Dmitri was fantastic. So educational and friendly. I would highly recommend this experience, especially with him. Food, wine, olive oil, and adventuring was all fantastic. 10/10 would do it again.

Judy_R, Oct 2025
Great tour from beginning to end. Yiannis is a wonderful guide, punctual and knowledgeable of Greek History. He interacted with us and really ensured the group was satisfied. My bestie and I learned much and that is owed to Yiannis. Great experience with the Someliers learning about Olive oil; difference between extra virgin oil and olive oil. Wine tastings were really good. Omg the lunch at Mhaia was excellent and so delicious. Much gratitude to Yiannis.

If you have any interest in food and culture, this trip is a must do. Yiannis was a great guide and driver. Taught us lots about Crete. Olive oil and wine tastings were excellent, as was lunch in a breathtaking mountain setting. Could not recommend it highly enough.

Off the beaten path piece of heaven

Amy_R, Sep 2025
It was a wonderful day of travel. Learned a lot of history and fun facts about Crete. Went places we would never have gone on our own. Bought olive oil and wine from our tastings. Orchard does not ship to America though. Lunch has amazing food. Was also able to ask about recommendations for the rest of our trip as far as beaches, restaurants and other activities, so we would suggest booking this excursion at the front end of your trip. Don’t forget to ask about Greek wedding culture. 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️ Highly recommend this company/trip. Loved our guide. He took very good care of us and our daughter was delighted he knew how to take pictures🤩. He also had a wonderful personality. 🥰. Looking forward to our next trip/booking.

Lovely countryside tour

Richard_L, Sep 2025
This was a highlight of the trip For me believe it or not. On the one hand it was a trip to an olive Grove and a mountaintop restaurant. But, the history and culture you learn and feel throughout the trip is remarkable and memorable. The Milia mountain resort,,restaurant is gorgeous in its rustic charm,,and the meal enjoyed there was in the top three I had of my 2 weeks in Crete, probably the best. Loved it.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Michelle_M, Sep 2025
The tour was very well-paced and each stop felt thoroughly planned. The restaurant offered stunning views and the food was hands down the best food we had during our stay in Crete. It was authentically Cretan. The olive oil tasting was also a standout. We learned so much about the process and the tasting was delicious. Our guide, Vassilis K was exceptionally tentative to our needs. He was incredibly knowledgeable, full of fun facts that kept us entertained throughout the drive. The tour and guide exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Vas K and Viator for an incredible day! The Philly 6

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear guests I would like to thank you for the positive review and the kind words about our services. The company's name is Chania Adventures and we care enough about our guests. Viator is just the broker and care just for their huge commission. They don't offer tours but just web services. I'm very glad that you recognized our efforts and finally you had an incredible day. Warm Regards

Eileen_H, Aug 2025
My wife and I along with our daughter just took this adventure today and would love to highly recommend this to anyone that enjoys most excellent history, food (show up hungry!) and wine and all around great conversation all the while driving to great stops along the way! Our tour guide Yannis was most polite and professional as well as knowledgeable about the tasks at hand. He had a great sense of humor within his stories and we all learned much about this beautiful land of Crete! We all had a lot of laughs and will return soon for other tours this company offers. Many Thanks Yannis!

Joan_B, Jul 2025
We were paired up with a couple from New Jersey . Katie and Alex who were absolutely great. Dimitri our driver was fabulous! He was so well informed about the area we were visiting and made our trip wonderful. Did an olive oil tasting with a wine tasting which was great. After this we went to a country retreat area for lunch which was authentic Greek food and wine. It was absolutely delicious! The entire day was amazing with facts about the area both past and present. Very educational, lots of laughs and fun. Dimitri was fantastic!! Thank you Dimitri !

Nikos arrived promptly to pick us up and explained the itinerary for the day. A well planned and well paced day of visits taking in the ancient olive tree at Vouves wheee we had a choice of coffee or juice. On next to the wine tasting at Anoskeli. We enjoyed several wonderful wines with savoury accompaniments. And then onto Milia mountain retreat for a fantastic lunch. Some great off road travel through the mountains and gorges. Nikos entertained us with stories and Cretan history. Overall a fantastic day and a great way to see more of Crete.

Great!

Jhordane_T, Jul 2025
We had a wonderful time! We loved how private and personable the tour is. There were only 4 of us and a tour guide, Nikos. Nikos was very knowledgeable of everything Crete—from its history, to its food, and even animals. The Milia Mountain Retreat was absolutely beautiful. The food was amazing. The wine and olive oil tour was pretty good. Wine is subjective, depending on your taste, but we loved all the selections that they had. They had a variety of wines—from whites to reds. This is definitely something I would recommend to family and friends who visit Chania. The price is also very reasonable.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Dear guests I would like to thank you for your kind words about the tour and our services as were offered to you, by Nikos. I'm very glad you had a wonderful time and that you found the price reasonable. Talking about the price I would like to inform you that the 90% of the people, book tours from the brokers, as you did. The brokers work with 25-30% of commission. Warm Regards

We were a family of six ranging from 16 to 82. Nik was an exceptional tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable about Crete and the local area. The trip to the wine and olive oil tasting was fantastic along with visiting the oldest olive tree which was spiritual. We had a wonderful drive to Mila with exquisite food. Would highly recommend for those wanting to appreciate the Cretan culture.

Can’t miss Chania experience!

Deborah_H, Jun 2025
Wonderful experience. Vasileios, our host, took us on a stunningly beautiful ride along mountain roads, stopping to taste wine and olive oil, view the 3000 year old olive tree, and culminating with a lavish feast at Milia Restaurant. Our wild ride included a spontaneous off road trip to pick fruit and commune with nature, and honey tasting on the return drive. Vasileios was friendly, VERY knowledgeable, and funny. Cannot recommend enough!

Saylor_B, Jun 2025
My friends and I had the most enjoyable time on our tour. Our tour guide, Nick, was such a gentleman, very knowledgeable of local history, and we shared many laughs. The olive oil, wines, and lunch were incredible and highly authentic. The views were unreal, and off-roading through the Cretan countryside was such a fun experience. We loved that this is a family owned business, and we would HIGHLY recommend.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Wine and olive oil tasting Milia

Joanne_S, Apr 2025
First off, our guide Yiannis was amazing. He was very informative on the region and all the areas we went to. He was very enjoyable and the tour would not have been the same without him. The olive oil and wine tasting were incredible, but the highlight was lunch at Milia’s retreat in the mountains. The food was amazing and the setting and scenery were wonderful. Highly recommend this experience if you are coming to Crete! We do however wish our guide could have joined us during our lunch and refreshments so we could continue our conversations, ask questions and be with a local from the region. Thank you Yiannis!! Joanne & Susan

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Joanne & Susan I would like to thank you for your positive review and your kind words and I'm very glad you had an enjoyable day under Yiannis care.

That's our goal as a company. Warm Regards

Excellent tour and a great way to see and experience parts of Crete we wouldn't otherwise have had the opportunity to! The olive oil and wine tasting was an excellent experience, and lunch at the Milia Mountain Retreat was delicious. The car tour through the area around Chania was also great with some stunning views. Nasos was a fantastic guide and provided very interesting information along the way. Would highly recommend this tour!

We had a fantastic time on our tour with Demetrius. We loved seeing the Olive Tree of Vouves, the Anoskeli winery was great, and Milia Mountain retreat had a great atmosphere and great food. We loved that the tour was small (only us and another couple) and we loved learning about the history of the area. We highly recommend this and would definitely do this again!

Delightful day in Crete

Theresa_S, Oct 2024
We had a delightful time on this excursion. There were just four of us on this tour--my husband and I and two others--so it was very personal. This was our first time in Crete, so seeing the olive trees--from the 3000+ year old tree, to the miles and miles of olive groves was very interesting. And the lunch at the Milia Mountain Restaurant was outstanding. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to spend a day near the port of Souda near the city of Chania.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear guests I would like to thank you for your kind words and the positive review. We offer tour in small groups, up to 6 people per vehicle and all of them are personalized and well designed as you recognized. I'm very glad you had a delightful day with Dimitris. Warm Regards
