Old Town Chania Highlights - Express Walking Tour

Nikolina developed a fabulous tour for our group of ten exploring Chania's amazing history and culture. She helped with so many little details--everything from where to park, to finding a delicious coffee, to rescheduling our lunch reservation. The tour was so interesting--including great stories and attention to little details that illustrated the city's Venetian and Ottoman influences, as well as explaining the details of the city's beautiful Greek Orthodox cathedral and its synagogue. It was also a unique experience to talk with a local knife craftsmen and to see his knife-making shop in action. When the tour was over, we felt like pros wandering the city, visiting shops, and appreciating its beauty and history. Thanks for a great tour!

The tour with Nikolina, was wonderful! she was warm, engaging and knowledgeable. I loved walking around the old alleys, hearing about old legends and the history of the city. Also appreciated her suggestions about where to get the best bites or where locals prefer to go! Truly an afternoon to remember! thank you

I cannot recommend Nikol highly enough! From the moment the tour began, her passion, knowledge and love of Chania was obvious. She brought each location to life with fascinating stories and historical insights. Nikol is a tour guide who is charismatic and passionate, look no further. We have used Tours by Locals numerous times in many different places, all were great. This was by far one of the best experiences. Thank you Nikol bringing Chania to life.

There are not enough words to describe our tour with Nikol. It was a perfect day from beginning to end. She is kind and very knowledgeable. She got me some fried snails. That’s right and they were just deiish. We did the monastery wine and olive oil tasting. Amazing!!!! My wife is in a wheelchair and between the great driver George and Nikol we did what needed to be done to complete a beautiful day. I highly recommend Nikol no joke she’s the bomb

A very efficient and fun to get an introduction to Chania and an overview of the fascinating history of Crete. Our guide covered everything from architecture to where the locals eat!

Very much enjoyed the tour with Nikolina. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the old town of Chania.
