Great tour!

This tour was fantastic. It covered the history of Chania from the pre-Minoan to the current period. Tatiana was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and interesting. The Olive factory and tree were also fascinating. I highly recommend!

Our guide, Tatiana, was outstanding. She is intelligent, articulate, earnest, and excited to share not only ancient history of the city, but more recent, and even lots of tidbits about present day culture. The olive oil mill portion of the tour is not to be missed.
