Top Crete Wine Tasting Tours - page 7

We had a beautiful time at the tasting and enjoyed great Cretan foods. Heads up that the drive on the mountains can give you car sickness so you might want to bring dramamine or something for motion sickness. Otherwise the tour guide was incredibly accommodating letting me sit in the front, and had plenty of cold water available through the trip. He even helped me with baby wipes to clean myself up. Super embarrassing but he was very kind, understanding, empathetic, and got off to the side of the road both times I asked. Despite the motion sickness I would still highly recommend this tour!

A wonderful experience! Our driver Tony was great and friendly and picked us up right on time. The first thing we did was the soap factory, which we loved. Very interesting process to learn about and they gave us a generous free gift of soap at the end. Then we went to the olive oil tour, which was also lovely. Neat to see the trees and learn about the process and taste the olive oil. We also liked the pairings at the end with the balsamic vinegar and the grape syrup, etc. very tasty. The wine and raki was very enjoyable, as well, and really cool to see their old machines as well as the huge squash they had out front! Wine was very delicious. We saw other reviews before we booked about wine not being proper temperatures and not plentiful but we were happy with it, and when we requested a little more of the one we liked (the red -delicious!) they were happy to supply another taste :) The raki was also good. A little snack of cucumber, olives, and crusty bread with tomato was also supplied. Lastly we visited the taverna for lunch, which also served more wine and raki as well as a nice meal! We were very happy to be accommodated for as vegans :) thank you! And thank you for a great Crete excursion, we feel this was a must do experience for Crete.

Lovely people, clear instructions and a fun morning out. We all liked it a lot. Some of us hadn't been on quads before but the trip was tailored so it was doable but not too scary. Doing 40kph on roads and then over some dirt tracks across the countryside for some variety.
