“Incredible tour! Myself and my mum were fortunate enough to have an unintentional private tour as it was just the two of us. Our driver Alex was invaluable, so friendly and knowledgeable and couldn’t do more for us. The tour stops themselves were amazing and Alex checking up on how we were was so lovely. I would recommend anyone who comes to Crete to book the wine tour through this company as it fully exceeded our expectations!”

“It was a wonderful day of travel. Learned a lot of history and fun facts about Crete. Went places we would never have gone on our own. Bought olive oil and wine from our tastings. Orchard does not ship to America though. Lunch has amazing food. Was also able to ask about recommendations for the rest of our trip as far as beaches, restaurants and other activities, so we would suggest booking this excursion at the front end of your trip. Don’t forget to ask about Greek wedding culture. 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️ Highly recommend this company/trip. Loved our guide. He took very good care of us and our daughter was delighted he…”

The rest of our stay on the island we kept telling our friends ( who were unable to go on the excursion) about different things we had learned from George. We enjoyed all stops- the hermit’s cave, the olive oil place, the winery and of course the wonderful lunch with scenic views. One of the members of our group said it was the best tour they have been on!”

Nicolaos was a great and engaging guide and we felt completely safe in his hands on the rather "exciting" mountain roads.”
