Olive oil and wine tasting - What a fab day out we had with this group. Gianis was our driver, very friendly and welcoming with amazing knowledge of the area. We enjoyed listening to the history of the area whilst exploring the olive groves, olive oil factory, vineyard, and gorge. If you love olive oil and wine, then this trip is for! We organised it through our hotel and so glad we did. After the tours, lunch was included in a lovely little traditional greek restaurant. Home cooked meatballs 😋 delicious greek salad and of course cake and raki. Fabulous day with wonderful people. ❤️

Off road with a twist - Jason was a great guide and a good driver. The trip itself was just lovely (although I now feel I know more about olive oil than I ever wanted to!) A delicious wine tasting, followed by a dramatic off road experience through stunning Cretan country. Then a stop at a little restaurant in the mountains for some excellent food. Such a great day out - thank you Jason.

Nice day trip🥰 - Jason was our tourguide at our trip, he told everything about the island and of course about the trip. He was asking how we are and was wery thouhgtful. But also wery funny, got us laughting all the time 😁 The trip was wery nice, stops were perfect. Off road was little scary for me, but wery safe thouh. Off road doesn't last wery long, so scary people like me will get it nice, and after that you get amazing lunch in a little taverna, creek salad with mizithra cheese, tsatsiki, meatbolls with fries, apple pie for the dessert and of course raki 😁 Wery nice time to spend one day of the holiday ❤️ Thank you Jason for nice day 🥰

A brilliant day out with superb food - We had a brilliant day on this tour. Our guide, Jason, was excellent - extremely knowledgeable both about the various locations we visited, but also about wider Cretan and Greek culture and history. The visits to both the olive oil company and the winery were superb, but it was the hilly drive through the gorge that really took our breath away. Highly recommend this fun and interesting day out.

Great day out - Great day out. Our driver Jason was entertaining and knowledgeable. Olive visit very interesting, however the wine tasting session was dull and not engaging. Poor quality food provided for lunch. However still enjoyed the day thanks to Jason.
