Amazing start to our trip! - We came to Crete to explore both Chania and Heraklion, and this walking tour in Chania was an amazing start to our trip! The Old Town is so beautiful, full of history, and our guide made the experience even better with fascinating stories about the city's past. What we loved most was how the guide also shared local tips on where to find the best traditional Greek food. We’re excited to try out the restaurants and dishes they recommended! This tour really gave us a great introduction to Chania and made us even more excited for the rest of our time in Crete.

Beautiful city! - I came to Chania mainly to enjoy the beautiful beaches, but after taking this walking tour through the city center, I’m so glad I decided to explore more! The Old Town is full of charm with its narrow streets, vibrant shops, and incredible mix of historical architecture. The guide did a great job of sharing the city’s fascinating history, and I really enjoyed learning about the different cultures that have shaped Chania over the centuries. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that the heart of the city is just as wonderful as its coastline!

October Couple - Walking tour in Chania! This was our first time in Crete, and the walking tour in Chania was a fantastic way to start our trip before heading to Santorini! We absolutely loved exploring the Old Town with its charming streets, historic buildings, and beautiful harbor. Our guide was wonderful, sharing so much history about the different cultures that influenced the city, from the Venetians to the Ottomans. It really gave us a deeper appreciation of Chania and Crete as a whole. We’re so glad we did this tour before continuing our journey to Santorini!

Unfortunate miss - We were looking forward to our Chania tour as we had been in this picturesque city for a day or so. We booked the tour in the morning for a 5pm tour. When we got the tickets, The meeting place and meeting location noted on the ticket were two different places, one was a parking lot and the other was the old market building. We called the number on our e ticket to get clarification but couldn’t get through. We then realized the tickets were for the following day and were leaving the city. We tried to cancel but by this time we were within24 hours of the tour and had to forfeit the entire amount of the ticket. Lesson - check dates and times on the ticket and note the cancellation policy. Felt this was inappropriate policy as a cancellation fee for this type of tour. Richard

Get a real tour guide instead - I would have been OK if I had paid 10 euro for this… anything over that was far too much to get shown really surface level sites and to not be able to hear the tour guide for an hour. Way overpaid, way under impressed. Get a private tour guide for a few hours who cares enough to take their time explaining things to you and show you interesting things you wouldn’t pass by and learn anyway.

Wasted hour will not go for it again - Tour last only 1 hour, guide was nice but share with us minimum information and it was not tell in an interesting way. When asked a question we felt that the answer was not sufficient for us. Belive there is a better way to spend one hour and we would benefit more from self guide.
