Exceptional Tour! - We traveled throughout Greece and this was one of our favorite tours. We made a stop a Knossos which was very interesting and educational. George was our tour guide for our visits to the family winery and the olive oil production factory. We learned so much about wine and olive oil production in Greece and enjoyed all of the tastings. Our final stop for lunch at a local family restaurant was DELICIOUS! Everything was fresh and local and they fed our tour group of 7 plenty of food to try. We very much enjoyed the tour and appreciated the opportunity to learn so much about the industries. George was one of the best tour guides we had throughout our trip!

The BEST Winery, Olive Oil & Lunch Tour - We had a fantastic day with George, our tour guide! The trip included everything that the package said it would. George was very knowledgeable & friendly. I recommend this trip to anyone visiting Crete especially on the Malia area.

Fantastic experience! - This experience was amazing! I highly recommend it if you want to get a sense of life in Crete - from wine and olive oil making to typical Cretan food in a small village. The scenery is beautiful and every stop seemed better than the next. We learned al lot from the family winery and the olive oil factory and got to meet the people who have run these family businesses for generations. The guide, George, is very knowledgeable and personable as well as accommodating. The best is that this is a small group tour song we got to ask about of questions and get a personal connection concrete and it’s people.

WONDERFUL - This was an amazing tour. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Anthony our guide was very knowledgable and friendly and answered any and all questions we had throughout the day. The small family owned winery was beautiful and fantastic along with the olive oil. Pairings with wine and cheese were perfect along with the delicious olive oil. We went to a local Tavern for lunch and had homemade Greek food which was amazing. I highly recommend this tour.
