“George was an INCREDIBLE host and driver for the evening. We both had a fantastic time and felt it was worth every penny. There are multiple stops along the way with stunning settings for photos. George was instrumental in encouraging everyone to capture the moments, with his own photography skills highly commended. The evening meal was at a great local authentic Greek tavern, which also accommodated vegan options within the food offered. We would not hesitate to recommend this experience to someone else! P.s. we would recommend bringing some cash to buy the olive oil and honey along the journey.”

Join Petros, also known as Pierre on some departures, for an eight-hour Cretan food and wine tour from Heraklion. Visit two wineries in Archanes and Peza, taste about 15 wines, sample olive oil and local products, and finish with a generous lunch paired with wine.

“Excellent wine tour. Two wineries. One very small, possibly the smallest I've visited anywhere. The other fairly commercial. Both good in their own way. Then the lunch at a shop/restaurant in Archanes. Tried around 16 wines. Most were to our liking, just a couple not. Pierre was an excellent guide, full of information about Cretan and other wines. Lunch was not huge, you'll probably want to eat again in the evening, if that is part of your value judgement. Overall, it was great to discover Cretan wines, we will look upon them favourably in future.”

Pour combler le « temps », les touristes étaient tous invités à danser sur la scène. Une chanteuse intervenait également pour combler le temps.”
