It was a lot of fun! The bus had AC which was GREAT! The driver was very experienced on the mountain roads. The tour guide was EXCELLENT. Funny and informative. The biggest downside is none of the expenses are actually included in the ticket. You have to pay for the Zeus cave. The first monastery and lunch (great food btw). The cave also has a VERY steep uphill walk. You cannot push a wheelchair up, or if anyone has any disabilities I would not recommend this trip. Any asthma issues, I’d stay behind. They do have donkeys that will take you up for 10€. So if you’re okay with spending that extra money then go for it. The steps in the cave are also very slippery, so do be cautious. I recommend wearing trousers or a skirt that passes your knees, otherwise you have to wear a silly looking apron thing at the monastery that I’m sure is not disinfected between people. Overall I loved this trip. As a 20 year old, it had me taking a nap in the bus at the end of the day I was so tired.

This tour covers so many things, our guide Tania was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything to us while on the bus on the way to each stop. The tasting of Raki and olive oil etc was amazing as was the lunch stop with food to die for! I highly recommend this trip, even as a young traveller it was well worth it.

The cave was fantastic but the rest was not. There was very little to see or do at the two monasteries and they also seemed sick of tours like this so I'm guessing the only reason they this is to collect money from entrance fee. The eco park was decent for kids etc. The tour said 8 hours but it is more like 10hrs for those staying in Heraklion which impacted our plans. Value for money overall was decent.
