“My husband and I booked a private food tour with Christos and it was excellent. We got an opportunity to taste some of the delicious foods that Chania is famous for. We left full and also learned a lot about Chania. Christos was an amazing guide and we enjoyed so much getting to know him.

He took up to streets in the old town that we would never have found on our own. He was so kind and easy to chat with and made certain…”

“Fantastic private tour of Chania. Be prepared to try LOTS of traditional Greek cuisine. You will not leave hungry. Wine tasting was excellent and Ms Maria has lots of knowledge about Cretian wine to share. The excellent guide, Nadia, gives you personal time at each stop to make this a truly private and memorable experience. Guide went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable during the very hot day and were treated like members of a family. Highly recommend this tour!”
