          This is a must do for everyone visiting Rethymno
          Absolutely the best food tour I’ve ever experienced! Our guide, Maria, made it truly unforgettable. Her knowledge of the local cuisine and culture was incredible, and she shared stories and insights that brought each dish to life. Maria’s enthusiasm was infectious, and she expertly guided us through a variety of stops, each one offering unique flavors and culinary traditions. From start to finish, the tour was perfectly organized, allowing us to savor each bite without feeling rushed. Maria went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and answered all our questions with warmth and expertise. Whether you’re a local foodie or a first-time visitor, this tour is a must-do, and Maria is the guide who will make it all come alive! Highly recommend!

          Amazing tour
          Maria was an excellent guide. Her experience and knowledge made our adventure fun and interactive. She took us to three amazing local restaurant/bar and recommended amazing Creten dishes. She took us to local historical sites and incorporated that into the culinary experience. We also stopped by a Phyllo bakery to see how phyllo was made. We did not walk away hungry. Highly recommended.

          Great walking tour of beautiful Rethymno
          We had a great tour with Vincent who despite us being the only people who booked on the day still ran the tour. The tour is excellent and you get to learn a lot of the history as well as tasting the local food and drink. We had a great day and would have no hesitation recommending this tour to anyone spending a day in Rethymno!

          Fun filled day in Rethymno with wonderful guides
          My extended family of 12 (ages 2 to 76) did the family treasure hunt and walking gastronomy tour of Rethymno. There were 5 kids ages 2,3,6,8, and 11. Maria and Costas were such warm, friendly, knowledgeable and wonderful guides. They were able to seamless keep both the little kids and the adults entertained for our whole tour. We made some stops to try authentic Raki, Honey and Olive Oil, watch Phyllo pastry being made by hand, eat some Cretan cheese pie and our final stop was a multi course, amazing lunch in a beautiful garden restaurant. Costas is also an archeologist and had a deep knowledge of history and culture in the area. Maria engaged and charmed our kids with a pirate treasure hunt and Greek mythological tales over lunch. We highly recommend this tour for a fun and delicious day with the family. Thank you to Maria and Costas!

          Canyoning in Kourtaliatiko Gorge - AMAZING EXPERIENCE with ECO EVENTS!
          We had an amazing experience with Nick, Giorg and Barbara! Our canyoning adventure in Kourtaliotiko Gorge was great from beginning to end! We meet the guides at the prescribed meeting point in Koxare and the proceeded together to the gorge! We were fitted for our wetsuits and then put through our orientation and safety briefing! We then proceeded to the first of two repels with some cliffs jumps mixed in! The crew was very fun and very attentive! Photos are taken along the way and shared with us afterwards! This was an amazing experience and one that we’ll not soon forget! The gorge is simply beautiful to see and to repel and swim amongst this beauty was second to none! A must do for those who are visiting the area! ❤️ 🇬🇷

          Wonderful cooking experience
          Me and my family (6 adults and 2 children) had a wonderful time at a beautiful garden to have Greek cooking lessons with the hosts Vincent and Rebecca. In the evening Vincent picked us up at our apartment and brought us back safely. For several courses we got the ingredients and with the help of Vincent and Rebecca we made and ate a delicious dinner, together with Raki and wine. Vincent gave us also tips for the rest of our stay at Crete. We booked it through Eco Events and I want to thank especially Amelie who arranged this lovely experience for us.

          A real joy and utterly delicious
          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.

          Would do it 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.

          Good trip but watch out for pick up fee
          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.
