Had a wonderful experience on this tour, great history, food and company. We drove an hour from Chania for this and definitely thought it was worth it!

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Vincent was an excellent guide/ translator and the warm hearted host Reveka a natural cook. We felt lucky to be part of the experience and the memories will remain a highlight of the trip. FYI We were a family group of 3 generations. Communication with Amelie at EcoEvents was faultless and Vincent collected us from our hotel and nothing was too much trouble. His knowledge of Cretan culture is extensive and I would definitely book with the Company again.

Nora was a warm, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. We loved learning about the process of making olive oil, and loved tasting the beautiful products. The producers were so proud of their product and had a lot of knowledge to share. The wines were delicious and the winery is a gorgeous place to spend some hours. The penultimate stop was a restaurant in a little village, the food was outstanding and the family that operates the restaurant are incredibly warm and inviting. The conversation throughout the day was free-ranging and we were able to learn a lot about Crete and the culture here. We would recommend a tour with this guide and this company to anyone.

Excellent tour with a fantastic guide Nora. She was super knowledgeable and made us feel very welcomed. The olive oil factory and the winery were remarkable! The only reason I am not giving a 5 star review is because of the surprise 50euros for hotel pick up. The website indicated you will be charged the fee only if your hotel is more than 10km from pick up point in Rethymno but no mention of where the pick up point is. Once I confirmed the trip and it stated we will be picked up at the hotel I assumed that there was no fee as is the case with every single trip I booked through TripAdvisor. It was not until the near end of the trip that we were told there is a charge. If I had known that, we would have drove to a designated pick up location as we had a car. Please state clearly where the pick up location will be to avoid a pick up fee in the future.

It was a perfect day with perfect guide Vincent. We enjoyed it all the way. Very well organized trip. Thank you so much for making out day special👍

Such a delightful tour! Vincent was a fabulous, knowledgeable guide. We had a lovely time and learned a lot about olive oil making, wines, and the history and culture of Crete. Our tour was topped off with an incredibly delicious lunch at a hidden gem in the mountains. We highly recommend this tour!

Vincent gave our family a day to remember forever. We were promptly picked up at the hotel and didn't have to think about a thing. He was very outgoing and knowledgeable. We learned all about the olive oil process and tasted different varieties. All we had to do was relax and enjoy. Vincent felt like a part of our group, seamlessly leading us on our journey. During the wine tasting, we discovered the intricacies of the wine farm and their specialties in wine and food pairing. Later, we savored a delicious, authentic Cretan lunch at a hidden gem of a taverna in the mountains. You will not regret taking this tour.

This tour was so incredible! We opted for the private tour with a pickup and drop off at our hotel. Our tour guide Michael (Mixalis) was great!! He was so knowledgeable of Cretan and Greek history and we learned so much on the tour. He also made it so much fun for us and it felt like we were traveling around the island with our friend. The olive at the olive mill was delicious and we got to taste some Raki as well. The winery was stunning and the wine was also so good. Our final stop was lunch in a village at the base of some mountains with some beautiful views. It was overall a wonderful day and we definitely HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Crete!

Definitely a highlight of our trip. Vincent was very knowledgeable about the local area and was very entertaining. Rebecca was also wonderful and it was super awesome to get to have some of her homemade raki and baked goods during the class. The food was excellent and it was a very fun time. Highly recommend!

Lots of pottery shops - each one seems to have it's own style, so visit them all. Some are tacky, some are whacky, some are upmarket Three had working potters to watch Prices vary from shop to shop Also good to find restaurant - we ate at Taverna Vernada

We had a lovely trip with Michael, who was completely charming and a young American couple it was really friendly and relaxed. The Olive Oil factory was really interesting, nice products to taste and buy, we had a coffee in the cafe before heading off to the wine tasting which was set in a really beautiful winery, stunning views of the hills. The five wines were delicious, and there was no pressure at any time to buy. Lastly, we went to a great family run restaurant called Ippokoronio in the village Nipos.  The food all grown and sourced locally was really excellent and washed down with more wine and raki. My partner and I had a really lovely day, and the trip was worth every penny.

Michael was an excellent guide around the town. He is extremely friendly and well spoken. Definitely worth the time if you want a taste of Old Town. 5/5.

The experience was wonderful however for the cost paid we expected at least better Wine and wine while preparing. If you go take your own wi e because the first batch is good but then it goes way down after that.

This has been genuinely the best day of our holiday in Crete. From start to finish the day was amazing and Maria was a fanatic guide. If you want to experience some genuine and authentic Cretan culture, food and wine then this is the trip for you. Maria was so knowledgable, friendly and fun and made the day for us all. Highly recommend this, you won’t be disappointed.

The tour was really interesting and we learnt a great deal about the local cuisine. The food was delicious. Our host Vincent was very knowledgable and polite. I highly recommend the tour.
