Nicolas was our guide and provided an exceptional experience for us. The mountainous countryside not far from Chania was like a different world with views, places, people and lovely little gathering places. If you want to experience “real Crete” this is the tour you should book.

Andreas was an excellent host and guide! The only reason this tour didn't get 5 stars is because of the last amazing tour we took on Crete five years ago where we got to have olive oil samples at the olive oil farm, then had tastings at three different wineries and lunch in a quaint town square at an amazing organic restaurant with several different dishes and wine pairings. This tour was fine but could have done better. Andreas deserves a 5 star but the tour itself was only a 3 star.
