Suzi C02/06/2025 7 Villages The driver was very informative and he told lots about the plants and trees here in Crete, which I liked because I am a florist. Sherry L02/06/2025 Great experience overall Tour guide was great and we loved the mixture of Cretan history, translation, cooking experience, and family history. The view was gorgeous from the place and we met people from 6 other countries on the tour, which was cool. The only things that could have been better are better utensils and more individual responsibility. We did the easy prep only basically. familiademodo02/06/2025 Great excursion! Yannis, our tour guide, was great! Full of energy and knowledge. 3 stops- 1 vineyard, one olive oil/vineyard combo, and one quick stop the oldest olive tree. Would recommend this excursion .
