Quad ATV Safari from Georgioupolis Area

19.08.2024 We had a wonderful experience with our top-notch young guide. We were personally picked up and then there was an instruction and the adventure went. We were allowed to experience the landscape of Crete, were in a small village in a tavern with a breathtaking view as well as a guided tour of an old olive oil factory, then we were in a modern factory including olive oil tasting. A very interesting insight with very nice and hospitable staff. The whole tour was completely successful, even in an emergency they acted professionally. The guide has made this tour something special, we would recommend this tour 100%! It was a very nice birthday for me, thank you very much :) Michael & Nastja from Germany

Tolles Erlebnis, was ich jedem nur ans Herz legen kann. Schöne Tour mit on- und off-road Strecken und schönen und interessanten Stops. Wir saßen das erste mal auf einem Quad und fühlten uns dank der Einweisung direkt sicher.

The people who run this tour were very thorough with their safety checks which is reassuring. They were also very friendly, entertaining and helpful. After the initial checks (drivers licenses for the on-road part of the tour are required) and briefing we were given a hair net to go under our helmets for sanitation purposes then we were told which number quad bike we were allocated. They gave us all very clear instructions on how to safely start-up and shut off the bikes as well as the basic handling of the bikes. One by one they watched us start up the bike and got us to drive on a small circular track slowly then at speed to ensure we could safely navigate the bikes. They then lined us up ready to depart, putting those without quad experience at the front of the line so the leader could keep a closer eye on them. The first hour starts us off nice and easy with some on road driving followed by a taster track or two to assess how well we handle the bikes going over rocky terrain. If they have any concerns about your driving they will confiscate your bike immediately and put you on the back with someone else or on the leaders bike. Unfortunately this happened to me. I was told to drive faster once we off roaded so the leader could keep an eye on us. I explained that I'd slowed down just initially so I could get to grips with handling the bike as it bounced over rocks and drifted a bit. He was having none of this, perhaps because they are on a tight schedule. I attempted to go faster to keep up but as a result I veered into a hedge and was made to abandon my quad without a second chance. I still had a fun time riding on my partner's bike but do wish I'd gotten a proper chance to get the hang of it. The quad bikes were in good working order and went at a good speed. The olive oil mill, village shop and cafe as well as olive oil factory talk were very interesting and informative and all in all it was a great way to see the local landscape whilst having fun. We even got a shot of raki/orange juice at the end of the tour which I thought was a nice touch.
