The best excursion we have experienced in a lovely, personal atmosphere. - This was a lovely experience thanks to the enthusiasm and knowledge of our host, the beautiful countryside and the low-key and very Cretan nature of the place. It is a working olive and bee-keeping enterprise and it was very nice to be invited to learn about this important part of the islands’ life and industry.

Quaint and delicious - This was a great family-owned business that was very nice to visit. The daughter was our tour guide and was very accommodating. The oils and honey are worth the trip. The tasting was very good. We would definitely recommend this tour.

A must do in Crete! - This was incredible and I am so glad we did it! We learned so much and got to enjoy numerous samples of honey. The olive oil is so delicious and we bought so much for such a good price. We loved this experience and was a true highlight of our trip!

Wonderful, informative, and interactive experience - My friends and I already had high expectations for this tour but Mariana still managed to exceed them! She is so knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly. You can tell that she loves what she does. There also is ample food/tastings at the end and it is enough for a mini meal or afternoon snack. The store is amazing too, we all splurged there. You can really tell it’s a family ordeal. Would 10000000% recommend! I came with a group of three people, so consider this review as three identical reviews!
