Exclusive Private Wine & Olive Oil Tour: Savor & Transform

Our experience was enjoyable and filled with good people, food, and wine! We were picked up from our hotel right on time and were able to meet other people from all over. Our Driver was amazing and funny! He got us where we needed to be safely and filled the car with laughter and great conversation. The wine tour and olive oil tour was also very informational. We enjoyed learning about the processes of wine and olive oil making. It was a lovely time!

The driver was friendly and on time. The olive oil tasting was really not what we expected and we were underwhelmed. The winery tour was good, but the tasting and guide were great. The lunch was good, but the description read more like we would learn about how to prepare Cretan dishes than just a restaurant lunch. We had a nice day overall, but it was not exactly as it was described.

A brilliant, informative, relaxed and friendly tour. Does exactly what it says. A very interesting visit to an olive oil factory and a brilliant tour and wine tasting experience at the winery. An additional, unexpected stop at a family run olive oil soap shop- really friendly and interesting, and delicious food at our lunch stop. The guides were friendly (funny!) and very helpful. A great trip.

Well paced. Spent time at soap making shop, olive oil factory and winery. Hosts/hostess were exceptional. The tavern experience was outstanding. We truly loved the authentic food.

Had a very enjoyable experience and driver was fun and friendly. Communication was a bit confused as we were contacted by the tour operator the day before to change the date with an extra activity included. We replied with some questions as we didn’t mind changing date but weren’t that interested in the extra activity and wanted the original tour and timings but weren’t never got clarification. On pick up it became clear the extra activity was included but with out the answers to our queries we were concerned we may have been changed to an alternative tour and people were being changed between vehicles and we were never sure where we were going next which distracted us a bit and took a little away from the experience but overall was very good, not entirely sure it’s 100% worth the money if you add up what the individual activities would/should have cost plus a reasonable amount for transport but it was still good and I guess you pay a premium for the convenience of having it all organised and coordinated for you. What I will say is the Titakis wine tour and tasting was brilliant and our guide very friendly and knowledgeable. If you do one bit I’d do this and book direct for a much better price. The olive oil part was good and interesting, only criticism is the guide who was also very nice and friendly spoke so fast we couldn’t really process or retain what he was telling us and at many points he was distracted suddenly talking in Greek to staff or on his phone so with the language barrier was hard to decipher when he was talking to us or others. BUT….. the olive oils are amazing and more than make up for it for a Mediterranean/whole food lover I could have taken a whole case full back. The soap making workshop was the unexpected bit and interesting lovely people but wouldn’t have necessarily chosen to include that and wasn’t advertised. The lunch was lovely but not ‘4 course’ as advertised it seems they count the shot sized glass of wine you get with your meal and same of raki as a course and between our group there wasn’t quite enough of cetain dishes or meats for everyone to try. I’m bring very picky as I feel I paid a premium price. Was it good? 100% but do feel if the dropped the price maybe €20 it would feel like much better value for money whilst still undoubtedly profitable for the tour operator

We booked the Olive Oil and Wine Tasting tour and it was great! Definitely got more value out of the experience than we expected. The host, Yannis, was extremely welcoming and entertaining to talk to, and the locals we were visiting during the tour were all extremely hospitable. Highly recommended.

For our last day in Crete, we wanted something in the countryside and lowkey. This was perfect. We visited Cretan Dragon farm. Delightful -Alex was a gracious host. Then a local winery - Fournarakis. Yummy wines. The last winery was a bigger operation - Titakis. Great wines. Lunch was delicious and filling. Manos drove us door to door. An easy relaxing day. The van that he had to drive needed to be updated.

Amazing day, and our guide was fantastic!!! The olive oil tour was very informative and thorough and we loved sampling the olive oil. The wine tour was also great, beautiful grounds and extensive tour of the facilities.

We had a wonderful time - the olive oil farm was very sweet and hosted by a lovely Greek family, we then were driven to the wine tasting where Maria the owner gave us an amazing in depth tour of the facilities and took us through a fascinating wine tasting with 5 different Crete wines - 3 white, 1 rose and 1 red. Followed then by a delicious home cooked Greek meal. Would highly recommend and amazing value for money!

Loved the olive farm and tasting. Grueling unique experience. Tony our guide was informative Enjoyed the winery and excellent lunch
