    My wife and I booked this last minute from our cruise ship. What a find!! Marina, our hostess, was personable, professional and funny. Not only did she explain why the food was paired with each wine, she explained the richness and uniqueness of Cretan culture. I really had no idea before today what an amazing place Crete is. I fully intend to come back and visit for a longer trip. Rest assured - Marina and Alex of ecobike tours will be one of our first activities next time. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in good food and wine mixed with a better understanding of the culture.

    This tour was so much fun! I went with three of my friends and we had a blast! We don't know much about wine but were really excited to learn and Alex was so wonderful! He was super informative as well as funny and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Would definitely book again.

    As it was our first day in Crete, my wife and I thought we’d ease into things gently with a civilised wine tasting hosted by a local. We arrived at the venue — which looked more like someone’s office than a vineyard — to find a dinner table set and ready. Slightly confused but curious, we took our seats. Enter Alex, our host, who was immediately warm, witty, and the perfect blend of sommelier and stand-up comic. He broke the ice by asking the all-important question: were we wine buffs or wine duffs? After confessing our loyalties, he chose two reds, two whites, and a rosé to guide us through the world of Cretan wine. What followed was meant to be a one-hour tasting… but quickly spiralled into a riotous, raki-fuelled evening of laughter, new friends, and far too many toasts. I honestly couldn’t tell you a thing about the wine — but I can say with certainty that it was one of the most fun and unexpected nights we’ve had on holiday. Huge thanks to Alex for turning strangers into friends and wine into hilarity. It was a truly unforgettable evening — or at least, the parts I can remember.
