Amazing Day Tour in Chania

5.00It 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.
Absolutely recommend

5.00Nikos 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
Fun day touring the countryside

Ultimate Food Tour of Chania- AMAZING

5.00This 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!!!!!
You must do this tour with Maria!

5.00The 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!
Wonderful Cretan experience

5.00Nikos 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!

5.00Alexander 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.
