Sophia was absolutely amazing! She knew exactly how much information we could soak in st once and she tailored the tour to our liking. She took us into back rooms of churches that the regular population would never uncover. It was an amazing way to start our visit to Chania!
Anna was great. A tour you won't soon forget. Food was really good and Anna is passionate about Chania. Really nice to send a few hours with a local who knows the city so well.
I highly recommend Sophia and woderers. This experience has been staying with me for a long time and still is very present. I got to see the best spots of chania. They are al really passionate, and I feel the heart and the real love they have for the island they love to show. This is a real experience of the autenthic side of Chania.
We do food/history walking tours in every new place we visit. We have done many over the years. This private tour with Sophia by far was the best experience we’ve ever had! We learned so much history, ate delicious local foods ( a lot !!), Tasted local varieties of honey, olive oil, local vines, Cretan Raki with honey. We love Sofia’s energy, her love for her homeland and culture 🫶🏻. She gave us amazing recommendations for things to do, beaches, hikes, restaurants and local taverns, shopping and so much more!! We had recommendations from her to fill our remaining days in Chania, she continued to provide us support and answer any questions even the days after the tour. We appreciated that so much! 🙏🏻. Sophia truly has imade our experience in Chania an unforgettable one! 🙌🏻We Highly recommend this tour!! Do it on the first day or at the beginning of your visit to Chania, you’ll get invaluable information to make the best out of your trip!!
The tour started very well with a greek breakfast, Bougatsa, and from there we went to lots of local shops in Chania. Sophia, the tour guide, is very energetic and knowledgeable, with lots of connections on her tour. She appeared to know everyone on the tour and made sure that we were excellently catered to the entire time. She certainly made our Chania experience fun and interesting. Would definitely recommend if you’re curious about the history of the area and/or wanting to try the local cuisine.
Fabulous food & cultural tour of Chania. Sophia took us around both old and new towns, including family bakeries, restaurants, delis and street food plus a series of great little shops selling everything from handmade leather, pottery & knives to local producers of honey, oil & cheese. It was both a tasty & fascinating insight into the history and people of this wonderful city.
Sofia had our group for a week and showed us all of the local parts of Crete and not just the tourist parts. Sofia’s attention to detail and personality was second to none. I would highly recommend using her services and if I ever return I will definitely use her again.
