Crete: Olive Oil, Soap, Wine, Raki - Flavorful Culinary Journey

William_M, Mar 2026

We had an incredible...

We had an incredible experience exploring Heraklion with Yanni & Aggeliki. From start to finish, they brought a perfect blend of knowledge, warmth, and genuine care that made the entire day unforgettable. Their deep understanding of the history, culture, and hidden gems of the area truly elevated the experience—they didn’t just guide us, they brought each place to life with stories and insights we never would have discovered on our own. What stood out most was how kind, attentive, and accommodating they were. They made sure every detail was taken care of and tailored the experience so our whole family could fully enjoy it at our own pace. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and truly care about creating meaningful moments for their guests. If you’re visiting Heraklion and want a tour that feels personal, engaging, and memorable, we can’t recommend Yanni & Aggeliki enough.

What a GREAT day on a beautiful island. George was fabulous! A week there would be better!

Thank you George for a GREAT day! The downtown of Chania was better than we ever thought as were the shops you brought us to run by 4th generation family. The scenery, the ruins, the love of your town that you gave to us was priceless. Do not miss this tour with George!

BEST tour in all of Greece! MUST-DO Tour in Crete!!

We joined many tours during our trip to Greece (almost one every day) and I can honestly say this was the BEST experience. No other tour even comes close. Stavros is an outstanding guide: a true local who knows the history and culture of Crete inside and out. He’s easygoing, fun, and kept the energy high throughout the day. He took us to fascinating spots, including hidden gems that only locals know about. Along the way, we enjoyed tastings of local olive oil, fresh strawberries and tomatoes, authentic Greek yogurt with honey, and wrapped up the day with a delicious meal at a local eatery. The whole experience felt genuine, immersive, and truly captured the “real Crete.” It’s a full-day tour, but one you’ll wish would never end. I HIGHLY recommend doing this tour if you are in Crete. You will have a lifetime of memories and will not regret it!

PRIVATE Walking Tour with Lunch and Wine Tasting by a Sommelier

Terry_O, Sep 2025

Perfect Day in Chania

Fabulous afternoon in a perfect picturesque town. Got a taste of everything in Chania. Started with morning coffee with an incredible view of the city. The wine tasting was informative and the wines were very good. The walk around the old harbour was perfect. Then we had lunch, but calling it lunch is an understatement. The amount of food was twice what we could eat. We had six dishes of local cuisine and all were fabulous. We finished with another stroll then a ride back to the cruise ship. All on time with zero stress. The town was packed with tourists and yet our guide made ways to make it very personal and private. We didn’t feel the crush of the crowds at all. I recommend this tour to everyone. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I would just make sure not to eat breakfast that morning. The amount of food was amazing.

One of our best...

One of our best snorkeling adventures. We went to 3 different spots and saw varieties of fish, urchins, sponge, eel. Adriana was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable when asked about marine life. She and Kostas, the boat captain were very supportive for non-swimmer like me and made sure I was all right and comfortable in the water.

Wine & Olive Oil Tour with lunch at the White Mountains

Andrew_S, Aug 2025

Crete awesome experiance

This tour is absolutely amazing. We got picked up by Vicellis, I hope I spelled it right, and he was on time and a smile on his face. He was awesome. He immediately gave us waters and drove us into town to see some sites. Then we picked up another couple and went to the olive oil tree farm and had coffee. A beautiful cafe with a huge grape vine for shade like beer garden. Coffee was awesome. Then he took us to a winery and olive oil farm. The wine was awesome and the olive oil is out of this world. Now I know why Crete is one of the best olive oil producers. We tried many wines and with some snacks. Then we proceeded to a lunch spot that was one of the best views I have ever seen. You eat overlooking a gorge in the white mountains. The Greek food was amazing. Vicellis took very good care of us. He taught us some bee facts but every step of the way was first class. He got us back to the boat no issues and we had a blast. One of the best tours we have taken. Money well spent on this one. If your in Crete this is a must!!

Amazing Experience !!!!!!!!

The communication was amazing!!! We received timely answers to any concerns about pickup time and returning to the cruise on time. The pickup from the cruise was on time, and the van was lovely and comfortable for our party. The dock welcomed us with a beautiful, clean, and spacious boat. George was an amazing host who welcomed us and inquired about the sites we wanted to see. The food was top-notch, and it was traditional Greek food. We were given wine and beer, which was amazing! At each site we stopped at, we never felt rushed. The boat was supplied with an array of floaties, which made the time in the water fun. Overall, this excursion is beyond worth it and felt luxurious.
