Chania Town, Gorge and Cretan Landscape Full Day Tour

We had a pleasant day of touring with George. We visited a beautifully tended war cemetery for primarily British Empire soldiers from the Second World War. We had a pleasant stroll through the old town where we sampled (and purchased) local olive oil, pistachio butter and pistachio liqueur. Afterward we took a scenic drive through the gorge to the village high in the mountain s. There we were shown the sights and enjoyed a lovely lunch. Afterward we had time to drive to a beautiful overlook of the entire bay and city, prior to rejoining our ship. Roger was knowledgable, personable and flexible. All in all, a great outing.

George was amazing. His English was perfect with just the right amount of Greek accent. Our day was completely customized for our interests and likes. He allowed us to decide how we wanted to view each attraction. His knowledge of Crete and Greece history was extremely valuable and made our day a history lesson. George allowed us insight into his life and his family. George took us to his favorite restaurant in a small mountain village. The food was authentic greek and reasonably priced. We were able to sit outside and watch the children and village activity. Be sure to let George order for you as his years living in US and UK gives him insight into the line between our likes and available Greek food. Be sure to try the fresh Orange Juice. Nothing like you have ever had before. Their oranges are much less acidic and are very sweet. We hope your day with George is as perfect as ours. John and Debbie from Oklahoma

My 22-yr old granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of Chania and the surrounding area. The tour was very special because of our tour guide, George T. Chania Old Town was fun as we learned about the history, architecture, local culture while wandering through quaint narrow streets. Also, we got in a bit of shopping in local craft shops. Beautiful scenery as we traveled up through the gorge (dodging goats along the way!) to great panoramic views and many photo ops. The highlight was our delightful lunch at an amazing restaurant in a small village. George selected a variety of fresh local dishes for us to try (family style) ...featuring delicious meats - goat, lamb and pork. George was an excellent guide, professional, personable and very accommodating. If you ever visit Chania on the island of Crete...contact George T! Thank you, George, for an amazing day!

This is an awesome tour. if i could give it 6 stars i would. the reason is we loved how george took us to all the lovely local places to eat and shop.he was very professional. crete is my favorite greek island and once again, it didn’t disappoint. when we come back here we’d contact george again to help us.

George was an outstanding guide. He gave us a great tour of Chania and then took us into the back country to some beautiful landscapes. His choice of a family owned farm/resturant in the hills of Crete was perfect and the entire experience there was amazing. Highly recommend him as your guide.

George took great time, care, and energy to create for me two customized, meaningful, enjoyable, and simply beautiful experiences in and around Chania, on Crete. He is a thoughtful, kind, warm, and generous human being whose deep knowledge of the area, as well as history and culture of Greece in general, is a true gift. I absolutely LOVED the stories, details of history, and background George was able to provide. Meeting his colleagues and friends along the routes was a particular joy! Spending time with George was a pleasure and honor--and I absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a life-shifting and fascinating look at the known and only-known-to-locals sites in Greece. Beautiful tours, experiences, and guide, all. My deepest thanks, George--and I look forward to staying in touch with you--and your beautiful country.
