What are people saying about Crete

Alice_T, Jun 2026

Enjoyable excursion - book it!

We booked this tour at the last minute and we're so glad we did! Pick-up was easy, as we received a WhatsApp message the night before, confirming pick-up time, location and car reg number. It was a small group tour and there were two other couples in the minivan and they were friendly and we had a really good day after we all broke the ice and got chatting. The visit to the artisan soap factory, Helleo was really enjoyable. Thomas welcomed us and explained how they make soap. Such a lovely place. This was followed by a tour of Politakis Olive Oil Mill Experience. We were shown olive oil trees, machinery, photos and videos, which explained the process of making olive oil. This was followed by olive oil tasting: three oils which were then also mixed with balsamic vinegar. We really enjoyed this and then bought some gifts from their store. We then visited the family-owned winery and we're shown around by the lovely owner. We then enjoyed a tasting of three wines. Chatting with the other guests made this very enjoyable. After this, we went for a fantastic, late large lunch at a local restaurant. Overall, this is one of the best tours I've ever been on. The driver didn't bombard us with lots of facts, which is good as we could relax. Book and enjoy a relaxing day, chatting with other travellers.

The Best Day in Greece.

Hands down - this was everyone's favorite day of our two-week trip in Greece. We were lucky to have near perfect weather to enjoy the trip on, but the boat ride was lovely, we had plenty of time at both stops, and swimming in the Mediterranean will never be forgotten. Thank you!

Gastronomy tour and wine tasting in traditional villages

Chloe_M, Jun 2026

Incredible food & company

We had such a wonderful day on this tour. So much passion and knowledge was shared and we loved his stories. It was so much really good food so we appreciated the encouragement to box it up and take it with us. We ended up eating it cold at our hotel for dinner and how you know the food is good is when it’s good cold a few hours later! I highly recommend.

Wine & Olive Oil Tour with Lunch at Milia Mountain Retreat

Emmy_M, May 2026

Beautiful tour and tasting

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!

Lovely people, clear...

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.

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!

Great day!

My husband and had a wonderful day driving the countryside to two wonderful wineries. Areti was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Having worked at a winery for 5 years, she did a great job of choosing and describing wines. The wine pairing lunch at the second winery was delicious and ample!

Cheese and Wine Tasting Tour From Chania

Anne_K, Oct 2025

Fabulous well packed day!

A really pleasant and informative day about the island, its food, its history, its olive trees and bees. We learned so much! Our guide was dynamic and super friendly. It felt like we did loads in a few hours: visit the world’s oldest olive trees, the bakery, the cheese factory, the bee keeping place, the olive oil factory, the tasting, and the winery and wine tasting! So much was packed in one day. Great value for money. You’ll need cash for the bakery but everywhere else accepts cards. Super super day!

Manousakis Winery Shuttle Service Tour and Taste

Jennifer_C, Oct 2025

Excellent value for money

The driver, Anastazio, was very engaging and told us a lot about the island and its history. The winery tour is short but interesting. However the wine tasting is an hour and a half sat at a table on the patio, which is a gorgeous location. You get 5 wines to taste with an explanation of each. There is the option to buy food, such as a charcuterie plate or a full lunch, and extra glasses of wine if you wish. All in it’s a 4 hour trip.

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.

Crete Adventure Tour

First time experiencing another country, and the time we spent on this tour was worth every cent! Nikolas, the name of our guide, proved to be knowledgeable, funny, and most importantly sincere when speaking to us. We were treated with the utmost respect and were laughing and learning throughout the entire excursion. It was a personal, first hand look into the local culture that you can’t get on your own! Do not miss out on what Crete has to offer in this tour, highly recommend!
