  • Outstanding experience of traditional Crete

    My family and I (5 adults) recently went on this experience on August 27th and, I can safely say, it was exceptional. Yannis and his wife were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable about Crete, the culture, and the food. You could tell they genuinely loved showing us the beautiful sights and food of the island. They were forthcoming about sharing about their life and what it is like to live there in addition to being curious about your own. They picked the most amazing traditional food places with the best views and all five of us said we had the best time. If you can, book this tour it will really give you a great traditional feel of the island of Crete, from the views, to the food, to its people.

  • Fantastic Greek food

    Yannis took us to several very authentic Greek tavernas for a great selection of traditional food. We also visited a small monastery that used to house a olive mill and then got to see a working olive oil press. We had great time learning about Cretan food, history, and mythology. The drive through the countryside was very enjoyable.

  • Fantastic way to see some...

    Fantastic way to see some picturesque Cretan villages (that we never would have found on our own). Food was awesome as was the company & conversation with Yannis. Highly recommended!

  • Amazing local Cretan cuisine, lovely destinations and great company!

    The gastronomy tour was a wonderful experience and Yannis, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We visited various local gems, outside of the touristy areas that we would have never found on our own and were warmly welcomed at each stop. The food and wine was outstanding and our guide made us feel like old friends. I wouldn’t change a thing but make sure to bring your appetite!
