A fantastic day, organisation without fault, guide super, gorge spectacular. Coach was air conditioned which was a god send at the end of the day as the last 3km of the walk was hot beyond anything I've experienced (although from the UK so not a high bar!), really well driven on some very mountainous roads. Guide gave just the right amount of information and some interesting facts during the coach journey without overdoing it. Available without being in in your face, basicly you make your own way down while she swept up any stragglers to ensure every makes the ferry. The gorge is spectacular and I would recommend to anyone interested. It is nearly all down hill but it is rough ground. I wore trainers which I would not recommend if you have hiking boots (I did not bring them to Crete), by the end the soles of my feet were suffering from the rough ground. It is also very hot, especally the last 3km from the National Park exit to the ferry. It's tough but very much worth the effort, time and cost.

Reviews: From Chania: Lake Kournas & Argiroupoli Springs Guided Tour
Guest User2026-09-25
The trip was excellent. Five stars wouldn't be enough. Even though we don't like organized trips in large groups, I recommend this one. It was more like a trip with friends. Nicole is incredibly kind, friendly, and always smiling. She took great care of her guests. We saw more than we expected, and everything took place in a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere. Thanks also to the driver, who navigated the mountain windings as gently as possible.

It was absolutely fantastic! The guide was really nice and the horses looked very well cared for. The little café was perfect for relaxing after the ride. I highly recommend it!

Reviews: Day Trip To Heraklion City Center & Market & CretAquarium
Guest User2026-10-16
I was completely satisfied, git on wrong coach, messaged office they told me where to get off and picked me up 10 mins later, I can't comment on trip much as we had atrocious weather (wind and torrential rain) but I went to museum in Heraklion which is stunning, and my driver and guide went above and beyond.

Embark on an exploration journey to the South Coast of Crete via a picturesque route from the North while absorb the best of Cretan culture from visiting one of the best olive oil factories, villages, forests and experience a genuine Cretan active lifestyle mini-hike in a beautiful gorge. Panos our dedicated tour guide was outstanding in terms of safety and knowledge of every detail that we saw. Our journey began with great view points nearby Eludna into the Marbella bay followed by authentic village experience in Kristi and another town covered in lovely colored doors and mulberry trees. We learned alot about the fauna that grows on Crete. We also visited great villages and I shopped handmade tablecloths while met senior Cretan villagers who were kind and always bid you adieu with a smile. We continued our journey to the forest followed by lunch in one of the best mountain village restaurants in Crete. We then did a wuick hike followed by ending the trip in a strikingly blue beach! Panos is definately one of the most experienced and pleasurable guides that I have seen in my decades of travelling. This os well worth every minute and highly recommended for those that want a real exciting Cretan one day excursion.
