A wonderful tour! We had such a good time! Our driver was wonderful. She shared her home with great pride, telling us stories, and answering our questions. The vineyard was so much fun, and the tasting was amazing! Our food at the taverna was so good! They cooked their own chickens and used produce from their own gardens. I could have used more time at the Palace, but that’s just me. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour!

Enjoyable and great variety Really enjoyable day. We really appreciated switching up our activities due to the bad weather and taking extra care not to get us wet. Recommend all the activities, all small scale local businesses and not large tourist attractions. Enjoyed seeing the soap making process and the lovely products. The olive oil tasting was interesting and delicious. One of the highlights was Leo and his family vineyard, hearing his stories and especially tasting the delicious wine. To finish the day we had a delicious and filling lunch. Yammas!

Brilliant Tour to Experience Crete This tour was a great way to experience Crete in a day - had a bit of everything, history, olive oil, wine, raki and village lunch. Really good value way to see all these things. The trip was a lot of fun! Yannis our driver was a laugh and made us all feel welcome. Especially loved the family run winery, Leo and his family also made us feel very welcome there, great wine too. Village lunch also delicious. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Experience the culture and support small Greek Family businesses The Karapidakis family winery welcomes you into their home. Fantastic wine too. The olive oil was a formal tour, good to learn how olive oil is made. Encourage you to learn about Knossos before arriving or pay for a guide at the gate to understand what you are seeing. Overall a highlight of our vacation.

Perfect from start to finish What an absolute highlight of our trip! From start to finish, this tour exceeded every expectation. The team was completely punctual, super kind, and never once rushed us—they truly wanted us to soak in every moment. Visiting the local producers gave us a real taste of the island's heart and craftsmanship, and finishing up at a lovely local tavern with amazing food and wine was the cherry on top. If you want an authentic, unhurried, and deeply memorable experience, do not miss this tour! Our group was full of lovely and interesting people, we got very lucky there and even have a whatsapp group now. Shout out to Tony, who not only is a great driver but delightful company.

Extremely good value for money trip We booked this trip with Local Trips 4U on spec and the service we received from start to finish was exceptional, we will be using them again in the future. The trip started with a visit to a boutique soap factory, followed by a trip to an olive oil factory and local vineyard for tasting finished off with a delicious freshly cooked lunch at a local village. All in all a perfect day out

Incredible day What an incredible day We started off with the Olive Mill which was lovely, it was really interesting to learn about the production and the olive oil tasting was great. It was the first time I have done this kind of experience and it did not disappoint The winery tour however stole the show. What a wonderful family run winery. The family were so welcoming and it was heartwarming to learn of the history and the connection to the local community. The wine was also fantastic The lunch to finish was just the icing on the cake. All the food was really tasty and we all left with full bellies and warm hearts This trip was the highlight of the holiday

Amazing small group tour! My wife and I had a blast! Our driver and guide Tony was fantastic! He is very knowledgeable about local history and culture which was so helpful between each of our stops. He is also incredibly friendly and welcoming which made the trip so much fun. The small group format is the way to go! We had 2 other couples in our group and it was so cool to get to share this experience with others from slightly different cultures. 10/10!
