An Intimate, Authentic, and Delicious Day in Crete - Definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Greece! Antonis was a fantastic guide—incredibly knowledgeable and personable. We only had four people in our group, giving it an exclusive, semi-private feel. We visited Stilianou Winery, a small, family-owned organic winery, and the Politakis Olive Mill, which kept the experience intimate and away from the big tourist crowds. Both the wine and olive oil tastings and tours were enjoyable and interesting. Lunch at Moypnia, a small village restaurant with home-style Cretan dishes, was the perfect finish. Highly recommended!

Incredible - George picked us up from out air B and B in the morning and was a pleasure right from the start. The olive oil tour was a great way to break our fast and start the day. The wine and raki tours were very informative and the wine was delicious. Make sure you try your hand at pottery (i was terrible, and always thought I'd be good at it) make sure you ask for george, he's personable and very knowledgeable about the history of crete, the making of wine, raki and pottery. ncre

Stop looking at other tours and just book this one! - Phenomenal experience visiting with expert craftspeople and sampling their amazing products. Everything was so authentic and real which made the tour worth the price and more. If you have George as your guide, you have won the lottery!

Excellent day out! - We enjoyed every minute of our tour. It's low season at the moment, which meant we were lucky enough to do it as a couple. Giorgios was a fantastic host and extremely knowledgeable about each of the places we visited. He also acted as translator in a couple of places and multitasked tour guiding and facilitating some of the activities. It was fascinating to learn about the processes and traditions of olive oil, wine, and raki manufacturing, and to meet and learn about the families who continue to keep these traditions alive. A personal highlight was visiting the pottery workshop and having a go on the wheel! Bring your appetite for this tour, you will be well fed! I am vegetarian and had lots of options. And it goes without saying that there will also be raki and wine aplenty (along with the opportunity to buy some souvenirs). You will be driving through a beautiful area of Crete on this tour. Giorgios offered to take photos for us along the way. The tour was great value for money - would recommend!

One Day in Crete - Wow! What a fabulous day!! From the first stop - the olive tasting to the beautiful organic winery and the delicious lunch, everyone had a great time. It was a small group - 5 of us traveling together. George was a knowledgeable and helpful guide. All of the food tastings at the olive oil factory, the winery and distillery were plentiful. Save your appetite for this trip!

Fabulous from start to finish. - We had a great day tasting wine, drinking (too much) raki and enjoying learning about the culture of Crete. We also got a chance to try making some pottery and bought little souvenirs and gifts at each stop. George was very informative and kept the group engaged and laughing. Would recommend.

Brilliant Olive Oil/Wine/Raki/Pottery tour! - This tour was just wonderful. Our driver Georgie was lovely and explained everything so well. All 4 stops on the tour were fun and very interesting. Just the right amount of time in each place to enjoy the products and vibe. The breakfast at the Olive Oil Mill was great, the wines were stunning at the winery, the raki was really interesting with lots of generous samples... lunch at the local taverner was generous and delish! The pottery was so much fun! I would very highly recommend.

Fantastic! - Absolutely amazing day! Lots of food drink and Raki! Tour guides were really friendly and funny and made the whole day really enjoyable. The olive oil tour was informative, the wine tour was good too. The meal at the taverna was so tasty and authentic. Well worth the money! We were in a small group of just 6 of us and were a happy group together 😊
