5.00Would definitely recommend this private tour. It was an interesting trip and we learned so much about the process of olive oil production, from the olive groves to the production plant to tasting the olive oil. I will not forget the oil is squeezed from the fruit ! Finishing with preparing our own meal with oil olive. Then relaxing by Nico’s (our very knowledgeable guides) families garden allotment that was growing most of the ingredients. It is possibly the best traditional Cretan experience you could wish for. Thank you to all who made it so special.

5.00Our 3rd time in Crete but this was by far our favourite and best day out. We were looked after superbly by Nikos, he was full of interesting information and went out of his way to make our day so much fun. We really enjoyed following the olive from grove to factory to bottle and finally to food. The meal we helped Katrina to cook was so simple but absolutely delicious. Exceptional tour, would highly recommend
Deep insight and a grand tour.

5.00Nikos is not just any tour guide. He is a tour guide with extensive knowledge about olives and the production of olive oil. We did not learn anything familiar and were allowed to cook together at the end and understand the differences in oils during the tasting. Thank you for the eventful day! Best regards, Christian
Learning about olive oil and great Cretan hospitality

5.00We had a great experience on the olive trail today. Everything was done at a slow pace giving us a chance to soak up the atmosphere, first of the olive trees then of the local factory and then the lovely food preparation and eating. Nikos is the perfect host and is passionate about olive oil. I learned so much. Definitely recommend this special trip made all the more special for me when the group learned that it was my birthday.
Olive oil excursion of dreams!

5.00The highlight of our trip!!! We had such a nice day with Nikos walking through the olive trees and learning about the full process. We got a full tour of the factory as well and got to see firsthand how much effort is put into creating olive oil. We then went to this beautiful area where we made Cretan specialities and ate it in the garden which was so peaceful and delicious. We got to do an olive oil tasting and learned how to truly do it correctly and what to look for when purchasing olive oil. It was such an informative day, we had the best time, and Nikos is the best guide! Even Nat Geo gives this tour the stamp of approval. Don’t hesitate and book!

From the grove to the table

5.00This was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to the Elounda coast in July. We booked the Olive Trail through our TUI operator and really enjoyed it. From learning the full journey of olive oil — right through to visiting the processing unit — to strolling through the beautiful groves, it was both fascinating and relaxing. Lunch was a real highlight: we helped prepare it ourselves, then enjoyed a delicious feast paired with an olive oil tasting where we learned how to spot exceptional olive oil. Our host, Nikos, was welcoming, knowledgeable, and full of passion, which made the whole experience unforgettable.
Educational, intimate, immersive and delicious!

5.00This was an exceptionally intimate, immersive, cultural experience that exceeded expectations and capped our trip to Crete. Nikos happened to be at our hotel the night we arrived offering samples of his family’s products. He wasn’t pushy or sales/y but very informative. He offered to personally pick us up and return us at the hotel the next day for the full tour and lunch experience. He did do, along with a family of 3 from another hotel. The walk and education the olive grove was so informative, then Ed toured the production facility, and then the real highlight - an afternoon of Raki and olive oil at his family’s country cottage while we made delicious dishes from his family’s vegetable garden, learning and laughing. Highly recommend to understand this important cultural tradition.
