The experience was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and made all of us feel comfortable - plenty of wine and food to go around. Would highly recommend!
this was by far the best tour we have been on in25 years, do not pass this one. I gaurentee it will be better than I can describe
Absolutely fantastic day out! Pierre was a joy to spend the day with teaching us all about the traditional wine and foods of Crete. I can't recommend this trip enough, it is wonderful value for money and an experience we will never forget!
First class in every way.
We had a great time. Pierre was wonderful.
What an amazing day! This is a small personal tour, there was only us and one other couple on the trip along with Pierre who runs the tour with his wife. First stop is an olive farm which has given me a new appreciation for good olive oil, then onto the first wine farm - gorgeous views, delicious wines and good company who needs to speak the same language when drinking wine?. Lunch was at a small local restaurant with a mixture of small sharing plates for starters and desserts as well as mouth watering lamb for mains. Of course more excellent wine to accompany. The afternoon is then spent having a snooze while being driven to the next wine farm for more tasting. We ended up buying loads of local produce under no pressure whatsoever which I can't wait to sample while remembering one of the best trips of a holiday ever!
