We've been using the jeep safari since the early 2000s, and I'm always amazed at how this team, with Gijs, Loise, and Taina, shows you a different side of the island. You're not only drawn into that part of nature, but also into the mountain villages, their inhabitants, and their culture. I have no doubt that if you're even remotely interested in Cretan nature and culture, the jeep safari will have piqued your curiosity about Crete and all the possibilities it has to offer. Finally, thank you Gijs for your lecture about olive oil production, one of Crete's riches, and thank you George for the delicious lunch with local vegetables at the 'Τρεις πηγές' (the three wells)

We had a fabulous experience with Eye-Travel on both a sunset safari and a hike. The cars may be old, but their people and the experience they provide is 5⭐️. Special shout out to the whole team for their knowledge and cheerfulness. I can't recommend them enough!

Challenging hike through some beautiful landscapes I really enjoyed this trip. As we only booked it the day before we were due to go, there was a mix up with the collection from our hotel and the coach didn't turn up at the agreed time. We called the tour operator and they sent a taxi immediately to collect us and catch up with the coach further down the line. These things happen, but the operator responded very quickly and got us on our way which was appreciated.

Spinalonga, Olive Oil Factory and other interesting places We had a wonderful day with our guide Gijs. He was an excellent tour guide, very friendly and we learned lots of interesting things. We loved Spinalonga (Gijs took care of the formalities and accompanied us on the boat each way) and the Olive Oil Tour but we also had a very enjoyable day trip being driven through different villages. We would highly recommend the trip. Thank you.
