Great scenery! Great people! Such a beautiful surrounding, while preparing food with 10 fellow cruise guests! The skilled, personable cooks were so much help and fun!! Fed goats…were taught about olive trees and olive oil. Highly recommend!!
Nikos our driver / guide was funny, informative and had us laughing at his cracks. Small group of 8 people made it lively. Took us to Chania villages, sampled cretan snacks/ cheese/ raki and topped the experience with a fabulous taverna lunch. Great experience to do in Chania
It was an amazing journey for all of us. Alex was our driver and guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and courteous. His vast experience in the tourism and real estate industry and extensive knowledge of the region combined to produce an unforgettable experience for our family of 5. We were never hurried and had the opportunity to experience the local culture and cuisine in the most leisurely manner. I would recommend any travellers coming to Chania to have this wonderful experience.
Nikos our tour guide and driver was very informative and friendly. We got to experience traditional Cretan culture, all of the stops were brilliant but my favourite was the olive oil mill and the distillery. Refreshing to go on a trip where you aren’t pressured to purchase products we chose to purchase some cheese and oils both of which were very reasonably priced not the typical tourist trap prices
Nikos was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide! We loved the tastings- olive oil, honey, vinegar, cheese, yogurt, raki, bread and then a fabulous lunch.
Fun and informative day. Loved the cheese factory tour and tasting, the bakery visit and lunch was delicious. Learned lots of history too!
This trip has been absolutely incredible. We took part in the Ultimate Food Tour of Chania, which took us through charming villages where we sampled authentic local dishes. One of the highlights was visiting a traditional cheese factory, where we learned how some of Crete’s most popular cheeses are made. We also explored an olive oil press and got a firsthand look at the fascinating process of turning freshly harvested olives into oil. Additionally, we stopped at a village distillery where local spirits are crafted. The tour happened to fall on my birthday, May 27th, and our amazing guide, Alex, went above and beyond to make it special. He let the restaurant know it was my birthday, and they surprised me with a dessert topped with a candle, it was such a thoughtful touch!! I highly recommend this tour and booking agency for anyone traveling to Greece. The drivers were punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. A perfect 10/10 experience!!!!!
Our guide Maria was both our driver and guide. She was professional, super knowledgeable, helpful and fun. She knew everything and made our experience very memorable!
The food tour took us through some beautiful countryside and introduced us to some artisans that take great pride in what they do with olives, raki, bread, and cheese. Our driver Stefanos was very professional but also warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have a bad knee and so he went out of his way to get us as close to the sights as possible. It was a great experience!
Nikos was a great guide who provided plenty of information about Cretan history, customs, and the many local products. We visited an olive oil mill, a raki distillery, cheese factory, bakery, and a tavern that served a delicious meal. It was a great experience with fresh ingredients and beautiful sights. Be prepared to drink raki!
We spent a wonderful day with Thanassi driving around Chania for photography & food. It was delightful. Thanassi had wonderful stories & history about the area & the people. A great way to see Crete & learn about its people & culture
Alexander is an excellent driver, courteous and a pleasure to be around as he familiarized us with the basics of Cretan history and current political topics. Yanna is delightful, knowledgeable and enjoys sharing the history and culture along with her own thoughts about various subjects we enjoyed discussing with her. The trip involves short visits to local village cheese, olive oil, Rika distillery, and biscuit shops in the countryside. It’s very good if you want to get away from the crowds of touristy type places.
Babis out tour guide was amazing, he was very knowledge of all the areas as well as the history. I would highly recommend this company and tour. We have been on many tours in many locations and this is by far the best we have been on.
A wonderful day out. We learned so much, and our guide, Giannis was amazing! He is also a brilliant driver- i would not have felt comfortable driving through those narrow streets.Highly recommended!
Our guide, forgive me i don’t remember his name, was so kind and knowledgeable and polite! Each stop we met more people just like him. Olive oil factory, distillery, cheese factory, bakery and then lunch and each spot was beyond generous with their time and the portions. Highly recommend as we got to see Crete and learn along the way. My husband and i love learning about other cultures.
We had a great time preparing the food. Even our adult children, who didn’t want to go enjoyed the preping, drinking wine and tasting the fruits of their labor.
My mom and I had a wonderful time with Thanassios - his love for Crete shines through his stories and gestures. The food tastings were phenomenal and knowing the origin story made the dishes even tastier! Thank you for sharing your warmth and love for Crete on this tour!!
Fantastic tour. Our tour guide, Thannasi, was insightful, funny, and a great story teller. If you want to see a part of Crete you wouldn’t be able to on your own, take this trip!
The two of us ended up on a private tour with Yannis. You stop at the raki, olive oil, cheese factory and a bakery and receive tastings. Guide also made a stop into a beautiful church built into the mountain. The lunch was in a little local town and the meal was served by a wonderful lady. We would recommend this tour.,
We had a really great experience!!!!!! Our tour guide, Andreas was an absolute star, making our experience even greater!!! Every event on the tour was really well planned. Fully recommended!!!
