“We absolutely loved our tour with George! He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and we could feel the passion and pride he has for Crete. Knossos Palace was very busy (to be expected) but it was manageable. The family-owned vineyard was lovely, and it was fascinating to see how olive oil is produced. The family-owned local restaurant provided one of best meals we’ve had during our stay in Greece. It was intimate and the food was so fresh. We didn’t feel rushed at all during the tour. Instead, we felt immersed and relaxed! We would strongly recommend this tour to anyone who would like a small sample of all that…”

We visited two family run wineries including an organic winery and olive farm. Antonis had also picked a wonderful lunch in a small village restaurant where the owner served us the best home made Cretan food I have ever tasted in a friendly atmosphere. The scenery of the countryside is lovely. I highly recommend this tour.”
