This full day 4x4 tour is for designed especially for adventures. You'll journey along dirt roads, mountain passes and through Crete's charming villages as you explore the island's hidden gems and vast panoramic scenery.

We'll get stuck straight in with an off-road drive through the rocky mountains of Lefka Ori in western Crete, where winding mountain roads snake their way through immense gorges, plateaus, bubbling rivers and sleepy villages. You'll also stop off at a typical village kafenio – café – for an insight into local life.

There's then a break for a typical lunch box. All the way, you'll experience Crete at its purest as you bump down dirt roads and bounce over rocky tracks. We'll drive to photo stops with some of the best views over the island – a real day of exploration.

Genuinely, and thoroughly, enjoyed this experience 100%; cost was very acceptable. Superb service from our driver [Harri - think the spelling's correct!!] from start to finish. Very knowledgeable indeed. Best part of the day was the brilliant "off road" experience. Love these "rugged" excursions. Only drawback [not a criticism but an observation], have a couple of less attendees: more comfort, and I would have willingly accepted a higher cost for this. Appreciate its a business / profit etc

Opas oli loistava, mielummin kuitenkin haluaisin suomeksi. Kauniit maisemat ja mahdollisuus kuvata. Ruokailussa joutui odottelemaan ja ruuassa oli vain perunaa, lihaa ja salaattia, maku kyllä hyvä. Retken hinta suhteessa liian kallis.

Was best leuk, gids kon veel vertellen over Kreta. We hadden gelukkig niet de Ierse gids die de andere auto bestuurde, want die was echt slecht te verstaan.

It was a great trip and Louise our guide made the trip very interesting and fun. However this was advertised as a full day trip which it certainly wasn't as we were picked up at 9am and back by 3pm which included driving around for drop offs at the end of the trip. There was no time to fully explore places we stopped, lunch was rushed with no time to explore the village due to tight time constraints. Previously TUI day trips we've been on have been 8.30/9am until 5.30/6pm, a full day.

Food and views were amazing. Driver was funny and informative

Experience was great, bit of an overcast day (which can't be helped) but overall a good experience.
