Fascinating tour with SunSud hosted by George

Inta_A, Aug 2026

Our family spent a lovely day on private tour hosted by George of SunSud tour company. The entire day was perfectly organized, never felt rush and allowed us admire the beauty of surroundings while listening to George about the history of the region in engaging and informative manner. We enjoyed several stops on our way to Chania. The first stop was a beautiful viewpoint above Rethymno where George shared information about the historical periods of the city. We all including our children enjoyed the next stop at Kanakis Olive Mill where we were guided through the factory and shared explanation on the oil producing processes, then tasting olive oil and other local products. Afterward we drve along the bay admiring views of Gulf of Souda. We have a short stop at the Allied Cemetery where we paid our respect to the soldiers who fell in May 1941. One of the favorite stops was the Trinity Monastery of Tzagarolon where we were toured by George listening to fascinating stories. Later on we enjoyed a special wine tasting accompanied by a selection of traditional products at the monastery's old cellar. At Chania city we were guided through the picturesque harbor and explored the charm of Old town concluded by lunch at Antigoni Tavern enjoying sea view. If you are looking for very welcome, well-planned and enjoyable tour to Chania, we highly recommend SunSud hosted by George. Thank you for unforgettable day in Crete.

Amazing Crete Tour with an Outstanding Guide!

Mehul_P, Aug 2026

Amazing one-day tour from Heraklion to Chania Old Town and some of Crete’s top sights! Everything was well organized, enjoyable, and a great way to experience the beauty of the island. George, our tour operator, was absolutely amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the day. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Crete!

Heraklion to Chania with George

Our driver George was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and willing to answer any questions. Very accommodating about making an extra stop to the oldest oil tree in Chania! Highly recommend George a d this excursion!

An experience not to be missed!

It’s been a great experience traveling with George! He is very knowledgeable about the history of places we visit and provided very good advice on the itinerary. At planning stage, George has already been very helpful and responsive to enquiries. Absolutely recommend if you need an expert to take you around!!!

Well worth the trip!

Unfortunately we had the worst weather day for this tour but we made the most of it. George came prepared with 2 umbrellas for us which was awesome or else we would have been soaked. George was very knowledgeable and nice. It was a long drive but well worth it to see Chania and Rethymnon because we know when we come back we are definitely staying in that area versus Herculion. I would highly recommend this tour to see a whole new area and have a great tour guide with George.
