Great tour for a cruise day in Crete - Such a great experience. We did the olive oil, traditional lunch, and wine tasting tour. All were fabulous. Group of 11 were comfortable. Did this as an excursion off the NCL Jade. Customized times and could meet at 10am avoiding the morning rush of the ship excursions. Met right where the port shuttle dropped us. All stops were excellent and enjoyable. Love the people that we met, all were passionate and fun.

Fanatic day can’t recommend enough - The wine tasting was a fabulous experience, it started with us trying 6 different wines from the region alongside traditional Greek snacks. Afterwards we had a little tour of the vineyard and learnt about the history of wine making in Greece and the grapes which were in the wines we had just tasted. The winery itself is beautiful, it offers stunning views of the Cretian landscape and the staff were all very welcoming. After the wine tasting we had a lovely authentic lunch. The food was simple but delicious and it was great to experience a truly Cretian moment. Lastly we popped to the pottery barn where we created some little treasures to take home and remember the day by. While the tour itself was great, our guide Louise was unbelievable. She was knowledgable about the island, focused on making the tour special for us and altogether a lovely women. Couldn’t recommend her or the tour enough. Thank you for a brilliant day out

Perfect Wine tasting experience - We had a great day wine tasting at a winery in a beautiful location, then a stop off in a village for lunch and then on to try a hand at pottery. Tanya our guide was very informative and made the day fun. We will be back for another tour soon.
