It was great to see the nature and mountains, beaches and to drive myself. My 1,5yr old daughter on the back seat was doing great this journey. So i recommend to do it. Great guide who gave some overview of places and showed the herbs.

The guide was on time to pick us up. The jeep was clean and well maintained. While traveling the beautiful countryside, the guide provided background on any historical sites along with answers to any of our questions. The views were breathtaking and we were allowed to stop and take pictures to remember this once in a lifetime experience. We were also given suggestions on places to eat and visit that only a local would know. You can tell that Discovery Safari is the original provider of tours and has been doing excursions for years. I would recommend this trip to someone who wants a unique and custom experience of Rethymno.
