Stelios was amazing. It was a local tour with incredible scenery. The food was great and you really get a feel for what the area has to offer.

Stelio’s was awesome. Takes you to places you typically wouldn’t see and get a true local feel for the island of Crete. Highly recommend!

My husband and I actually extended our stay for a couple of days in order to go on this tour and it was well worth it. Like it says on the title, it felt less like going on an excursion and more like visiting friends and getting a tour of their home. From homemade treats by an ancient church, to a museum of WW2 paraphernalia and an ancient olive tree to go with your appetiser, to being welcomed into a home for a wine taste, to having a complete lunch made of local, fresh ingredients at the village. If you’re interested in Cretan culture, life and soul, you want to go on this. Our heartfelt thanks to Bonnie and Clyde for one of the most unique experiences we had in our vacation.

What a great way to explore Crete! Booked solo and was matched with three other guests, it felt very personal right from the start. Stelios drove us though the mountains into small villages, we ate delicious authentic Creatan food and drank some very unique wine from a local, small batch producer. Definitely no room for more at the end and I have a big appetite. Just driving through the mountains and into villages was an experience on it's own, we even drove along a group of wild goats wandering in the streets. I could not have experienced this on my own, or with any other tour actually. Truly a unique experience I would recommend to anyone interested in discovering the beautiful mountains and villages of Crete, with some great food and wine along the way!

Our guide Stelios is passionate about the Cretan culture and was so happy to share his knowledge with us. We were picked up promptly and taken in his very comfortable vehicle to places we never would have gone. After a short ride, we stopped at an ancient roadside chapel, which we learned is maintained by locals. He took us through the gorge and up into the mountains, where we stopped at a most unusual cafe. The owners prepared a delicious, authentic treat while sharing with us his collection of WW II artifacts that he found locally. The silence was amazing while looking at the thousand year-old olive tree. The hospitality of the local wine maker was wonderful! He was so proud to share his wine, which was delicious, and olives from his own trees. Our next stop was at the local cafe where we had an amazing meal with typical Cretan recipes. There was too much food and wine to finish!! You will not find the places we went or the roads we traveled on any other tour in Crete!

Really great tour with stellios. Great “slow food” experience. Was a really planned day. Highly recommended. Would do again!

A glorious experience for the 3 of us! We flew in to Crete from Athens for one day & selected this amazing tour for our Crete Adventure. It was the BEST DECISION! Driving through the mountains, invited into local homes to sample their wine and olives, getting to experience the real life in Crete, & thoroughly enjoying a fantastic meal at the end of the tour. One of the highlights of our two weeks in the Mediterranean.

Everything went very smoothly in the run up to the day, and communication was good. Stelios, the owner of the tour company, and our guide for the day, was excellent and very friendly. His knowledge of Greek history, culture and food was amazing. He was also able to explain in detail what is different and unique between specifically ‘Cretan’ food, and Greek food in general. In a very comfortable car we drove away from Chania towards the white mountains. It was amazing how quiet and tranquil it feels, away from the busy areas. We visited ancient sites, tiny remote villages, met with small scale producers, trying lots of samples, and then a large and very varied meal cooked by an expert cook. There was also a generous amount of wines to accompany the food. All of this was included in the price of the tour.

We had an amazing time on this food and culture tour in Crete . Our guide, Stelios, was fantastic and really showed us the local life and countryside outside of Chania. We ventured to hidden gems in the White Mountains. These are places that tourists would never find! It was a private tour, which made it even more special. We visited charming family-run local tavern/cafes, sampled local wine and delicious food. We took pictures with a 3,000-year-old olive tree. We also enjoyed an unforgettable wine tasting in a local's home. We are so grateful to Stelios and his behind the scenes preparation with all the local hosts that resulted in this amazing tour with unrivaled warm Cretan hospitality.

Stelios was an excellent tour guide. Each part of the tour included different types of food and local wine. Everything was delicious! The drive up through the mountains and surrounding Chania suburbs was a truly unique experience that we were so happy to have booked.
