Wonderful experience. Stella is so knowledgeable and she combines a history lesson with a delicious food tour around the old town. She accommodated our food preferences graciously.

We very much enjoyed learning more about Greek food from Stella. And the history of Crete. We tried several things we may not have otherwise. Eat modestly at each stop so that you can enjoy the included lunch!

We had to use google translate to read the inscription on the statue. It was right across the street from where our cruise ship shuttle dropped us off. Stella was a doll. She gave us history of Crete throughout the entire tour. We went to places I would not have thought to go if we were on our own. The food was delicious. It was definitely more than I could eat. We had a great group on our tour. I would definitely recommend you book with Stella. We had a great time.
