Such a memorable day with Roula. We picked up a special guide at Palace of Knossos for 100 euros + tip. That made all the difference in understanding the importance of the site and moving efficiently past the lines. Totally worth it. The tavern lunch was unique and delicious. They were waiting for us with a special table. Just my husband and me on this tour. We love winery tours and we learned a few new things. Liked 4 of 5 wines, so that’s amazing. Our only challenge was coming up with a meeting point when arriving in the Port of Rethymno. The pick up point wasn’t in the pre-set list, so that made things a little frustrating for everybody. I did really appreciate their sending a car all the way to get us in rethymno. Roula stepped in at the last minute to lead us and she was a delight.

Lovely tour by Tony for our family of 4 from NYC. Tony was on time and very nice to chat with throughout the car ride to Knossos and to the winery for the tasting and taverna for lunch. The tour was well paced and most of it you are left on your own to tour Knossos. The winery tour is given by someone there which was really nice and not too long. The lunch at a taverna in Archanes was lovely too. Highly recommended if you don’t have your own car and want and easy day where everyone can do the wine tasting and not worry about driving.

Though our guide was a little difficult to find at first (our internet was poor so we didn’t get meeting spot updates, perhaps a name sign would be helpful), Yanni was amazing. We didn’t need the full time at Knossos (plus it was darn hot), so we had the flexibility to choose a museum visit or visit to an olive farm (with tasting) to fill in some of the time we didn’t use at Knossos. We loved that! Wine was tasty and the lunch in Archanes was delicious and plentiful!

Yanni was wonderful for our tour. We wanted a slight change to our tour to include an Olive press farm and he accommodated us with no problem. I would suggest a tour guide at Knossos because it is a large site and difficult to do on your own. We had an excellent lunch at the Olive farm press and at our wine tasting venue. Very informative tour of the winery. Our last stop was local Greek cuisine for a third lunch! It was a full day and Yanni made it very special! I look forward to returning to Crete!!! I highly recommend this tour

We had an amazing experience! We visited Knossos by ourselves and did a self guided tour which was sufficient for us. Our driver, Yanni, then took us to an amazing Raki distillery/winery, lunch at a restaurant that served so much delicious food we were stuffed and then we ended at another wonderful winery with amazing tasting wines! It was a great personalized experience that was well worth the money!
