One of the best tours

What a fun experience!! Russo and Manos were the best. We learned so much about the history and archtecture, besides the stores and restaurants. We were able to take breaks when we needed.
Chania through the eyes of a local?

Our guide was friendly and courteous. He was also knowledgeable of Chanian history and culture. We felt the excursion was more a standard tour than a “chance to see Chania through the eyes of a local”. That may have been an unrealistic expectation on our part. As a tour, it was fine.
The heart of Chania!

Roussus was amazing. His passion for Crete and Chania was evident and his knowledge of people, history, buildings and food and drink were remarkable. He provided information that interested the parents and the young adults! Truly a highl light of our trip to Crete!
Excellent way to see Chania Town

We were on a cruise and booked this tour instead of booking a large tour with the ship. What a great idea! Seeing the town from a local’s perspective by foot was perfect! It’s a big town, but we’ll worth this tour. A lot of walking - not for the immobile. I would suggest having the tour guide end the tour somewhere near the waterfront for a nice lunch on your own. 5-Stars!
Take This Tour!

SO glad we walked Old Town Chania with Antonis!! He was personable, knowledgeable, flexible (made many shopping stops for us) and just a lot of fun. We would not have enjoyed Old Town half as much on our own. Also very helpful with tips for restaurants based on our preferences. You will regret doing this town without Antonis and this tour. Do it!!
Great Walking Tour

My wife and I really loved our walking tour of Chania's Old Town. It is a lot of walking, so be prepared for that. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. She was very enthusiastic about Crete's history and mythology. We saw a lot of things we would not have if we'd walked around the old city on our own for a much longer period of time. Really liked it. Also I want to give her credit, but I've met so many people lately that I'm blanking (she was an artist and had lived in Athens just before coming to Crete). But we were the 5pm tour on July 7th. Anyway, I'd highly recommend this tour. Get the most out of your trip to Chania's Old Town).
Amazing your in Chania’s Old Town with our Young Family!
Giovanni_A, Jul 2023
She was very knowledgeable and as a result we were able to explore the city and learn all about its rich history. She was also extremely patient with our young 3 children, so much so that our kids took a liking to her. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn about Chania’s Old Town.
Charnia
SARA_G, Jun 2023
We never took the tour. Our cruise the princess didn't dock in Charnia. We never knew that there were 2 ports, nobody advise us of that. We were stranded on Crete and had to go back to the ship. We have asked for a refund which I hope will be credited to my card ASAP
