Amazing Experience!! - Yannis went above and beyond to make pit stop in Chania amazing. First, I booked this tour for 8 people. About 6 days before, my son and girlfriend decided to join us on the trip. When I reached out to Yannis, he stated his car only held 8 additional people, which I totally understood. Instead of just leaving it at that, he recruited another driver, Harry, to drive 2 additional people to the tour. That is great customer service!! Second, the tour iteself was incredible. The food and the views were some of the best I have ever experienced. The lamb was cooked to perfection and even my MIL who hates lamb enjoyed it. Lastly, Yannis and Harry were 2 of the nicest people you could ever meet. They shared so much personal stories (which we loved) as well as history of Chania. We all agreed this was one of the best tours of our trip.

Unforgettably Delicious! - My husband and I enjoyed an unforgettable day on Crete with Yannis as our guide! He took us to breathtaking spots and charming villages, showcasing the island’s finest. The food was delectable, and the scenery was spectacular! I wholeheartedly recommend Yannis for an enriching 5 Star tour filled with history, insights into olive farming, yummy wine and food, local culture, the monastery, and beyond!

Excellent tour of local Cretan produce around Chania with Yannis - We loved our tour with Yannis of some of the Chania region tasting amazing local food and wine. He was communicative, knowledgeable, passionate about Crete and connected with so many fantastic local family businesses. We ate so well with fresh, authentic dishes of the region and visited places we would not have found by ourselves. We would 100% recommend taking a tour with Yannis!

Fantastic Greek food - Yannis took us to several very authentic Greek tavernas for a great selection of traditional food. We also visited a small monastery that used to house a olive mill and then got to see a working olive oil press. We had great time learning about Cretan food, history, and mythology. The drive through the countryside was very enjoyable.

Tour to recommend - If you want to enjoy true Greek gastronomy, I highly recommend this tour. It was really during his turn that I ate the best during my entire stay in Greece. We tasted dishes that I never thought I would taste during my stay. Yannis knows his Island well and showed us a small tavern of the style cuisine to Grandma, in the middle of what I was looking for. If I had one Trip Tip: Come in on an empty stomach, because otherwise you won't be hungry enough for the second meal.

Memorable experience - This was the most amazing tour and experience with Yannis. All the other reviews are a true reflection of the fabulous day. Yannis did above and beyond to make the experience interesting and memorable with all the planned visits on the day. We were treated like very special guests and friends in each element of the tour. Yannis went out of his way to collect us and drop us off at our hotel. On the quality of our day I would recommend anything that Yannis offers. If there was a higher star rating - I would have given it. All in all a very special, memorable day

Hit local spots and ate excellent meals with local drinks - Host is awesome, he'll take you to awesome local spots. He can answer pretty much all of your questions. As some other reviews might say, you will have too much to eat. Definitely recommended, if you want a chill fun experience and want to feel more connected to the area don't hesitate to book with him. I'd give a higher rating if I could.
