My wife and I were looking to make the best of our time on Crete and fortunately I found Chania Experience Tours. From my first contact all the way through to the conclusion of our day he responded promptly, professionally and patiently as we tried to decide what to do. In the end we simply relied on him and he delivered an amazing day! Some secret spots, a honey tasting, monastery, beach time and an amazing lunch all in a day. With it being just us it was a relaxed day at our pace. Whether you already know what you want to do or, like us, simply rely on him, Yiannis will ensure you have the best day!. Loved hearing the stories and seeing his family history

This is a tour well worth booking Gianni’s knowledge on the History of Crete and told us all about the history of his family. We visited Elafonisi Beach, the Monastery, some did snorkelling in a cove then a lovely fresh fish restaurant to finish owned by his relatives. Superb day.

We arrived in Crete on a cruise ship, with only a limited amount of time to explore the island so we wanted to make the most of it. This tour was a unique experience. In just one day we visited from the most picturesque tourist spots to the hidden gems, less crowded and absolutely charming. The logistics suggested were flawless (the perfect amount of time for each location) and the guide was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and responsive to all our questions and requests. He even provided everything we needed for the beach and treated us to fresh beverages after each stop. If you want to experience Crete like a local and see both its famous landmarks and secret treasures, this is the perfect choice!
