“We had an amazing experience with Michael on our tour of Rethmyno. The weather didn’t exactly cooperate during our tour, but Michael was unflappable and found an additional stop for us to take to escape the fast forming rain shower that flooded the streets. Our tour was intentionally kept small, which was appreciated, as it provided a more personalized experience. The tour description was spot on, but we found out that the tour is constantly evolving based on feedback to further improve the customer experience. We appreciated the small town and small business feel with the tour and loved that all of the locals seemed to know Michael. We would…”

We loved all the sources she gave us and she found wonderful photo opportunities. It was a fascinating review of the history, culture, and artisans of this area. We hope to be able to come back for a much longer stay next time and I know Sophia will have more to teach us. The filo making demonstration was absolutely a must for any “foodies”. We ate delicious food along the way and there was never any pressure.…”

“One of the best wine tours we’ve been on. Anastasia was fantastic - funny and passionate teaching us about the history of the wines and Greece without getting too into the details. The walk helped us get our bearings around Chania too. Every place provided snacks which paired great with the wines - they even accommodated my gluten free dietary restriction. Absolutely fantastic - highly recommend!”
