“George was an INCREDIBLE host and driver for the evening. We both had a fantastic time and felt it was worth every penny. There are multiple stops along the way with stunning settings for photos. George was instrumental in encouraging everyone to capture the moments, with his own photography skills highly commended. The evening meal was at a great local authentic Greek tavern, which also accommodated vegan options within the food offered. We would not hesitate to recommend this experience to someone else! P.s. we would recommend bringing some cash to buy the olive oil and honey along the journey.”

“We had a wonderful time! We loved how private and personable the tour is. There were only 4 of us and a tour guide, Nikos. Nikos was very knowledgeable of everything Crete—from its history, to its food, and even animals. The Milia Mountain Retreat was absolutely beautiful. The food was amazing. The wine and olive oil tour was pretty good. Wine is subjective, depending on your taste, but we loved all the selections that they had. They had a variety of wines—from whites to reds. This is definitely something I would recommend to family and friends who visit Chania. The price is also very reasonable.”
