Harry was the best! - Our guide, Harry, was amazing! He was so personable, knowledge and funny. He made us feel comfortable when asking questions, shared the culture and was a true representation of the kind Cretan people.

A very special experience - We had a very informative and interesting day. Our guide was giving us a lot of information on history and the life of local people. Very much appreciated! We visited places where we would not have arrived by ourselves. The old vilages are like from a different time. The vinary and the olive oil factory reflect beautifully the history of wine and oil production on the island, from the old times using ancient technology until the present time, where they are using modern automated installations. The car was an older jeep, withoult air conditioning, but because the driving speed is not so high on Crete, we could drive all the time with windows open, which made the drive pleasant.

Highly recommend - Really good trip for the day. Highly recommend. We were picked up from the hotel with a Land Rover, went wine tasting, olive oil tasting (best olive oil I ever had, bought 5 l of it) and than we had o great meal up in the mountains at a little local taverna

A wonderful trip, with a great guide for the day.... - Our driver Panos was a fantastic guide for the day. We had a mixed group of English and Germans, and he shared his tremendous knowledge of the island of Crete, and of the sights on the tour, moving effortlessly between the English and German language. We enjoyed the behind the scenes tour at the winery, along with the wine tasting of course, and then we went off road in the Land rovers on the route to the monastery. This was entertaining, and provided some incredible sights over the lands and mountains. The monastery was pleasant, again providing some good photo opportunities. The next stop was the Olive farm which was really interesting to see how the old methods of production compare to the current methods, and then finally on to the restaurant for our meal, which was an authentic Cretan hamburger with some bread and salad. It was really tasty. Panos made the day for us. He is a credit to the company, and did a fantastic job in educating us on the delights of Crete.

Countryside & Tastes of Crete - This was a great way to experience some of the countryside near Rethymno via the team at Uncharted Escapes. We set off from our pick up point, close to our hotel, looking forward to a day of sights and tastes of this part of Crete. Our first stop was Klados winery, a small vineyard for a tour & tasting (breakfast wine, anyone? 😄) before jumping back in the Land Rover for a bit of bouncing around to reach Vosakos Monastery for panoramic views. The drive was made all the more enjoyable with our entertaining guide providing good information on the local plants, especially the cultivation of olives (this farmer has done well, this one…not so much etc.!) After the Monastery, it was on to the olive oil factory for an informative tour & tasting, and then a short (2 minutes!) drive to Melidoni for lunch at a pleasant taverna and an introduction to Dakos 😋 before we returned back through villages and the coast road back to our hotel, back in plenty of time for dip in the pool to reflect on a day well spent. 🙂

Very nice day - The entire tour was fun and talked to each other extensively by a super enthusiastic driver / guide. The depth of both tastings was not that much and we only tasted 3 wines. Lunch was very good again.
