A foodie’s paradise - This food tour experience is fenomenal! Yannis will take you to amazing places, cities, villages to try a variety of dishes. You’ll have amazing coffee as well as desserts. He is super polite, very informative about everything Crete and always pays attention to details to make you feel good and safe. He is a very calm person and enjoys spending his time with new people, to tell them stories about Crete and hear their stories. He easily goes over the time slot you booked if you have the time so you feel comfortable and not rushed. Be advised you will encounter quite a lot of food so try to have a tasting mindset otherwise you may end up too full to enjoy the last dishes. As a final thought I would recommend you book this tour at the beginning of your stay in Crete if possible, that way you will be even more amazed by their food and Yannis will be able to give you some advice about where to eat or what experiences, what beaches and what adventures are worth trying next. As a bottom line if not already obvious I recommend this tour from the bottom of my heart and I hope you’ll enjoy it! Vlad

Flavors to delight the senses! - This tour was a great tour with a fantastic host. The food and scenery was amazing. The first stop had some really yummy zucchini flower appetizers that I’ve never tasted and will remember for a. Very long time to come. The one tip I’d recommend to others is to pace yourself because we ate so much at the first stop and by the time we got to the 2nd taverna we could barely eat.So be ready to eat, and eat a lot! So pace yourself. Overall I would highly recommend a tour with Yannis!

Amazing local Cretan cuisine, lovely destinations and great company! - The gastronomy tour was a wonderful experience and Yannis, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We visited various local gems, outside of the touristy areas that we would have never found on our own and were warmly welcomed at each stop. The food and wine was outstanding and our guide made us feel like old friends. I wouldn’t change a thing but make sure to bring your appetite!
