We enjoyed the wine and Olive oil tastings. Our guide was fun, and it was cool to see the Cretan countryside. I do think it was a little pricey for what we got out of it, but the included transportation was nice.

We booked the olive oil and wine tasting tour from Chania and it was really good value for money. I enjoyed learning about how olive oil is produced and the wines we tasted were excellent. The measures were generous and the snacks provided were also delicious. Our driver Nikos was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about Cretan history on the way to each stop. Being a small group it made the trip really accessible and it always helps when the the others on the trip are friendly and enthusiastic. The staff at the wineries were friendly and explained their products really well and unlike other similar visits we’ve done in other parts of Europe there was no ‘hard sell’, which made us feel more inclined to actually buy something to take home. 10/10 would recommend.

This was a great tour and Andreas was the best guide! It was really interesting to learn about the importance of olive oil and wine to the island and more about their production. Beautiful to see all of the olive trees and hilly landscape. Can recommend to solo travelers as well - nice activity to learn more about Crete and spend time with a nice group.
