A TRUE Cretan Experience - NOT to be missed! 🫒 - This was the most amazing, beautiful, eye-opening and spectacular tour I’ve ever been on. With some guided tours, you feel rushed or as if you cannot enjoy the experience as there is too many places to be - this was not that; a one-of-a-kind experience shared with amazing people and hosted by the brilliant and beautiful Rodoula. Featuring an Olive Oil Ranch Tour, Tasting of Local Produce and Olive Oil, a Moden Vineyard experience with Tasting of 5 Wines, Olive Oil and Raki, a more Traditional Vineyard with MORE wine and Raki, and then a beautiful lunch in a traditional Taverna - with the most delicious food served by spectacular hosts (also catered amazingly for Vegeterians and Non-Meat Eaters) and the final stop being a Pottery Workshop, experiencing the methods of Pottery in Crete. I could not recommend this tour more - to all those looking for a unique and special experience whilst visiting Crete - this is the one! Again, thank you to Rodoula for her passionate expertise, humour and communication throughout - being able to do these trips in smaller groups also allows a more personal approach which is stunning. Another great share of thanks to all the business’ involved within this excursion, opening up their facilities to be showcased - multiple bottles of wine and jars of olive oil were purchased!

Do not hesitate you will not find better - We spent an amazing day with Rodoula. We were able to discover the lifestyle, traditions and gastronomy of this beautiful island! I recommend 100% the complete tour that takes you through typical and atypical places. Rodoula knows her subject perfectly, is good conversation , accommodating and full of humor. Good luck choosing what you prefer because everything is great! Congratulations!

The raki flowed freely. - We had a fantastic day with the Creten Vioma team, George was absolutely brilliant. The team clearly had a great relationship with their partner businesses, and we were all made to feel welcome at every stop. Everyone was very generous, putting on huge spreads of gorgeous food. We all felt accepted into Creten culture with a bountiful supply of wine and raki. George is the best driver and photographer in the world (self declared).

Authentic Cretan experience!! - My friend and I are still raving about this tour. It was so much more extensive and fun excursion than we expected. George was a fabulous guide and his enthusiasm for Crete and the culture was so genuine. We met and interacted with the proprietors of every venue. The tastings were incredible! And the food served along side the tastings was perfect and plentiful!! The authentic dining at the family cafe was what you would expect if dining in a Greek home. Top quality experience…only advice is to go hungry!!

Excellent wine tour. - Fantastic day and worth every penny. Our guide, "George" was extremely knowledgeable, informative and friendly. The three tours included were all excellent with top quality wines and food. The tours themselves were very interesting. At the end of the tour we stopped for lunch at a village restaurant. The food here was proper home cooked Cretan food which was delicious and plentiful. The locals who were at the restaurant were very friendly and welcoming. Couldn't recommend this trip more, it was excellent. One tip, DO NOT have breakfast before this tour!

A must do whilst in crete - We booked this through our hotel and was expecting a wine and raki tasting but ended up being the highlight of our trip! Seeing so many local products being made and sampling them all in one day was brilliant. We had George as a tour guide and couldn't fault him really knowledgeable really engaging and friendly character (also best photographer on the island!) the highlight for me was the wine tasting experience which had one of the best views I've seen aswell as real quality wines. Also a special mention to the lunch stop really local feel to it. A must do for those wanting to sample some real Crete experiences whilst here.
