Description

Relish the beauty of Chania and all its ancient treasures with the electric Trikke vehicle. Check off the top sights of the old town with this private, 75 minutes tour. Hop aboard your easy-to-ride, three-wheeled Trikke, and zip between showstopper sights — from the famous jewel of Chania, the Lighthouse, to the narrowest streets of the old town. Enjoy frequent stops to take photos and benefit from your own private escort’s undivided attention and personalized commentary.

Meet your escort in the centre of the old town at your preferred chosen start time. Then, enjoy a safety briefing and training on your Trikke. Put on your helmet and practice on your three-wheeled, electric vehicle! It’s fun and easy to ride. Once you feel comfortable, follow your escort around, and enjoy several stops for photos as you tour around the sites.

Enjoy riding through the flower-decorated neighbourhoods, and pass through ancient landscapes and monuments like the Minoan Kydonia ruins, Byzantine Walls and the Venetian buildings. Admire the Arsenals (Dry docks), the Yali Mosque and the Grand Arsenal. Finish off by feeling the old town’s heartbeat passing through Topanas, Kasteli and Colombo’s neighbourhoods.

Trikke vehicles

For privacy reasons we cannot provide you with advance details on your traveling companions. However, our tours appeal to a wide range of travellers, most of whom share an adventurous spirit and a desire to experience these destinations at a grass-roots level. Our tours are conducted in English and so they attract many travellers from North America, UK, Australia and Europe

The availability listed on our website is updated every minute however on some tours we must confirm arrangements with our people on the ground, a process which usually takes no more than 24 hours. When you book online you will receive a follow-up email confirming your arrangements or a timeframe for when they will be confirmed.

The security that comes from knowing your trip is locked-in is a feeling that can’t be topped. We like that feeling – so much, so that we figured everyone should have it.

Every departure is guaranteed to run. Yup, all of them. Once you’ve booked and paid, that’s it, you’re going. Guaranteed. Your trip won’t be cancelled by us for any reason (beyond harsh weather or safety issues). Promise.

All documentation is sent electronically by email. Shortly after we receive your payment we will send you your initial documents. Final documentation will be sent by email no later than two days prior to the departure.

Yes, all of our Tour Managers and Tour Drivers speak English, some speak additional languages as well, but your tour will be conducted in English

As you can expect some landmarks take more time to get to on coach tours and some are more time-consuming than others. With this in mind, we have no set time for the exploration of each attraction. Our tour guides are trained to watch how their group progresses at each landmark and they adjust each tour accordingly. You should keep in mind that some tours cover three landmarks over a single day, so there are a limited number of hours in which to do a lot of sightseeing. Consequently, you may not have an extensive amount of time to spend at each attraction.

You could lose your seat to a walk-up passenger. We encourage you to arrive at the pickup point a minimum of 15 minutes before departure. Once on the tour, your guide or driver will give you a time that the coach will depart each location. You must be at the coach at least five minutes before this time. If you are late and miss the time given, the coach will depart without you in order to not keep the other passengers waiting. If you are in any doubt about a departure time whilst on your tour, you must ask the guide or driver.

Any items we find on our coaches are taken to our office at Episkopou Chrysanthou 37 str. Chania old town and are kept there for 72 hours before being destroyed or given to charity. Please call our office on +30 28210 43243 for any lost items.

5 days before the tour starts –> 50% refund, no refunds after that
