Customer Reviews
Was a great day. Learned a lot. Ate a lot. Had a lot of fun.
Hi highly recommend this. Alex was an amazing guide and so very knowledgeable. The hosts of the house were welcoming and opened their lovely house and heritage to us. This trip was the highlight of Chania for us.
I cannot say enough good things about this cooking class! It exceeded my expectations in every way. Our tour guide, Alex, was the absolute best. He gave us a lot of information about Crete & was very charismatic, friendly, welcoming, and funny. The mom and son who owned the property we went to were also absolutely amazing. It’s gorgeous up there & we even got to feed sheep! The food was delicious, and it was soooo much fun! I went in shoulder season, and I had an issue with booking tours, others in our group had the same experience. Other tours cancelled last minute, but this tour, they were AMAZING with communicating and you MUST book this tour especially if you go in the off season. The group was so intimate & my best experience on the island for sure. We were all laughing and drinking and cooking together and felt like a true Greek experience. Thank you!!!!!
