Wonderful walking tour with Christos and had a lovely small group as well. Food was delicious and the timing worked really well.A must for all foodies. Christos, our guide, was knowledgable and enthusiastic about Crete and it's food .We tasted things we'd never have found ourselves from the producers themselves, just delicious. A great way to explore a new place when on holiday.

As “foodies” we never miss a chance to include a food tour in a new location. Most are alright. Some aren’t very impressive and feel a little canned. That’s not the case for this tour.

If you are looking for a great food tour, this is your ticket. As “foodies” we never miss a chance to include a food tour in a new location. Most are alright. Some aren’t very impressive and feel a little canned. That’s not the case for this tour. Bring an appetite to this tour - you won’t leave hungry. Christos presented us with one of the most well-orchestrated food tours we’ve ever been on. Every stop was it’s own adventure and Christos has every item arranged with the several cafes we visited. None of the locations were tourist stops but instead a cadre of shops frequented by locals with the highest standards of food and drinks. Even better, Christos was able to make modifications to suit our tastes as we moved along. I would relate the highlights but honestly every stop was great. Based on our experience this is easily one of the best food tours we’ve every taken taken. Outstanding doesn’t do justice as an evaluation.All of the stops on the tour were amazing, loved trying all the local food and learning about the islands herb and tea industry. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job interacting with everyone on the tour.
