Review of Crete’s wine and olive oil tour from Chania, with two wineries, Vouves olive tree, tastings, scenery, guides, and practical tips.
“We were picked up close to our hotel and the driver was friendly and informative. Scenic drive which took about an hour. The first stop was both olive oil and wine tasting. The host was very knowledgeable and explained the different types of olive oil. Second stop was another winery where the host explained the different types of grapes. Both places provided food that was delicious. Highly recommend this tour!!!”

Review of Chania’s wine, olive oil, 4WD, and Milia lunch tour, with practical advice on price, food, timing, and who should book.
“The tour was very well-paced and each stop felt thoroughly planned. The restaurant offered stunning views and the food was hands down the best food we had during our stay in Crete. It was authentically Cretan. The olive oil tasting was also a standout. We learned so much about the process and the tasting was delicious. Our guide, Vassilis K was exceptionally tentative to our needs. He was incredibly knowledgeable, full of fun facts that kept us entertained throughout the drive. The tour and guide exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour. Thank you Vas K and Viator for an incredible day! The Philly 6”
Explore Crete’s ancient olive trees, mountain gorges, local wines, and Cretan lunch on a small-group 4WD tour from Chania.
“This tour was more than we had hoped it would be. We saw amazing scenery, tasted great food and wine, saw an 3000-5000 year old olive tree, and learned so much about Crete from Nasos. His company is communicative, and Nasos always had interesting things to share with us about the place he calls home! He also made sure to get us back to the ship in plenty of time. This ‘safari’ was just what we needed! You will regret not booking with them.”
