Small-group Crete tour with Knossos Palace, wine and olive oil tastings, and a traditional lunch with wine. Easy pickup, great value.
“This was an amazing experience. We loved our guide Antonis. Because he was native to this area he was able to add a ton of context to all the different stops on the tour. Knossos was amazing as we had anticipated but I think the highlight may have been our lunch at the taverna. The food was some of the best we’ve had on our trip. The wine tour was also very tasty and in a beautiful part of Crete. Would recommend 1000%”

Join a 2.5-hour wine tasting walking tour in Old Town Chania, with lighthouse views, Cretan snacks, and bottles to take home.
“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!”

“Geweldige ervaring. Vriendelijk onthaald. We konden het niet vinden, maar na een belletje was het gelukt. Toen rondleiding op het terrein en daarna naar de wijngaard. George heeft ons alles verteld over de wijnen en de omgeving. Vriendelijk en zo veel passie met liefde. Totaal ontspannen sfeer, geen enkele haast.”
