“A very comfortable Range Rover picked us up on time. We had just a small group (4 others plus 2 of us) which made the whole experience better. Our driver and guide Dimitris is incredibly knowledgeable, providing insights on our surroundings on the journey, the places we visited and in general chatted to the group all day. The wine and olive oil tasting venue was a great start to the experience. We had a reserved table filled with delicious snacks. The olive oil and wine selection were described pleasantly. We purchased both wine and olive oil - we thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality. The highlight of…”

“This tour is absolutely amazing. We got picked up by Vicellis, I hope I spelled it right, and he was on time and a smile on his face. He was awesome. He immediately gave us waters and drove us into town to see some sites. Then we picked up another couple and went to the olive oil tree farm and had coffee. A beautiful cafe with a huge grape vine for shade like beer garden. Coffee was awesome. Then he took us to a winery and olive oil farm. The wine was awesome and the olive oil is out of this world. Now I know why Crete is one of…”

“What a fantastic day! Christine & Fanasis took a great care about me and my family! It was a private whole day trip with everything included: drinks, snack box and a beach equipment. We could visit stunning Elafonisi and Falasarna beach. The last stop was by the oldest Olive Tree and the Olive Oil factory with a small museum. We learned a lot about the olive oil production how it used to be made. As it was only a private tour we could make stops whenever we wanted what was very helpful. Christine and Fanasis are amazing tour guides with a great sense of humor and we all had plenty…”

“This was my favorite day in Greece! We met such amazing people, each stop was fascinating and it was an honor to see the beautiful things they made. We especially loved the ceramics, as we got to meet the woman that made them and she spoke about how her family has been doing it for generations. The monestary was also fascinating, and I’m so glad we got to go. Our tour guide was wonderful, very relaxed, kind and knowledgeable. I’d certainly go on anouther tour with him again! He went out of his way to stop and find us an extra suit case (since we bought so much stuff we…”
