A great sharing experience - We had a great time with Alexandros our guide, the family who welcomed us on their beautiful property, as well as the people in our group.
A lot of discovery on Crete at the gastronomic level but also historical and geographical, and all this by cooking typical small dishes and tasting some good wines, it was great!
The family welcome was very warm, as was that of Alexandros who gave us advice and addresses for the rest of our holiday, we recommend!
Ps: We were surprised at Alexandros’ very good level of French, which is a big plus when you don’t know all the English vocabulary words, so don’t hesitate.

Top tours I have ever attended, Alexandros is a S tier tour guide. Super knowledgeable, kind, great energy. The hosts - Georges and Adamandia, are the kindest and sweetest. Extremely welcoming and caring.
Can not recommend more if you want to learn about and experience Crete :)
