“This was the best tour I have ever done. Something I have wanted to do for many years and it did not disappoint. The tour itself was informative and funny, the farm is absolutely out of this world. So beautiful I asked the owner if I could move in 😂. You are provided with home made lemonade, bread and olive oil plus a 4 course meal, home made wine, and of course limoncello. I cannot rate this experience highly enough. It is an absolute must if you are staying in Sorrento. Well worth the money, which goes towards keeping the farm running ❤️.

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”
