Amazing walking tour - We have been to Chania a couple times on our own and wandered around but this tour takes you to some hidden gem you were likely not aware existed. The guide we had made it even more amazing with the history and local lore. She was fantastic and we had the best time.

Vamos con Manos- incredible! - Monos was incredible. We did the food walking towards a private group. He was so friendly and knew so much about the city. He gave us additional food and shopping recommendations. All of the stores and restaurants were incredibly kind and hospitable. The gyro was the BEST! Would highly recommend this tour for a family!

Chania Old Town: History, Myth and Hidden Gems, - Wonderful tour of Chania Old Town. We learned so much about the island’s history and mythology, then stopped for some delicious Greek food and drinks at a cozy local spot. Our guide, Goldy, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and patient—she took great photos and led us to hidden gems we would have never find on our own. Highly recommended!

Friendly and knowledgeable guide, Aria, very interesting tour - Had a fantastic guide in Aria, she was super friendly and very knowledgeable. She tailored the walk and information to our interests and we gained a good insight into the history and culture of Chania from her as we ambled through the narrow pretty streets, some of which we wouldn’t have found or fully appreciated without her! We enjoyed some tastings along the way: olive oils, honey, desserts and finished off the tour with a selection of local foods and a drink (all included in the price). Would highly recommend this guided walk and suggest you do it early on in your stay to appreciate the rich culture and layered history of this beautiful old town.

Wonderful tour of Chania Old Town - We had the pleasure of a wonderful tour this week with Manos. He bought the history and culture of Chania old town to life, he is so knowledgable. We went to parts of the old town we’d never have visited on our own. The pace of the tour was great for us, and Manos supplied treats along the way. We finished the tour with a glass of wine, mezze and an interesting discussion on all things Crete. Highly recommended.

Wonderful tour in a beautiful city! - We had a great tour with Adonis. He is from Chania and was very informative. He took us through Old Chania which is just lovely. And we ended our tour in the main square with an assortment of small bites and a glass of wine!

Wonderful Walking Tour - This is a great way to learn about Chania's history from the ancient Minoans to present day. When you book before summer season there are fewer in a group so we had the tour guide to ourselves and Goldy was wonderful. She knew so much about the old town sites and also recommended local restaurants and shops. We had a fabulous olive oil/honey/raki tasting at one shop and Goldy treated us to local specialties at a café and entertained us with stories of Greek mythology while we ate. It was a thoroughly enjoyable 3 hours.
