Petras was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgable about wine, cuisine, history, and culture of Crete. The wines were outstanding, food delicious, and the views outstanding. Highly recommend!

Book this tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

If you only do one thing in Heraklio then do this! The tour was very easy to book online ahead of time. A final email was sent out two days in advance of the tour providing pickup location (our hotel is in a pedestrianised location). Pierre arrived on time and we kicked off. Seven hours later we arrived back having ticked off two wineries, about 15 tastings and a fantastic restaurant for lunch in Arhanes. Everyone we met was genuinely friendly and very helpful. Pierre has a very easy charm. He knows a lot about food and wine. He even gave us some advice on how to brine our own olives back home. The tour is very reasonably priced considering the wines, food and Pierre’s time are all included. We can’t thank Pierre enough. The day spent with him was fantastic and gave us a real insight into Cretan wine.

Awesome

A fantastic trip around the wineries with a fantastic guide. Peter was a master of his craft. He kept us all interested from start to finish.
