Additional Information

It was likely the Daily Telegraph that suggested a unique reason to tour each Greek island a few years ago. For Crete, the main lure was the cuisine. Local residents would undoubtedly concur, as while 90% of the Greek islands possess unrivaled allure, Crete adds to that appeal with the highest-grade food. Clearly, a culinary exploration of the city…

Excellent food and great insight into the region - This was a great tour. Our guide took use to a bunch of great food locations as well as showing us around the Old Town. He really knows his stuff about Chania so taking this tour not only gave me the inside track on where to get great food in Chania but also gave me a lot of great context for understanding Chania's history and personality.

Christos led us on a fantastic food tour! - Christos went above and beyond on this food tour. He was so generous with his time—the tour ended up lasting longer than scheduled, and we were stuffed by the end. We had an olive oil tasting, the best gyro anyone in my group has ever had, delicious desserts, and more. Additionally, we stopped by a unique store where we had the opportunity to buy incredible dried herbs and teas. All and all, it was lovely and he was so friendly and fun! Thank you!

A Delightful Culinary Adventure in Chania - If you're looking for a walking food tour that beautifully blends delicious flavours with local hidden gems, this experience in Chania is a must! From the moment we set out, we were treated to an incredible variety of dishes, each one more exciting than the last. Traditional Cretan bites, locally sourced ingredients, and sweet treats—all perfectly curated to showcase the region’s rich food culture. What made the tour truly special was the discovery of charming little shops tucked away in winding streets, places we never would have found on our own. Whether it was an artisanal bakery, a family-run olive oil shop, or a hidden café, each stop added a personal and authentic touch to the journey. The pacing was just right, allowing us to savour the flavours and the atmosphere without feeling rushed. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history and stories behind every dish. If you’re in Chania and want to immerse yourself in local cuisine while uncovering some hidden treasures, this tour is an absolute gem!

A well thought out tour with lots of food - The tour had seven stops so the walking is broken up and most of the stops are pretty close together so it’s no problem if you don’t want to walk far. A few stops had tables to sit at to enjoy the latest culinary delight so you don’t stand the whole time. Our guide Christos was super friendly and engaging and really made the tour wonderful. We tried local pastries, cheeses, gyros, honey, sweets and a bunch more so make sure you’re hungry. The stop in a herb shop with local wild herbs was also great (and a nice break from eating for one stop). The loukoumades (doughnuts) towards the end was my favourite of all the things we ate so make sure you save room for them.

Fantastic Food Tour with the Best Host - Fantastic food tour with Christos, who is super friendly and very knowledgeable of Chania. Seemed like he knew everyone as we were walking around town. The food was delicious and filling, and each owner at the locations were also very friendly and welcoming. Christos also went over and above, helping us find a great restaurant for our next evening.

Beautiful and tasty Chania - The tour was great; we went to lots of cafes and shops that ordinarily you may miss. The cheeses and snacks were delicious and we certainly were not hungry at the end of the tour. John was a wonderful guide with so much knowledge about Chania, its history, food and culture. Chania is both beautiful and charming and the tiny streets in the old town are amazing. We would recommend this tour!

Charming Chania and the Local Food - This is a wonderful food tour of Chania thanks to our guide, Cristos. Cristos was very enthusiastic and passionate not only about the food of Greece, but the local vendors and life in general. He is such a positive energy force. The food was made with high-quality ingredients, and absolutely delicious! Be curious & be hungry! Our favourite was the cheese & charcuterie board, the Greek Coffee and the Gyros. The dried herb store was absolutely fascinating. The only reason we hesitated to buy any herbs was because we didn't want to face any problems upon returning home by air by the customs people.

Good food, good tour. - The food tour started at Domino’s Pizza which had us concerned but it was much better than that obviously! We sampled some cheese at one stop which was mostly good. Had a pastry with spinach and cheese that was very good. Gyro place was just ok. Tasted a bit over salted compared to others we’ve had here in Crete. Guide was energetic and good. Good overall samples of Cretan cuisine. No seafood but that was ok.
