  The best thing about this tour was Yannis our guide. He was very professional and being ex special forces himself he was a font of information. He also had... read more a good sense of humor.
We enjoyed the time spent at all of the historical sites which gave us an incite about the actual battles as if you were actually there & Yannis added a locals perspective on how the Cretan people were effected.

A stop at a collectors house was maybe tad too long but very interesting & you couldn't fault the passion & enthusiasm in which the collector viewed his war collection.

All in all a very enjoyable experience. So thank you Yannis for for making our day a very pleasant experience.

  This was a wonderful activity! From the pleasant and safe bus ride and fun dinner preparations, it was fun from start to finish.

I would highly recommend this experience!!

  We had a delicious vegetarian dinner, including greek salad, dolmas, stuffed squash flowers, stuffed peppers, zucchinis, and tomatoes, tzatziki, dakas, and cheese pies. In between preparing the meal, we... read more fed the goats and sheep and tasted three greek wines - one of which was a fifty year old wine straight from the barrel. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable.

  We had a disappointing experience on this tour, and my husband and I were surprised to see so many positive reviews on TripAdvisor.

The tour lasted 6.5... read more hours, from 830am when we were picked up in Chania until about 3pm when we were dropped off. For 75% of the tour, we drove through the villages in silence. The guide (who was also driving) said almost nothing about where we were or the locations’ significance. At one point, my husband and I agreed that we wished we had brought headphones to listen to music.

The museum and distillery were interesting. That said, the distillery tour consisted of 10-15 minutes of explanation, followed by 20 minutes of being served three rounds of Raki at 10:45am. There were lots of jokes made by the guides about getting drunk early in the day.

The “cheese factory” was a very small building where no one from the factory spoke to us. We did not see some of the cheese-related things pictured here on TripAdvisor. Of course, the employees are probably busy. But we learned very little about cheese, in maybe 5 minutes of explanation from our driver/guide, and then we were left outside to spend 20 minutes by ourselves trying two cheeses and a yogurt. The time was mostly spent sitting around making small talk with our fellow travelers.

The “bakery” was (as shown to us) one room with a grocery where a woman was working on bread. Again, no one really acknowledged us, and we learned very little about baking in Crete. We were again left to spend 20 minutes trying bread outside, and more Raki.

The amphitheater visit was unremarkable. It is not historic; it is a replica. Again, we learned very little and then got back on the bus.

The lunch was tasty. But the guide/driver did not sit with us or tell us very much about the food. We did not, as at least some online descriptions of this tour suggest, meet any locals to learn about their culture or their food.

  We started our excursion with Niko our driver, he was an encyclopedia with regards to Cretan history, he was just amazing! Once there we got to learn about Greek cooking... read more preparing our meal with an amazing chef,then we all sat together and got to taste all our prepared dishes. With this excursion, you get transportation, meal and wine tasting with cheeses and of course amazing olives! This excursion was well worth it, the hosts were so nice and friendly and of course the atmosphere was unbelievable in a Greek warm setting! Bravo to all of our hosts!
We recommend this excursion!
