The tour was just one of... - The tour was just one of a kind! Dimitri and Andreas, our tour guides had a good knowledge and could explained everything in details. They have great sense of humor too so we had plenty of lough.
We started from Olive Oil Factory where we learned about the production of olive oil and testing. Next we went to the cheese factory where we could also taste few sorts of cheese (very tasty). Next we had a snack and Raki in a local bakery and next we reached the winery. We tasted few wines and learned about the wine.
the last stop was lunch in a local village where Maria, the best cook in Chania region prepared for all of us delicious food!
We had plenty of fun and could meet great people. The tour was worth every cent! Thank you G S Tours Chania ltd - Fabulous Crete for an unforgettable experience.

A great snapshot of the Cretan countryside and villages. - I really enjoyed this little tour. The guide was very relaxed and had a broad range of knowledge about the vegetation, the economics and the history of Crete. It was interesting to see wine and cheese production and I found the visit to the museum particularly enjoyable. The lunch was passable and plentiful. Well worth doing if you don't want to drive everywhere and miss so much, because your eyes are glued to the road! We don't have all those hairpin bends in London.

Full Day Tour Exceeded Expectations - We traveled with a group of 5 friends who were in Crete for the first time. This tour allowed us to experience so much of the Cretan culture that would not have been possible on our own. The cheese factory was amazing and the winery was beautiful! While the sights were awesome, our guide and the conversations we had with him were truly the highlight of our trip.
We were picked up and dropped off directly from the house where we were staying which was an added bonus. We would recommend this daylong adventure to everyone! Thanks again for all of your hospitality!

Experience Crete like a local - Just like so many of the other reviews published here, GS Tours goes way beyond your expectations of what a day trip should be. Book a tour with this local and family run company, you will not be disappointed!
We were caught in bad weather during our time in Crete but fortunately the team had one tour running which was a combination of a historical trip, wine tour, cheese tasting and lunch all combined into a wonderful day out.
Our guide and driver Dimitrios was informative, easy to talk to and being a local, was able to provide a truely authentic experience that you would not be able to do otherwise.
There are also a few surprises along the way on this tour which leads to a wonderful day out as you explore the unique and breathtaking scenery of Crete.
Arrive with an empty stomach and be prepared for lots of Raki!
This trip was the absolute highlight of our time on Crete.

Felt Like Family - Loved this tour. We were a group of 41 people, who wanted to focus on culture and cuisine. We arranged with the company to see certain sites like villages, churches and a fort. We sampled bread, cheese, and liquor from a local merchants. We avoided the normal tourist crowds and were often the only people at the sites. Our guide was patriarch of the family and a terrific man. He was warm, friendly and highly knowledgeable. He made us feel like we were part of his family and not just a bunch of tourists. I highly recommend this company to all.

This was probably one of the best tours... - <p>This was probably one of the best tours I have been on so far. It was a great day from start until end with stops in different local shops such as a bakery, where we welcomed with freshly baked Cretan delicacies followed by tasting a locally produced olive oil and one or two Raki shots in between you cannot escape Rakin when in Crete. Other stops were a museum, a cheese factory and a winery and a lunch at a small restaurant in a village. Our great tour guide was Dimitrios, who did a wonderful job entertaining and sharing his broad knowledge about Crete! Highly recommended!</p>

He gave us a private tour of a typical family home that had been converted to a museum and we went to a local winery where we tasted several local wines with olives, cheese and bread snacks. We then went to a small family restaurant in a small village where we had the most delicious lunch with home made wine. This tour was one of the highlights of our entire vacation.
