour! ????

A must do trip if you want to really explore. The tour takes you right up to the top of the mountains driving off road. The views are out of this world. The roads are winding but you feel very safe. The tour guides are great. You visit an olive oil factory and shop, a unknown cave and a beach to cool off at the end! Only downside is lunch is very basic - huge chicken legs and wedges but the kids meals are perfect - nuggets and chips! Overall would recommend

A great family day out and a chance to see the real Crete.. Traveling in convoy, along some windy remote roads, gave a sense of security. Taki the guide was very informative and approachable. The route is very uneven at times and you need a head for heights as you drive up the mountain. Top tip - don’t wear white!! You will come back very dusty!

We weren’t told at booking that one of us should drive so that needs to be made clearer. But what a trip! If you only do one on Crete it has to be this one! You get to see so many aspects of the island, some of which you would never see otherwise. The guide Taki was so knowledgeable and friendly, it really was a perfect day thank you.

Taki the main guide was very friendly and informative.The whole experIence was great,especially driving the jeeps.The cave experience was probably the weakest part but overall I would recommend it as a fun day out

Didn't really know what to expect, but on arrival at the compound everything was explained perfectly. Tour guide was so professional, we were immediately put at ease. Set off in a 16 car convoy which turned out to be one of our best days out ever. We see so much. Mountain tops spectacular scenery. Lunch was simple food but prepared and tasted amazing. We visited some caves, and all the time getting a full professional guide to explain everything. This trip is a must.
