A half-day Chania street-food walk with a private guide, Greek coffee, market tastings, raki, and Old Town sights.
“Informative, attentive, and delicious way to explore Chania, its history, culture, and food. Goldie was a terrific tour guide who was eager to share as much information as we wanted to learn about Chania, Crete, and its history. The food stops were delicious and very filling and we left feeling very full and satisfied. Good mix of tastings vs full meals as stops”

Chania at sunset with a sommelier-led wine tasting, raki nightcap, sheep-milk ice cream, and a 3-course organic dinner.
“OMG what a wonderful experience this was. Our guide Adonis, was theatrical, informative and very knowledgeable about Cretan history. The small group setting was a perfect way to feel attended to and pampered. The tour gave us a wonderful way to wonder through less travelled roads/alleyways that lay adjacent to the more touristy areas. And the food was fresh, inventive and delicious! Ending the tour with an island sunset punctuated the evening in the most delightful way. I recommend everyone who comes to Chania do this tour.”

Chania food tour in Crete: ancient olive tree, wood-oven bakery, honey and cheese, winery tasting, then Nopigia beach swim.
“Day trip was excellent, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and transport to and from each location a welcome relief from driving. The olive oil tasting and honey / bee history was very informative (host was so passionate about the process!) and delicious. Cheese and bread tasting also great. The one thing I wouldn’t go back for was the wine tour/tasting. It was a wine factory - a production line rather than speciality. By that I mean there were wines being produced by the 100,000 liters, yet the process of it was rudimentary and wines tasted both immature and depthless. The factory was incredibly dirty - by this I mean…”
Private Chania day trip to Elafonisi and Falasarna beaches plus Vouves olive tree, with tasting, snacks, drinks, Wi‑Fi, and umbrellas.
“Our family of 5 (children 15, 12 and 9 years old) enjoyed a private tour of Elafonisi beach, Falasarna beach and Vouves village. We could not be happier with our experience with the Sea By Bus Explore Crete tour company. The beaches were beautiful and the traditional village visit was a very nice way to experience Cretan culture. But what stood out most was the exceptional service, kindness and warmth of our guides, Christine and Thanasis. They were attentive to all of our needs, were great with our children and coordinated an extremely fun and safe day for our family. The tour bus was clean, well equipped and they even…”
Private 90-minute tasting of 6 Cretan wines in Fres village square with snacks and Andreas, covering varieties, history, and making.
“We had a fantastic time! Andreas was an informative and friendly host and gave us some recommendations on other places to see in Crete. Highly recommend this wine tasting. We also grabbed dinner at the taverna in Fres afterwards, delicious and the staff very friendly.”
Chania countryside food tour with hot-sand Greek coffee, sheep-milk ice cream, olive oil tastings, and two meals with local wines and raki.
“Possibly the best way to learn about a culture is to experience the food. Even better if it's away from the larger populations and fancy restaurants. I had an amazing day exploring parts of Crete I would not have otherwise discovered alone -- with much to learn from the amazing guide, Yannis. I was quite fortunate to be solo on this tour with Yannis -- outstanding person, who I now consider a friend. He will also gladly offer to take many photos of you and your surroundings with your phone :) Regarding the food and drink -- you'll love every bite and wish your stomach was bigger!”
