Beautiful ride

Manos was a wonderful guide; we enjoyed a three-hour walk through Chania where he introduced us to the surprising places in this city. We especially value his personal qualities and his sound advice for continuing our journey.

Wonderful walking tour.

Goldy was our local guide and she was AMAZING!! We learned so much from her and saw so many hidden gems that we would never have found ourselves. 10/10

Wonderful private tour

Our tour guide Goldy was absolutely wonderful. Her knowledge of the history of old town Chania was very interesting. She took us in out of the way streets that not all tourists get to see. The tapas snacks at the end of the tour were a delicious treat.

Excellent tour ... Excellent guide!

Our guide was Goldy and she was an absolute delight! Not only did she inform us about many topics but she seemed more like a friend than a guide. A must for future travelers!!!

A must-do in Chania!

This was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Goldy, was knowledgeable and passionate about the city. We learned so much walking through the streets that we wouldn’t have otherwise learned. Goldy was kind and lovely, and we ended with some great Cretan food at a spot locals love. Highly recommend doing this during your visit to Chania!

Brought the Old Town to Life

Goldie, our guide, was excellent. She was professional, very knowledgeable, and personable. Prior to the tour we had walked around the Old Town, but Goldie brought the area to life, and took us to interesting and non-touristy areas. My spouse and I feel the benefits far outweighed the cost, and we wholeheartedly recommend the tour.

Great experience

Fantastic morning. Manos was excellent. His knowledge and the way he delivered the information was great. As well as goodtalker he was also a good listener. We learnt so much and more than we anticipated. Would definitely reccommend.
