Fun morning of Discovery - Goldie was very knowledgeable, not only about Chania but also enlighten us with stories in Mythology at a lovely local tapas and beer cafe. It was a great way to get a true feel for this beautiful old town.

Wonderful tour - Our guide was Sophia, and she is incredible! She is very knowledgeable, very kind, and finds out what you want to focus on at the beginning.
If you want a lot of walking, have food preferences, etc… and we had a personalized day with her excellent guidance. This was worth every Euro!
This is one of the best tours we have ever been on, including our trip to Mediterranean, to Canada, and Alaska. We will always remember this day fondly.

Best tour of our trip - Sophia was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable, she taught us some Greek words, took us through all the sections of the old town but did it by including cool back routes, and talked to us the whole way. She knows good places to shop and helped us find the gifts we were looking for. We had a small meal at a place favored by locals instead of by tourists, which was very quiet and tasty.

One of the best tours - What a fun experience!! Russo and Manos were the best. We learned so much about the history and archtecture, besides the stores and restaurants. We were able to take breaks when we needed.

So Much Fun - Roussos was an amazing guide and we had the best time. Six of us from the USA joined with him for a walking tour of Chania that was so interesting AND included so much delicious food it was fantastic. I highly recommend Alma de Creta.

A perfect port day! - This was a perfect way to explore Chania Old Town. Our private tour guide Chryssa (so?) was highly knowledgeable and had a delightful personality. The tour included an excellent cafe lunch with our guide, and it gave us a chance to really get to know her and learn more about Crete history and culture. We really can’t think of a way to better spend a port day than with this tour.

Chania through the eyes of a local? - Our guide was friendly and courteous. He was also knowledgeable of Chanian history and culture. We felt the excursion was more a standard tour than a “chance to see Chania through the eyes of a local”. That may have been an unrealistic expectation on our part. As a tour, it was fine.
