“Interesting to see and speak with the makers of olive oil, raki and wine in Crete. Pickups and drop-offs were on time and convenient. Alex at Cretan Dragon Farm was entertaining and informative, offering us some dragonfruit herbal tea and olive marmalade to try alongside olive oil, the olives themselves, and a yoghurt bergamot dessert. The lady at the raki stop - a very small family-run operation - was passionate and friendly, letting us sample lots of wines and liqueurs as well as her raki. Then the visit to Titakis Winery gave insight into how a bigger wine producer operates and we tasted three wines with a couple of food…”

Spyros went above and beyond any other tour guide we had on the trip, he really enjoys his job and Crete and brought us that energy. We would 100% recommend a tour with him, we hope to see him again next time we visit Crete. He made sure that even things that weren't on our itinerary but on our must see list we got to see and he stopped to get us olive oil and lunch.”

We had a coffee together and he recommended some shops and restaurants. As we walked, he talked about the history of Albania and was clearly passionate about his job. We loved the vibrant market and the secret statues. Highly recommended.”

“Diena pilna įspūdžių. Smagi kelionė pakeliui į vietinių gamintojų vietas su humoro ir patarimų negailėjusiu vairuotoju.😊 Labai malonus muilo parduotuvėlės savininkas, buvo įdomu pamatyti kaip gimsta muilas, bei kokį procesą jis turi praeiti, kokius ingredientus naudoja ir kodėl. Gavome ne tik galimybę įsigyti kokybiškų gaminių, bet ir susipažinti su šeimos istorija. Alyvuogių aliejaus gamykloje taipogi gavome progą susipažinti su savininku, išgirsti istoriją apie iš kartos į kartą perduodamo verslo istoriją bei galimybę paragauti skirtingų alyvuogių aliejų ir atskirti kokybišką aliejų nuo nekokybiško. Dieną užbaigėme vietinėje vyno bei raki gamintojo namuose. Čia taipogi susipažinome su jų g...”
