Beautiful activity - Such a lovely setting and a beautiful experience. I even got a couple of bottles of wine to enjoy throughout the rest of my holiday. Would definitely go again.

Best Winery in Greece - A very nice, private wine tour with only another couple with us. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. The five wine tasting was the best I ever had dissecting the aroma and taste of each wine. Highly recommend the Titakis Winery!

Lovely wine, beautiful scenery - A good afternoon out! The wine was lovely - 2 reds, 2 whites and a sweet sparkling wine - and the winery itself is in a stunning location, which was really relaxing. The tour was also interesting and the guide was friendly and answered all the questions our group had. If you want to pick up a bottle afterwards (we got a few!), the prices are very reasonable and it's easy to find the wines you liked from the tasting. The transfer from our hotel was very prompt and easy to find, they provided details of the car and a map pin for the pick-up point, and our driver was really friendly and gave us some great info about Heraklion and other areas in Crete. The only thing we felt could be improved is that we would have liked to have had a bit more time at the winery, perhaps to have another drink and explore a bit more - it felt like we were travelling for longer than we actually spent at the vineyard. All around, we had a lovely afternoon with great service and communication, and lovely wine, just perhaps a little too quick for us. Thank you!

Tasty Wine - The driver was amazing, so good at telling us everything about Heraklion! The winery was stunning such a nice break from the beach.

Take a taxi - Your reservation time means nothing. The transfer was hour and a half late and they didn't even inform us. When we asked for explenations the owner was very rude telling us to find another way to get to the winery. For the return we also had to wait for an hour because we were supposed to return with another couple that came about a hour after us. The winery was amazing and the driver was very nice but please do yourself a favor just take a taxi

Bad deal, book direct with vineyard - Great customer service however I am very grateful that this booking ended up being cancelled. We were told by the provider of this trip that the taxi would only wait 45 mins for us. Leaving no time for a tour or lunch. We went direct to the vineyard, thier transfer package was not only cheaper but it included wine tasting and lunch. We were also able to stay as long as we wanted. For such a beautiful vineyard you really don't want yo be rushed.

Disappointing - The winery was beautiful, the wine was good, and we liked the driver. However, they picked us up an hour late and shortened the tour from 3 hours to 2 hours. When we arrived at the winery, there was no one to greet us. We stood there awkwardly for 5 minutes until someone finally asked us what we were doing there. They then said someone will be with you in 5 minutes. After we were seated, we had 4 pours. They were incredibly weak. Between the two of us, we probably had 50ml of wine per pour, just a splash. It was not the Greek hospitality I've experienced everywhere else in Crete. I would not recommend.
