“We really enjoyed our tour with Jacob. The drive up to the mountains included beautiful vistas along the way with a few photo stops. Crete is a beautiful island and the scenery is just gorgeous. The stop at a family restaurant for lunch was very nice and the food was very good. Jacob filled us in with interesting details about the history and also with fun facts about Crete. We were included in a group of 7 from our cruise ship.”

A private, tailor-made shore trip in Chania with cruise-port pickup, a local guide, and flexible stops for Old Town, olive oil, and wine.

“This experience was excellent. We had Maria from imable tours booked through viator. She was absolutely amazing and the best tour guide I have ever had and I’ve gone on a lot of tours. This was a tailor-made tour so I gave Maria some ideas of what we were looking for and she came back with a perfect itinerary and suggestions. She packed homemade Creteon snacks for us. She was extremely knowledgeable, took us to all the right places at the right time and was able to pack in a lot in one day as we were on a ship which limited our time we did so many wonderful things…”

3.Chania Shore Excursion Off Road Vineyard and Winery Tour Half Day

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $107.17Best value

A half-day Crete shore excursion by 4x4 through Vatolakos Hills, then a Manousakis winery tour with five wine tastings and cheese.

“Nice welcome from the Manousakis family, warm and efficient explanation on the production of their wines. Tasting of 5 wines accompanied by cheeses/charcuterie and bread. As for transportation in our case we were accompanied by two guides and two cars. John was definitely connoisseurs and gave a lot of info during the visit but Anastasio was the second driver we had and we felt a little less comfortable and wanted to please us and know us rather than inquire about what we saw during the off-piste ride.Auto-translated”

We had good communication about the pick up the day before the tour. The pick-up was on time!! The tour is so interesting and we learnt about the palace but also the history and mythology of Crete. We asked to be dropped off in the city after and this was no problem. We have no complaints, great experience, service and value.”
