A Must-Do On Your First Day! - This was such a great experience. We booked it for our first day in Chania and it really paid off! Our tour guide basically gave us the 411 on the area while leading us around to taste local food. He gave us recommendations for restaurants in the area and gave us lots of history tidbits about the area. It’s a great introductory excursion to teach you more about the area you’re staying in.

Great intro to Chania - Sophia was fabulous. Lots of history along with great food and tips on other places to visit during our stay. We had a car so Sophia had all kids of information on things to add to our itinerary - olive oil tour and hikes and great restaurant recommendations nearby. Highly recommended!

All the YUM with some great sights - What a fabulous morning of food, sights and information. Great option for those wanting to experience some new treats in places you wouldn't find on your own and a great way of seeing this beautiful place without feeling like you will get lost or never find your way back. Private option was perfect for us coming off a cruise ship and just wanted to have our own space and itinerary for a bit. Great food, great guide and fabulous day.

Chania through the eyes of a native - Adonis was our personal guide. He was fabulous. His tour of Chania hit all of the hightlights. We felt like we really understood the history of Chania. If you get a chance to book this tour, grab it. Please ask for Adonis you cannot go wrong with such a nice bright and accomodating guide.

Food and culture - The Old Town and area around the marina is so beautiful! Lots of hidden spots within the city to eat or shop. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the history aid the city. We also learned about the different foods brought to the Greek city by various countries through the centuries. We would love to do another tour with Chrysa! She shared a lovely city and its food treasures with us.

Quick walk through a very cool harbor town with yummy local foods! - Our guide, Tony, was a super nice guy. We lost probably 30 minutes of time because of confusion as to transportation to & from the port, which could improve if Viator included more specific info with the confirmation of the tour. We pictured the tour being more in the old section of Chania, not the city streets more similar to any big city, although stopping in for bougatsa was pretty awesome. We really assumed we'd grab at least 30 minutes for some shopping in the little shops while off the cruise ship, but it really wasn't built in to that tour.
