We had an unexpected change in itinerary and wanted to do something fun in Chania. This was a perfect afternoon activity! Our guide was knowledgeable and it was so interesting to see how olive oil is cultivated and produced. We had a wonderful and informative tasting, and the olive oil snack was delicious. We highly recommend this trip, and had oil shipped back for family gifts!
One of the best things I did in Crete! Fascinating to go from the grove to the machinery to the olive oil tasting. Bill (I won't be able to spell his Greek name) was a WONDERFUL tour guide, answering my question and sharing some of his personal life experience as an olive grower. I went in shoulder season and had the tour to myself. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
Great guide, lovely tour - we learned a lot and had a great time. Naturally, we purchased some delicious olive oil with us home as well.



Interesting tour, friendly host, great olive oil. Not too theoretical, with a touch of Cretan (?) humour. Thanks, Bill !
