Jam packed experiences and knowledge - This is a jam packed day out full of experiences, fun and learning. We sampled the local oil and olives, travelled to Spinalonga on a speed boat, walked the streets of those trapped on the island in the early 1900’s, climbed and explored Milatos cave and then finished with a local taverna meal of high quality. All of this was fantastic and our thanks goes out to Petra, not only did she guide us with expertise she also was happy to share with us her own Grecian knowledge and wisdom which was both interesting and insightful. Petra is very professional and a true star. Highly recommended.

Excellent day - Having 2 autistic daughters, we were careful which trips we booked and even then, we were questioning how well they'd manage. We really shouldn't have worried because our driver, Michael, was absolutely amazing. He interacted just enough with the girls without them feeling uncomfortable and was so incredibly knowledgeable about pretty much anything and everything, as well as being so easy to get along with. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day and all really genuinely enjoyed spending the day with Michael. The trip was just perfect, with a perfect mix of driving and seeing and doing things. The speedboat to Spinalonga was good fun and nice to not have to wait to go by a big boat. The stop for lunch was at a lovely taverna and the food was amazing. The girls, who are very hard to feed and usually wont try anything new, both tried some new food and really enjoyed it too. We would absolutely recommend Adventure Crete, the trip and Michael. Thank you for making our first day in Crete amazing.

A Memorable Day in Crete! - Our heartfelt gratitude to Michael! As a family of 5, with children aged 16, 14, and 11, we relished our inaugural visit to Crete. Michael expertly gauged our varying preferences and energies. The private speedboat to Spinalonga was an incredible bonus, and the authentic lunch with a great host was truly memorable. Michael's proficiency made the day extraordinary. We highly recommend him!

Great overview of Crete's landscapes. - You can see a lot of Crete's landscape: islands, hilly interior, caves and olive "forests". It's a great trip to get an overview what Crete is about.

Spinalonga views - We had Petra as our guide for the 2nd excursion in a row from Adventure Crete. It was a good day and the Spinalonga Island tour was quite interesting and beautiful views from the top. Milatos cave was ok and you won't be missing out on much if you didn't visit it, but the scenic drive was nice.

Great experience with amazing views - Thomas was a very knowledgeable tour guide and answered all of our questions with confidence. He engaged the surroundings with our tour and stopped when we requested. He was considerate to our needs such as bathroom breaks and water. The stops on the tour itself did not disappoint. We would recommend this tour, especially with Thomas as a guide, to anyone!

Price-performance ratio is not right - This tour is purely sightseeing. We imagined it to be something different.
Overall, it is still far too expensive. For example, entry to Spinalonga is not included in the price. You then explore the island on your own. Swimming stops are not planned either.
The story of the Milatos Cave was told in just one sentence and incorrectly at that.
The lunch, however, was great! That is the only reason it gets 3 and not just 2 stars.
