A great half day tour taking including a visit to the weekly market. We visited 2 local cafes and the gardens. The food was really good and there was plenty of it so I'd recommend skipping breakfast! Our guide, Anna was extremely knowledgeable having grown up in Rethymno. My only slight criticism would be that when we were dropped off by taxi at the meeting point, our guide was not wearing a Loci Tours uniform so we were hanging around waiting for her, when she was actually stood a few yards away waiting for us!
