Great tour in Crete - Our tour of Crete and Chania was very informative and fun thanks to our tour guide Stella . She allowed us to change things up and enjoy a wonderful lunch along the port in Chania . Not a lot to see in Crete but this tour with Stella was worth it .

Great Tour, Great Guide! - Wonderful tour! The monastery and Hill of Prophet Elijah were great stops off the usual tourist path. Old Town was enjoyable to walk around, shop, and eat. What made our tour extra special was our guide Maria. She was outstanding! Courteous, extremely knowledgeable, and flexible. And Viator was helpful, too, when we needed to delay our pickup time an hour. We highly recommend this tour and Maria!

Stella was great - Stella was a great tour guide. She allowed us to travel and sight see at our own pace and provided a lot of information. My husband is handicapped and Stella and our driver were extremely attentive to making sure he was included.

Beautiful city to explore on your own - Beautiful old city, old harbour front with many restaurants and views of the beautiful old buildings. Nice pedestrian streets with many leather, jewelry and ceramic shops. Walk further into old town and find various brand stores. Easy and inexpensive transport by bus to/from center.

Lovely time in Crete - Loved how are wonderful guide Gabby took us to more the back streets and less touristy areas of the Old Town. She was extremely knowledgeable about everywhere we visited and very cognizant of our needs. The luxury vehicle was excellent and they met us where specified. Highly recommend.

Nice small town for half day visit - Chania is a genuinely nice little old town, crossed by many historical influences. The old port looks nice and clean and offers a beautiful view of the city. We walk without maps and enjoy the old buildings. Loved the narrow streets of the Jewish quarter, the mosques and, of course, the old churches. Start in the morning when it is still nice and cold and finish your visit with a nice lunch at a small taverne or at one with a view in the port.
