Great tour - This private tour was an amazing way to experience some of Crete’s most unique highlights in one day. Elafonisi Beach was absolutely stunning, with its pink-tinged sand and crystal-clear water. We visited the Grocery Store for honey and olive oil tasting giving us a chance to sample authentic local products and learn a bit about traditional production. It felt genuine and not rushed at all. Visiting the Cave of Agia Sofia added a completely different dimension to the day, with its impressive natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. We finished the tour with lunch and wine. Our guide made the experience even better—friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible to our pace. Everything was well-organized and comfortable from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a mix of nature, culture, and local flavors in Crete.

Tour experience - Our family had such an incredible experience on the honey and olive oil tour, combined with visits to Agia Sophia Cave and the pink sand beach, it truly ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Our tour guide, Aphrodite was amazing, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing her culture. She made everyone feel comfortable and made the entire day flow seamlessly. She also took us to a fantastic spot for authentic Greek food, which ended up being one of the best meals we had on the trip. It was such a thoughtful touch and really completed the experience. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Crete especially if you're traveling with family and want something meaningful, beautiful, and well-organized.

Best of the Best - Maria was one of the best tour guides we have ever had and we travel A LOT and use viator all the time. She is so warm and kind and so passionate about sharing her knowledge about Cretan history, traditions and their lifestyle. She was attentive to every little detail and customized our day to our desires. Since we travelled in late March it was a little chilly and she went out of her way to go back to her own house and get jackets for me and my daughter. It also started to rain as we were ending our tour and she gave us her umbrella so we didn’t get wet while getting back to our hotel (which she picked up at our hotel the next day…so thoughtful and kind). I highly recommend this tour! 12/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chania Private Tour - The tour was excellent. We enjoyed the wine tasting and olive oil/honey expediences. Both had wonderful guides and tasting delights. Our guide, George, was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us choices along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Great Beach Day - Great way to spend the day and more importantly have someone else drive! We loved the honey and olive oil tasting. We love the beach but you need to know it’s about a 15 min walk from the van to the beach. They do provide towels and umbrellas and beach mats. But there are only a few places in the beach where you can use your own umbrella. You can rent an umbrella and two chaises for 20 E. There is also a “handicap” van if you need to move older people or people with diminished mobility down to the beach. Ask at the kiosk at the entrance. Our driver George gave us the proposed itinerary and then let us taylor it to how we felt. We appreciated the flexibility! If you want more beach time you may need to cut out something like the cave tour or winery? Up to you.

Awesome tour! - We loved this tour! Our driver George was so flexible and didn’t mind that we went 2 hours over our time. He was knowledgeable and considerate. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you have George as your guide.

Elafon Beach, cave, and tasting tour - Great tour - just our group with a private driver! We really enjoyed the cave, and the wine, olive oil and honey tasting - and lovely scenery along the drive. The driver provided plenty of bottled water throughout the day. The beach was beautiful but we did not see any pink sand - not sure why - and the beaches near Chania are really just as nice. We booked a 10AM tour, but an eralier timeslot probably would allow for more beach time.

Must take this trip - This trip was fantastic! George was a wonderful and safe driver on very narrow twisty road. The beach was beautiful and our lunch was delicious. Highly recommend this fun excursion.
