GREAT tour: Olive oil, music, dance and food - Excellent tour. More than punctual. The location outside downtown Heraklion is just perfect for this kind of tour. We were shown the olive oil production process, we had a great LIVE show/music, we were able to dance and the food was quite good. The views were very good.

"Oil" give it a go!! - The trip around the olive oil factory was interesting if a bit crowded and noisy. We had a soap production demo and a chance to sample the products as we were led around the shop as usual in these type of places! The food and unlimited wine was actually very nice and LOTS of it, a good variety of dishes and flavours and no complaints from me there! The dancing and music, to my ears, was definitely cheesy and typical and the dancers could have looked a bit happier to be there at times! Although I chose not to dance many others did and from the looks on most of their faces they were having a whale of a time including my wife who bounced and two-stepped her way around the dance area for a good while!! . Nice staff, good hospitality and an evening that I really can't complain at for the money! . Would I book again? In all likelyhood I probably would! It was fun and a nice way to spend an evening!

RIp Off ! MIssold the trip - Paid £104.44 for 2 people in advance. NO Soap production or RAKI production as put in the description. OVERPRICED AND NOT WORTH THE MONEY ! Rang and emailed them re the trip and owner failed to recognise or admit. Couldnt hear the Honey demo as such a large group and demonstrator didnt speak loudly enough. Best not to book and pay through this medium. Really only paid for the meal. Dessert was fruit and Cretan dumplings. Try to get at a cheaper price as apparently only one farm runs this. The Olive Oil production was well explained. The dancing with a young boy was nice. Really could have provided more entertainment and better service. Below average service and trying to cut costs. Spent a lot in their shop - sad that the owner didn't apologise. Got a lift home early.
