We took this tour, my husband and I, plus another couple. It was a fantastic tour. Yannis was so nice, knowledgeable. He took us out to small villages in Crete which was great way to see more than Chania. We had 2 large meals, coffee, visited a monastery. We were supposed to go for ice cream also, but we ran late, plus we couldn’t have ate another bite. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off. The only negatives are, I wish he had a larger car. Luckily we are not huge people because there was the 4 of us plus him in a sedan. Being only 5 feet tall, I sat in the middle on “the hump” for the whole trip. I larger vehicle would have been more comfortable. Also, we went to two restaurants where he ordered multiple items for us to try. We truly appreciated trying all the different foods, but I think he should set up with the restaurants to give smaller portions. We felt we wasted so much food, which none of us like to do. But we literally couldn’t eat any more.

Nice tour guide, great food! Saw several villages around Chania. Meeting place was a bit out of the way, but it worked out.

Possibly the best way to learn about a culture is to experience the food. Even better if it's away from the larger populations and fancy restaurants. I had an amazing day exploring parts of Crete I would not have otherwise discovered alone -- with much to learn from the amazing guide, Yannis. I was quite fortunate to be solo on this tour with Yannis -- outstanding person, who I now consider a friend. He will also gladly offer to take many photos of you and your surroundings with your phone :) Regarding the food and drink -- you'll love every bite and wish your stomach was bigger!

Yiannis was very nice and accommodating. The company on our small group tour were great. The scenery and stops were informative and lovely. There was just too much food! We had lunch at a small taverna. An hour later we had dinner at another taverna. Both were excellent though. A thoroughly enjoyable experience!
