• 5Fantastic sunset tour....

  This was the most amazing experience from beginning to end booked through Cretan Tours. Our guide Hans was amazing.... Very knowledgeable and very accommodating. The village tour and then sunset experience was fantastic also the meal in a local Village taverna at the end of the night was incredible. Food and wine was delicious and plentiful. This experience was worth every penny as we paid 84 euros each and would recommend this to everyone. Very moving and spiritual experience watching the sunset on a beautiful evening in Crete.... Overall five star complete luxurious evening.

• 5Wonderful way to see Crete & Enjoy a beautiful sunset

  Wow what an experience! Getting picked up in an old fashioned original Land Rover and taken through the Cretan hills before on top of a beautiful sunset spot. Chance to meet some of the locals including Lucy the hill goat, and finished off with a lovely dinner at a local Greek taverna. If you are lucky enough to get Michael as your guide you’re in for a treat. Great knowledge of the area, fantastic driver and even better DJ… mixing music to the experience and road type as you ascend the mountains. Great value for money and great way to spend an evening!!

• 5amazing experience for everyone

  It was an amazing experience, really worth your money. Our guide Michael was really funny and told us interesting things about the tour in a fun non-boring way. He also played some nice songs in the car. We went to a local farmer, through some small towns, went to the dam, … At the sunset location the views were breathtaking and you could enjoy it with some prosecco and fruits. On the way back you get a nice dinner at a taverna (included in the price), and you can also go to a little souvenir shop. The way back you can see the coastline and city lights in the dark. The offroad parts throughout the trip were also really fun. My boyfriend and me really loved this trip and would recommend it.

  What a wonderful experience we had this evening, led by our guide, Dimitri, who shared fascinating insights about the stunning landscape of Crete. We explored the countryside, visited a small goat farm where we were warmly welcomed by the friendly locals, discovered centuries-old churches, and, of course, admired the olive groves that are so characteristic of Greece. As we slowly climbed to an altitude of over 1,000 meters, we were surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature and witnessed a truly spectacular sunset. Thank you, Dimitri, for this unforgettable experience!
