Amazing tour
Our family absolutely loved this tour! From start to finish, it was such a fun, memorable, and special experience. We were especially impressed with the tour company and with Thanos and Christine, who were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so warm, friendly, and genuinely fun to be around. They made us feel welcome right away and truly went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. There were so many wonderful touches throughout the tour, and the variety of snacks and beverages was fantastic. You could really tell how much thought and care went into every detail. I honestly can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed this experience. It was one of those experiences our family will be talking about for a long time. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something fun, authentic, and truly special!

Breathtaking and informative must do experience.
First class experience.A true private tour…When you book as a “group” even if there are only 2 of you then it will just be you and Angie…Lots of fun facts given and Angie flexible if you want to adjust itinerary.She makes sure you are always comfortable and warned about things we might find challenging…ie the extreme cold of the gorge so we then happily embraced it rather than being shocked! Please be brave and swim to the waterfalls…you’ll regret it if you don’t as a once in a lifetime type experience!

Beautiful, Relaxing & Accessible - Absolutely Worth It
Absolutely lovely tour guide. This was the perfect blend of scenery, history about Greece and Crete, and a relaxing few hours on the best beach we went to!!! If you are looking for a mild activity (we traveled with a grandma with some minor mobility issues) this is the tour for you!!! Couple minutes of rocky walking to the most picturesque view. The rest was total bliss and relaxation!! Can’t forget to mention the AMAZING and delicious lunch we had as well 10/10- highly recommend

Gastronomy tour and wine tasting in traditional villages
Adrianne_C, Sep 2026
We had a great time and highly recommend!
My husband, my best friend, and I went on Yannis’ Gastronomy Tour, and honestly, it was one of the most memorable experiences of our entire trip to Crete!We expected amazing food, but this tour gave us so much more. It was a wonderful journey through the history, culture, villages, and beautiful landscapes of Crete. Yannis took us to places we never would have found on our own, and each stop seemed to have its own fascinating story.We learned about Chania’s beautiful bay, the history of the area, stories involving spies and the old prison, and so much more. The monastery was absolutely beautiful and filled with history. What made everything even more special was having Yannis there to explain the stories and history behind the places we were visiting. You could truly feel how much he loves Crete and how proud he is to share it with others.And then there was the FOOD! 😍 We finished our day at a beautiful lake, where the food and drinks seemed to never stop coming. Everything was delicious, and we happily ate—and ate some more! It was the perfect ending to an incredible day.We laughed, explored, learned, ate an incredible amount of delicious food, and discovered parts of Crete we would never have experienced on our own. We left with full hearts, very full stomachs, and memories that we will talk about for years to come.If you are visiting Crete, do yourself a favor and book Yannis’ Gastronomy Tour! It isn't simply a food tour—it is an experience, a history lesson, an adventure, and a wonderful way to see and taste the real Crete.We cannot recommend it highly enough!

Angie was the absolute best tour guide and the sweetest person! Loved our stops at the Gorge and the swimming area. Lunch was also fantastic! My husband loves history and she entertained him the whole ride back with tons of Greek knowledge! We definitely will look her up next time we are in Crete! Thanks for a wonderful day Angie!

Such a fun way to experience Crete!
We did the quad tour during our honeymoon in Crete and had an absolute blast! It was such a fun change of pace and gave us a completely different way to experience the island.The tour was incredibly well organized, and we felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the entire experience. The scenery was beautiful, the riding was so much fun, and we loved getting away from the typical tourist experience and seeing another side of Crete.We packed a LOT into our honeymoon throughout Greece, and this was definitely one of those experiences that stood out. If you’re looking for something adventurous, memorable, and a little different while visiting Crete, absolutely add a quad tour to your trip.Thank you for such a fun day and another amazing memory from our honeymoon! ❤️🇬🇷

All Inclusive Full-day Private Tour of Crete Villages from Chania

Wonderful Tour Guide
We visited Crete back in June and booked a two-day tour with the lovely Maria. What a joy she was to work with. First, she communicated with us before the trip asking for our preferences and what we were looking for during the tour. She was extremely flexible when we had a delay. She took us around the Chania region and then to Heraklion. She made restaurant recommendations and even helped us find a local guide in Heraklion for the Knossos visit. Her mom made us sandwiches for the day trip. She was a wealth of knowledge and shared her passion and love for Crete, it's rich history and traditions. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with her.

Apostolis is a fantastic guide. He was so accommodating, tailoring our tour to suit the time we could make it and the sights we wanted to see. He arrived on time, great vehicle and a very safe driver. The tour itself was perfect, all of the information we wanted delivered so professionally and not at all dry. Lots of interesting facts only a local (professional historian) can provide, he made history come to life. I highly recommend this tour guide and wish we had time for him to take us on another tour

Wonderful Snorkeling Experience
My wife and I booked this snorkeling experience and had an excellent time! Basil, Andrea and team were very knowledgeable and personable. We had so much fun using the DPV scooters and were able to see so much. On our tour, Andrea was very informed about the local marine life and history and was able to teach us so much about the Souda bay and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea. Both my wife and I were coincidentally stung by jellyfish and Basil/Andrea were able to quickly help take care of us, which we appreciated. We could not recommend this experience more!

An amazing day
An exceptional company.. with great communication and organisation from start to finish. We wanted to visit Elafonisi and Falassarna beaches but did not want to drive. Our guide was Christine and she was wonderful, and Kostas was our driver navigating the mountainous roads with skill. The snack box they provided was tasty and was plenty for the day. There were only 14 people on the trip so it felt very personal and Christine provided great information on culture and history on the journey. I would highly recommend this trip and this company SeaByBus. Thank you for a wonderful day.

2 beaches in 1 day
perfect day with Eleni and Thanos. We wanted to visit the Elafonissi and Falsarna beaches but did not want to drive and this excursion offered the opportunity to do that. We were picked up in a comfortable air conditioned bus and Eleni was our guide and explained the course of the day. A nice snack box was provided in a cooler along with water, beverages, a beach mat and umbrella. We had about 2 hours per beach which was plenty for us since we didn’t want to spend the whole day at one beach. Thanos did the driving and since the road to Elafonisi was quite narrow, we were glad he did the driving instead of us. We also stopped at the Olive museum to see the oldest olive tree which was quite interesting. We were happy to have found this excursion and not have to rely on public transportation to get there on our own.
