★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 407 reviews · 4 hours · from $106

Explore Chania Old Town with a local guide, tasting Cretan foods, visiting markets, and learning how Venetian and Ottoman culture shaped the city.

“I really waffled between 4 and 5 stars, and landed on 5 because our guide was just SO excellent. Absolutely LOVED Eleni, she was so sweet and informative. The food was not THAT amazing, would've given it 4 stars, but the overall cultural experience and our stops at the knife maker and rug maker and filo maker were such incredible and informative cultural experiences and really pushed it to a 5 star experience. Overall I really recommend this tour, as we tried MANY different foods, good portions, we were definitely not hungry after, and I don't think a different tour could possibly have offered a better experience.”

(Highly embarrassing but we can blame the raki and wine) all that aside, the experience and knowledge you gain is second to none. And the people you meet and the memories you gain will stay with you for a lifetime.”
