How you help the local community by joining this tour: - You visit villages far from mass tourism and collaborate with the locals, supporting these small communities financially. - By sampling products that originate from the Cretan countryside, you promote 100% local, family-owned businesses such as a local cheese monger and a local botanist. - You visit a local family in their home where you learn about local products and traditional cooking techniques as you participate in a hands-on cooking class.

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides a tip – though not compulsory – is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour.

    Rebecca and her team at Grecian Lux did a fantastic job. They planned every detail for us. I can't imagine going to Greece without using their expertise. Their knowledge and connections made our trip perfect. I highly recommend using them to book your Greece trip!

    We had the perfect day with Yiannis. Planning was easy with Rebecca (although the pick up location was changed at the last minute). Once our guide arrived with a comfortable van that fit our family of 6, we had the perfect day. First, the guide was incredible. He engaged all three generations of our family with ease and was so knowledgeable and fun to be around. We enjoyed all the visits on the tour and ate incredibly well. It was the perfect day and we highly recommend booking with Grecian Luxe, a company that clearly has high standards for its guides and guests.
