Apokoronas tour

A nice way to appreciate the culture of Crete and to share the opinions with others. The guide who was also our driver was very helpful and the group was small so we could have a more personalised experience. In theory you stop at 4 villages as the rest you would see on the way, but it is more than enough to get a feel of the food and traditions of the island.
Great Cultural experence

Demetrius was a fabulous guide. We were not disappointed by these amazing quaint villages. We toured a Raki distillery, Cheese factory, bakery and ate lunch at a local restaurant. We felt like we were family and being welcomed back home. Our guide grew up in the area and he knew so much and shared with us. This was an amazing tour. We had many amazing tours and this was tops!

Wunderbarer Ausflug in die Gegend von Apokoronas

, Oct 2021
Die Tour durch die Dörfer der Apokoronasgegend war sowohl landschaftliche als auch von den Besichtigungen her sehr interessant und schön.
Der Tourguide gab zahlreiche Informationen zur Gegend, zur Geschichte und Kultur Kretas. Er versteht es sehr gut die Gruppe zu unterhalten und Kontakt herzustellen. Ich bin begeistert. Gerne wieder.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
