Overview

Mobile ticket
This is a private tour with a 7-seater van for a maximum 6 guests.
Chania since the ancient times was a melting pot of civilizations and cultures, each invader and new town resident leaving its mark on history, architecture and culture. Our guides are fluent in English, locals, know this place intimately and love sharing the knowledge.
We will drive around the city and visit various sites for 2 hours, and for 1 hour more you could wander around the picturesque alleys of Chania old town. Will explain the culture and traditions and how they formed the modern day city of Chania. We are not allowed to walk or guide in the old town with travellers, because our license is for a driving tour.
Then we will drive through a scenic gorge to an amazing restaurant and have lunch for 3 hours total. Everything is farm to table, cooked on fire and eating is an experience. Lunch is not included in tour price. We will drive through a road with panoramic view of Chania and Souda bay.

Day visit to Chania

5.00We had an amazing day with George. He customized our day just for us and our interests. He was extremely knowledgeable of Crete and its history. His English was perfect with just the right amount of Greece accent. Be sure to have him take you to his favorite restaurant up in the small mountain village. The lamb dishes were amazing and we got the experience of a small Crete village, with children playing and the slow pace. The restaurant owner was so nice and prices were very reasonable. Make sure to let George order for you, his time time spent in USA and UK, gives him great insight into what we like. Hope your day was as unforgettable as ours. John and Debbie S. From Oklahoma

5.00We decided to do this tour with my family and good friends of ours with our guide George and the whole experience was just fantastic! It was much greater than expected, we enjoyed our drive through the Old Town, we walked and saw all the main sights that George pointed to us and then we went and had a marvellous lunch inside the mountains! I totally recommend!

5.00We did this tour with Petro as a part of our visit in the area of Chania and it was an amazing day trip including a drive and stops in the Old Town and then a marvellous drive inside the mountains with a spectacular lunch at this fantastic countryside restaurant Dounias! Petro was prompt, polite and great to communicate with as he is fluent in English with a Southern accent!

5.00George was our tour guide for this splendid excursion and it was the best by far all throughout our cruise to Greece! A gorgeous and full of history Old Town, starting being inhibited since 3.500bc and then a 5 star lunch at a mountain restaurant! Could not have asked for a better tour than that! Thank you George!
