My wife and I had the most incredible tour experiencing Cretan olive oil, wine, raki, and pottery with Spyros. He was personable, knowledgeable, fun, and went above and beyond to deliver a memorable day. Along the tour he would make stops to pick herbs off the roadside to share more about the rich agriculture with us! He even brought along birthday candles and a personalized cake for my wife’s birthday - truly special. We highly recommend Spyros and Tours in Heraklion!

A Truly Special Tour of Crete

Response from Host, Jul 2025

It's so nice to read such a great review Jacob. It was our pleasure to have you in a Wine Tasting Tour and adding some sweet moments in your wife's birthday. We appreciate recommending Tours in Heraklion to the community and Spyros as a tour guide. Hope you'll give us the opportunity to host you back again in the future. Best wishes from all of us!

Highly recommended tour of the area!

Our tour guide, Spyros, was an excellent guide! He toured us around Heraklion where we visited a family owned winery and rali producer and olive oil production facility. We learned a lot about the local production and consumption of all food. While we did visit during the low season (Dec), there was a chance that stone places were closed, like the pottery business. While we were disappointed, we still enjoyed the tour and the accommodations that Spyros provided. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you very much for your kind words about wine tasting tour. We really appreciate your feedback and we would love to have you back in another of our tours in Crete. Warmest wishes from Crete!

Amazing

Melissa_G, Sep 2024

This was an amazing day-trip! We loved every stop on the tour but most especially Domaine Paterianakis. This is a woman-owned (sisters) and operated winery with the most impeccable attention to detail. Additionally, our tour guide Spyros had such lovely energy and was so passionate about telling us about Crete. The most incredible part....in the booking notes it asked if there were any dietary restrictions and I wrote: No, but it is my sister's birthday! Tours in Heraklion arranged for a surprise cake to be delivered at the wineries and it was such a lovely moment for my sister! We Were both surprised and truly touched. We would 100% recommend this tour to anyone...we even got a chance to learn from a master potter!! We will definitely be utilizing their services again!

Fantastic Day!

Megan_L, Dec 2023

Spyros was a fantastic tour guide! We had the best day in Crete and weren't ready to leave the wonderful island our people we met that day. Spyros went above and beyond any other tour guide we had on the trip, he really enjoys his job and Crete and brought us that energy. We would 100% recommend a tour with him, we hope to see him again next time we visit Crete. He made sure that even things that weren't on our itinerary but on our must see list we got to see and he stopped to get us olive oil and lunch.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Excellent Tour!!

Lorenc_K, Feb 2023

Spending a week on holiday in Crete Island I would say that the two days me and my wife made a tour with Tours in Heraklion, were the best days. We booked a Wine tasting tour through Viator and booked also a private tour, Knossos Palace and Lasithi Plateau, through Tours in Heraklion, both tours were excellent, informative and very funny. A lot to see and enjoy. For sure if we ever visit Crete Island again, definitely will make another tour with Tours in Heraklion. Thank you guys! Definitely recommend
