"Truly enjoyed it and linda was very knowledgeable and I feel I learned a lot during the tour apart from savouring delicious food from Chania."
"This is a great way to see the landscape of Crete in the mountain area of Chania. The first stop is quick but enough time to get a great view/photo, grab a coffee/pastry from the cafe, and see the landmark “Ancient Olive Tree”. The 2nd stop is the primary destination and the whole family (included 3 children ages 7-13) enjoyed learning about the bees, honey, and olive oil. The tasting was great in a picturesque grove of trees with swings for the kids. A great shop to buy some local products, and the guide was great. Our last stop was at the winery and then we wrapped up by early afternoon to still have time for a lovely beach and sunset at our accommodation. Pickup and drop off was super easy with several locations for those without a car - super convenient."
"The whole day was fantastic. Anastasia was knowledgeable and engaging, and the food and wine was delicious."
"We had a great time. The stops along the way to pick up additional guests were not bad and didn’t feel like they added a lot of time. Views were amazing and stops were informative. Definitely a great value!!!"
"It was a beautiful day and we tried so many delicious things. Our tour guide was very nice and pleasant. Would absolutely recommend doing this activity to anyone."
"Absolutely great day. Lovely tour and the guide and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. So glad I did this trip."
