This was a wonderful way to spend several hours walking through the city. Our awesome guide , Elena shared her extensive knowledge of the city and the local food we would be enjoying. We sampled local cheeses, tasted local olive oils, honey and pastries. We really enjoyed the delicious dinner- all dishes of Crete. Elena had interesting and fun information about the dishes we were served. We’ll give Elena a 10 star. She knowledgeable, interesting and so personable. A terrific person to spend time with!
We really enjoyed this evening. The tour took us to sample Cretan food and produce across Chania. We tasted a real range of food from cheeses , olive oils ,honeys and excellent Kalitsounia's. Finished off in a locals taverna for a meze . But, the passion of Kostas our guide for both Crete and its food made the evening . It was an excellent , informative and tasty night in Chania. We learned so much not just about the the islands produce but about it's the way of life and people . If your travelling into Chania prepare for a three hour evening but well worth it.
Sometimes you get great food, sometimes you get good company and sometimes you get good insight. For this tour it's a treble of tasty food, wonderful guide and local information. Kostas made this a very enjoyable evening and we got to try various local specialities, with the evenings penultimate stop the highlight - a feast of mezzes and a beer to wash it down at a local taverna. My wife was pregnant and Kostas made every effort to reassure us before booking on the safety and then continually showed consideration during the tour. It could have ended up with her tagging along and being hungry but she could eat everything and somehow we found the balance of just enough walking to see different areas without over-doing it. Clearly this tour is professionally planned. Also, shout out to Elena who only added to the evening and the camaraderie. We'll be following along on Instagram!

You will enjoy the tastes of the Chania and discover hidden gems in the form of shops and markets that do not disappoint! I would take this tour again and again!
My family ended up taking this tour on our vacation to Crete, and it absolutely was a highlight! Kostas went above and beyond to give our group the best time. He was very knowledgeable, and the food was excellent and diverse. He was so personable, connecting us to other families in our group so that we could all get to know each other. It made for the perfect evening and environment. Our family will be talking about this for a long time!
