Walked into this tour office casually early one morning with nothing planned for Crete (due to being tired having just arrived from 3 weeks of island hoping with lots planned). Zoe was great providing a plethora of ideas. Yannis arrived to fill in the gaps, negotiate price and provide the finishing touches with lots of detailed explanations. Ended up booking: Cooking Class, Trips to Falassarna beach, Elafonisi beach and hiking in Samaria. Due to heat wave and crowds switched Elafonsi to another day at Falassarna and Samaria gorge was closed so switched to imbros gorge. In conclusion this office was fantastic and communicated with us throughout the week - we asked for changes along the way and they did everything to accommodate. All their descriptions were accurate. We loved the cooking class, beach was gorgeous and hike well worth - we will need to come back for Samaria one day. Highly recommend these tours and this office in particular.

Our guided hike through Samaria Gorge was incredible. It is wonderful to have a guide along the way to explain the history of the region and navigate the hike and the steps after- Elia was an excellent hiking guide and the hike was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! And to have a driver take you exactly to the hiking point and pick you up from the ferry with water waiting to quickly beat the queue made everything so convenient and luxe- Giannis was a pro and very knowledgeable on the history of the island. Absolutely exceptional service and worth every penny- this is a MUST DO experience!

This is the best beach I have ever visited. The water is clear and warm and just a wonderful environment. Great for kids and adults. One area kids would play in the water and sand that is only 3 inches deep and protected by sand. Nice drink and snack choices. Tour guide was great and stopped at a cave and also a local olive oil stand for honey and raki as well

We had a fabulous trip with Spiros and driver Yanna from CHANIA to the sites of Polyrinia and Falasarna and the beach afterwards. Spiros is passionate about history, articulate, attentive to questions, informed and fun. Yanna is a safe and attentive driver, easy to talk with, interested in everything and helpful with restaurant and museum recommendations. We had an excellent day, —

We used this tour company for a carpe diem Crete day with our group of friends. They are super responsive and professional and helped us plot out our day. At the core, we needed to get from Elounda to Chania. Maria picked us up at hotel #1, took us to Knossos (where they retained a solid private guide) and then we had lunch/wine tasting at their recommended Dourakis winery (also lovely). It was a perfect vacation day. Maria was very kind and a safe driver.
They also helped us do a boat day from Chania all around the southwest/west portion of the island - that experience was also a 10/10.

My family went on a custom tour that went from our hotel to the Kanakis Olive Mill, to the Dourakis Winery, to a small house at the top of a nearby hill for a cooking class in traditional Greek foods.
Our driver, Bobby (hopefully spelt right) was very polite and extremely knowledgeable about the entirety of Cretan history. He guided us through everything perfectly and also showed us an interesting double church built out of the natural rock in a small, remote village, providing us with interesting facts the entire way. The cooking class was taught by a family which had an extensive history of their own, and Bobby translated for us and helped us through the entire thing, and you could tell that the family was very fond of him. I cannot recommend this enough, particularly if you are interested in Cretan history.

Yanos made this one of the best tours I've ever been on. Knowledgeable, animated, and entertaining. Teaching us about all the local little details that'd you'd never get to know without his expertise. All done with a flair and passion for the history and culture that he shared, unforgettable.

Yanis gave us an amazing tour of Arkadi Monastery, some nearby archaeological sites, and the village of Margarites including an amazing lunch. All the sites were amazing but honestly Yanis was the best part of the tour for us. He was very laid back, extremely knowledgeable, and did an amazing job ensuring everyone stayed comfortable and happy. I’d happily go on any tour as long as he was the guide!

I highly recommend the tour. Under Guide told us in great detail about the fight in Crete. It is a pity that this is not mentioned in the German history books.
We thank you very much for the wonderful time and look forward to the next time

Vielen Dank für Ihre herzliche Empfehlung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour gefallen hat und dass unser Guide Ihnen interessante Einblicke in den Kampf auf Kreta geben konnte. Es ist schade, dass solche wichtigen historischen Ereignisse nicht immer in den deutschen Geschichtsbüchern erwähnt werden, und wir sind froh, dass wir Ihnen diese Geschichte näherbringen konnten.
Wir bedanken uns ebenfalls für Ihre netten Worte und freuen uns darauf, Sie beim nächsten Mal wieder begrüßen zu dürfen. Bis bald!

Coming in on a cruise ship on Friday, October 20th.. looking for a cooking tour for about 10 to 16 people but it would have to start earlier in the day as we have to be back on the boat by 5. Is that possible?

Hi there!
Could you please let me know how long is the Crete Wine and Olive Oil Tour? A couple of hours or full day?
Also, if we are a group of 12 people can we still book this tour?
Thanks!
