This was a wonderful tour! At every stop the hosts were very kind, excited to tell us about their work and generous with their offerings of food and wine/raki! Even when we encountered car troubles, the team was quick to problem solve and get us right back on track. Thank you all!

This tour was excellent! Our guides were fun and inclusive. The olive farm was great! The winery was beautiful with tons of grapes everywhere! We enjoyed the wine. Lots of wine.... My wife and I enjoyed every moment!

All 3 experiences were awesome and couldn’t have nicer hosts and tour guides. I highly recommend! The olives were sweet, the wine was smooth, and the tasting experience was better than most restaurants.

Wonderful tour of Cretan Dragon, a family-owned organic olive farm. Wonderful tasty treats provided! I’d never had bergamot before and it was super delicious! Then went to see the beautiful vineyards of Garakis winery, where Dracos and his small helper (aka nephew) provided a tour of the property. The tasting was splendid! The spanakopita and tiropita were wonderful and so was the Shiraz.

Great tour! Gives you a taste of everything with very unique family owned places. The winery was a favorite gorgeous views and delicious wine at a very small family winery. The guide was also great, very funny!

Lovely small group experience! There were 6 of us total. Alex was wonderful, and spoke frankly about the changes Crete is dealing with. Drakos was also delightful. We could buy products at each place, but we never felt like we had to and there wasn’t a sales pitch. And everything was DELICIOUS. I’m gluten free and was stuffed at the end of the day.

This was such a an amazing day every single aspect was just perfect. Our drivers Tony and Yani were so knowledgeable and great fun they really made the experience! Alex at the olive grove was so full of knowledge and answered all our questions and Drakos and his mom at the vineyard were also amazing and so welcoming. Maria's food for lunch was so fresh and her hospitality was just amazing. Would recommend coming hungry as each stop you are given lots of delicious fresh food! Definitely plan for a nap afterwards too. I would recommend this highly to anyone visiting Crete and I would definitely come again!
