Welcoming and fun - We made this trip as the final event of our Greece vacation and we were not disappointed. Driver was very courteous, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Participating in food preparation was an excellent way to learn about the cuisine and socialize with other couples on this tour. The hosts were also very welcoming, and most gracious. And, once again, learned a bit more of the Cretin history.

The tour was just one of... - The tour was just one of a kind! Dimitri and Andreas, our tour guides had a good knowledge and could explained everything in details. They have great sense of humor too so we had plenty of lough. We started from Olive Oil Factory where we learned about the production of olive oil and testing. Next we went to the cheese factory where we could also taste few sorts of cheese (very tasty). Next we had a snack and Raki in a local bakery and next we reached the winery. We tasted few wines and learned about the wine. the last stop was lunch in a local village where Maria, the best cook in Chania region prepared for all of us delicious food! We had plenty of fun and could meet great people. The tour was worth every cent! Thank you G S Tours Chania ltd - Fabulous Crete for an unforgettable experience.

A great snapshot of the Cretan countryside and villages. - I really enjoyed this little tour. The guide was very relaxed and had a broad range of knowledge about the vegetation, the economics and the history of Crete. It was interesting to see wine and cheese production and I found the visit to the museum particularly enjoyable. The lunch was passable and plentiful. Well worth doing if you don't want to drive everywhere and miss so much, because your eyes are glued to the road! We don't have all those hairpin bends in London.

Wonderful evening. - The experience was incredible! The pork was some of the best Ive ever had. Learning the history of the area, the family, and the farm were top notch. Our driver/guide was superb. Definitely go on this tour. I will try the recipes at home too.
