“Maria picked us up from our hotel and drove us to Rebecca. Very accommodating towards allergies (i noted them in the reservation). We were only me and my husband and another couple, but I think they bought the ingedients for a possible full class, so we had lots of leftovers and were given a doggie bag, which for people sleeping in a hotel and always eating out is a bit tricky to eat those leftovers. But alas, very nice people, nice house, really good food, wine and raki.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 4 reviews · 4 hours

Review of Crete’s private Botanical Garden SUV tour from Chania, with practical advice on transport, costs, timing, walking, and who will enjoy it.

“First off, we have to walk outside of the port for our meeting place to find the driver. I don’t understand why we can’t be picked up as we get out the port where other tours are being picked up. On the way back, we have to wait an hour or so for the driver to pick us up. He said, 30 minutes from the time we call. The driver can’t speak English well so we have to improvise.”
