Great tour with great food!

The tour was really nice! Especially because it's a private tour so it was just the two of us. They prepared real Cretan food which we had not tried before on the island. It was really delicious! The stories about the farm were really interesting and it was great to learn more about olives. We were so pleased we went on this tour and we highly recommend it

Excellente expérience à vivre. On ressent clairement la passion pour leur terroir. Guide très accueillante et très attentive envers ses "invités", le repas dans le champ d oliviers est un "must" c est une histoire de famille : on se promène dans les cultures de l oncle, la mère et la grand mère sont au fourneau et notre guide nous emmène avec de nombreuses explications en restant très vivantes. À recommander absolument !!!

Response from Host, Jul 2020
