Chania: Evening Feasts A Journey through Cretan Flavors Food Tour

I would take this tour again and again!

We booked "Chania: Evening Feasts A Journey through Cretan Flavors Food Tour" and there are NOT enough "ten out of ten's" to give it! Kostas was our guide and he led us through a 4+ hour tour of the city with knowledge, passion, and professionalism! DO NOT show up hungry! You will enjoy the tastes of the Chania and discover hidden gems in the form of shops and markets that do not disappoint! I would take this tour again and again!

Get to Know Crete With George!!

We went on this private tour as a family and enjoyed every minute. George was very polite and answered our endless questions about his culture, family life, and the island he grew up on. He was flexible with our schedule and accommodating when we asked for slight changes to the program and timing. We would recommend this experience, and it left us wanting to return to Crete to experience more of this beautiful island!

great experience, must do.

My family ended up taking this tour on our vacation to Crete, and it absolutely was a highlight! Kostas went above and beyond to give our group the best time. He was very knowledgeable, and the food was excellent and diverse. He was so personable, connecting us to other families in our group so that we could all get to know each other. It made for the perfect evening and environment. Our family will be talking about this for a long time!

Organised and efficient

They picked us up in an air conditioned bus. Driver was good with all the winding roads up and down the mountain. Bus was full. Gave us enough time at the beach (4 hrs) & the 2 stops before and after.

A Wonderful Food Tour

We had a fabulous, well paced tour with Elena at Cretan Tasty Trails. Elena has a delightful, warm personality, who speaks perfect English and who knows Chania and the Cretan food scene like the back of her hand. She took us to half a dozen bakeries, cafes, specialty food stores, including a wonderful Cretan cheese shop, and to a delightful restaurant for lunch where we had more Cretan specialties. All in all, it was a wonderful time, very informative, and with lots of memories.

Worth the trip

If you don't want to drive yourself and you're not a family of four for which a private tour might make more sense, this tour offers about the only option to get to Elafonissi beach. Yes the beach is crowded, yes you may have to get through a waist deep water during high tide to cross over to the island, but you keep walking until you will be by yourself. Beware if you are staying in the old town you're the first to be picked up and the last to be dropped off, which takes about an hour each. As I said, it's worth it. The transfer between the minibus and the big bus was smooth and the big bus driver Yannis was very experienced, and our guide Anastasia was so nice, sweet, smart, and informative! Thank you 😊

Amazing Quad Tour

We had an amazing quad tour from start to finish! Everything was perfectly organized, and we got to see so many beautiful places and stunning views along the way. A special thank you to Kostas, who was friendly, professional, and always made sure everyone was having a great time and felt comfortable. You could really tell that he put a lot of effort into making the experience enjoyable for everyone. The tour was a perfect mix of adventure, sightseeing, and fun. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Crete. Thank you for a fantastic day!

Had a blast!

We had an amazing time! This tour felt so special and individualized to our group that we truly felt taken care of. The olive oil and honey tour was our favorite portion as you can tell how passionate everyone who worked there was. We were spent by the end of the day but we truly had a remarkable time. Highly highly recommend traveling with a big or small group!

Perfect day!

We were picked up right at the port in a nice air conditioned van that fit our party of six. First we went to a lovely winery and had a delicious lunch. Then we drove to a lookout on the island for photos. Lastly we went to the harbor for a drink and shopping. This day was tailored to what we wanted to do and it was a perfect day! Thank you!

Buggy Safari From Georgioupolis Area

jackiet975, Jun 2026

Fantastic Experience

I booked the Safari online before our holiday easy to book. I got a WhatsApp message the day before to say what time we will be picked up at our hotel. We chose the buggy, we had a small group going out two buggys one quad and our guide Marilou on his quad who was brilliant and really looked after us. We have done several Safaris in different countries but this one is the best we've ever done. We went on and off road and right up in the mountains stopped off at the very top, then at an old mill lovely little village, had time for a coffee there, and then onto a newer mill, We was out on the buggys for four hours absolutely had a brilliant time, would definitely recommend doing this tour.
