They Said About Us...

I went with a few friends and we had a lot of fun. I loved the narrow alleys that we had to navigate and how the clues were setup. We had the guide with us for help if needed but we were really good so we didnt need much :) The little food prizes we had were so tasty but I wanted more! Overall it was a great experience and I'm looking forward to another game next year. Especially if is run by Virginia. Thank you!
Sephiroth, Treasure Hunting in Rethymno Old Town: Pirates Vs Corsairs
This tour was beyond amazing to say the least. Victoria and Nik are the perfect tour guides. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Ask them anything. Very relaxed and not rushed from one spot to the next. The restaurant/food choices are perfect. The walk through and around the shops give you a look into old Crete. There isn’t a single bite that will disappoint with a wonderful treat at the end.

Matthew, Traditional Food Tour in Rethymno
We went on the trip july 2024, and we had a nice walk with Virginia, who took us through several nice Tavernas and bakeries. We tasted several traditionel greek dishes, desserts and wine. Virginia explained a lot about greek traditionens and the history of the city of Rhetymnon. We can highly recommend this tour for those who visit Crete for the first time and those who have a good knowlegde of Crete. Think you from Thomas and Louise, Denmark

Hele leuke tour gehad met een gids waar de passie en liefde voor het eten van afstraalt. Ze wist ook veel te vertellen over het eten en het heeft ons een goed beeld gegeven van de griekse (kreta) keuken. Zeker een aanrader! Tip: Eet niet te veel van te voren want wij zaten erna pauper vol :)

C'était incroyable ! Virginia est tellement adorable. Nous avons fait le tour de la ville, tranquille au travers de super adresse choisies avec soins. Nous nous sommes régalés et nous retournons même manger dans les adresses conseillées. C'était tellement délicieux qu'on ne peut pas s'en empêcher. Mon compagnon parle peu l'anglais et elle a fait l'effort de lui parler le plus possible en Français. Un véritable amour, merci beaucoup pour tout Virginia
Marion, Rethymno Old Town: A Traditional Cretan Food Tour
Diese Tour war großartig und nochmal besser als erwartet! Ich hatte so einen netten Abend mit meinem Tourguide Virginia und den anderen Gästen der Tour. Das Essen war super. Die besuchten Restaurants und Geschäfte waren auf den ersten Blick alle sehr unauffällig - aber das Essen dort kann sich sehen lassen! Ich durfte also die ganzen geheimen Perlen Rethymnos kennenlernen und dort locale Köstlichkeiten probieren. Die Tour war jeden Cent wert - und noch viel mehr! Es fühlt sich an als hätte ich eine Freundin auf Kreta gewonnen. Ich wünsche Virginia und Filiko Tours nur das Beste! Danke, danke, danke für alles!

Virginia went out of her way to make this tour special for us. She thoughtfully selected every restaurant and had great variations of food from more unique items to more home style options. The route was easy to follow and avoided some high traffic areas. Virginia not only showed us greek cuisine but focused on Cretean cuisine which I appreciated. The conversation was lovely. I highly recommend this tour!
