Review of Crete’s 5-hour quad safari, with mountain trails, monastery, olive mill, Cretan lunch, Malia Palace, and beach swim.

“We joined the Quod Safari tour with visits to the Monastery, Malia Palace, and lunch included, and it was truly a unique experience! Everything was perfectly organized from the very beginning: the guides were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, always happy to answer any questions. The quod ride was super fun, adventurous but always completely safe, with spectacular landscapes along the way. The Monastery is a place of great spirituality and beauty, surrounded by peace and silence. Malia Palace really impressed us with its fascinating history and majestic architecture. Lunch was another highlight: authentic local cuisine, generous and flavorful portions, served in a charming location....”

2.Pena Palace Jeep Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $70Top rated

Review of Sintra’s Pena Palace Jeep Safari, with Pena terraces, Peninha views, Porto wine, snacks, pricing, and practical booking advice.

“It was nice to be able to skip the line at Pena Palace, the tour company will contact through whatsapp about pre-paying for entry tickets- this is legit. We were uncertain at first since it doesn't mention this step when booking. Andres was a personable, fun, knowledgeable guide, laid back and easy to talk to. Very fun, more of an adventurous tour than most! Lots of excitement and we got to see views we otherwise would have missed out on.”
