An very enjoyable evening. Our guide and driver was knowledgeable, engaging and interesting to talk to. Provided info on areas we were passing on way up. Lots on local culture... read more too- interesting facts and history.
Thought has been put into it all - from tastng wines to things to do whilst food is cooking.
Beautiful late evening views from the cookery school across countryside to the coast.
Good company with guests on the tour. A nice activity if you are solo travelling. The food we cooked was good too!
Top tip : Wrap up for evenings as mountain is air cooler.

  We had an amazing time with Nikos and the family that welcomed us into their home!! If you’re looking for a great and authentic experience with Cretan locals, this is... read more your tour. First off, you better come hungry because you’re are going to leave stuffed. This is coming from a couple that loves to eat.

During the tour we received a brief history lesson as we drove out of the city, we fed the family goats, prepared the meals before the family cooked them, had a wine and cheese tasting, received another history lesson and then feasted on the food we prepared with the family. All in all we tasted about 4-5 different wines and had about 7-9 different plates of different dishes. If this family did a different tour, we would’ve booked that tour had we had more time in Crete. Overall amazing experience, would book through them again if we come back to Crete.

  Got to see lovely little villages , stunning views,
on the very safe comfortable drive. Hospitality was amazing with lovely fresh home made breads, beautiful lunch, all accompanied by the... read more local drink raki. Our guide Iannis was very informative and made it a memorable day out.

  Thoroughly recommend this trip. Lovely, relaxing day out with some superb wines, olive oil and food.

  Me and my husband had a most wonderful experience with the real cretin cooking experience. We were picked up close to our hotel by yannis on time and driven to... read more the family house.

There we met the cook, Diamond (sorry forgot how to spell her name in Greek) and her husband Jorge.
We had so much fun cooking healthy vegetable foods, and we learnt new tips and tricks

Yannis is very friendly and full of knowledge about many subjects. We had a tour of the family home, ate cheese and breadsticks. We do not drink wine nor eat meat yet our hosts were so kind to make us feel included every step of the way.

At the end we ate together and enjoyed ourselves especially the family of four from Boston they were hilarious!

Overall u highly recommend this cooking course if you are in crete especially Chania.

  Really nice trip, was more a tasting trip rather than villages though. Stopped at raki distillery, cheese maker and bakery. Lovely lunch included! Be prepared to drink from 11am though

  A superb experience and the highlight of our holiday. Our guide Yiannis arrived on the dot to pick us up from out hotel and did a great job introducing the... read more group of seventeen to one another and breaking the ice.

The mountain location is breathtaking, we loved feeding the goats and sheep and the talk on the families olive production. A good deal of thought has gone into this tour. It’s excellent value for money with quality ingredients and a host of family members ensuring the cooking demonstration goes smoothly. Yiannis is a constant presence, translating, helping out with recipes and bringing the history of the house and the island of Crete to life with his exceptional passion and knowledge.

  We really enjoyed our wine and olive oil tasting experience. Very well organised. Our guide, driver and tasting hosts were all are excellent. Thoroughly recommend going on this tour

  What an interesting and informative trip. Learnt a great deal about olive oil production and the excellent local wines. Confirmed my view that Cretans are both welcoming hosts and... read more enterprising people.
