Pleasant evening - A super fun evening, good food with typical Cretan music and dance. Compliments to the bus driver and tour guide who humorously took us to the Tavern and picked us up.

"A Cretan Night" To Remember - the best of music, dance, food, drink and hospitality. - Everything about the night was special, the music, the dance, the food, the drinks, the great hospitality, the excellent guide on the night, the comfortable transport and CheckinCreta's excellent communication and efficient arrangements. The musicians and dancers were all local authentic Cretans of the highest standard. Because all the performers were from the local community, we were getting to experience real Cretan culture up close. Our guide on the night was none other than Michail Vitorakis, founder of the CheckinCreta company . Speaking to Michail, it was clear he is not only a man a man who is dedicated to delivering the best service to his guests, but he is a man of vision. His vision for CheckinCreta is to provide an opportunity to show his guests the "real Crete". He has a great knowledge of Cretan culture, Cretan history, Cretan folklore, art and a deep appreciation of the Cretan landscape. He draws on all of this when designing his excursions and his tour guides share his vision and enthusiasm. My wife and I were so impressed that we booked onto 2 other CheckinCreta excursions also, namely the excursion to Preveli Palm Beach and the wonderful "Cretan Stories" tour.

We had a good tome - We really enjoyed this trip! We had a nice tourguide who took us to the winery and we had delicious wine and some little Fingerfood there. Afterwards we drove to the tavern and had really good food and wine - all included. Unfortunately we weren’t able to dance - but this was due to corona and the safety distance. But we were able to see some traditional Cretan dance! We would definitely recommend this tour!

Disappointing - Tour guide was very helpful, circulated amongst the group trying to make sure everyone was happy. The music and dancing was fun and continued throughout the whole evening. Sadly we were unable to see the dancers and musicians most of the time - our view was blocked by other guests - that was very disappointing. There was a wide range of food, however there were very few options for vegetarians- our guide did manage to get us a small bowl of chips! The wine was good. The original trip was advertised as two parts including going to a village for a wine tasting session, followed by the meal in another village.The former did not happen and yet the price was still the same.

Bad - My booking was cancelled because my booking consisted of two activities and eventually shortened to 1 activity for the same amount.
