    It's a scam!

    It was very difficult to get there. We waited for an hour. Nobody showed up at the meeting point, nobody answered the phone when we called. Don't go there, it's a scam!

    Not up to usual Viator standard but fun!

    Been on many Viator trips and fantastic but this one didn’t seem true to reviews. There were mentions of excellent guide called Alex and lengthy tour. We had Maria the owner show us briefly dragon fruit and olive trees with minimum explanation. No official guide and no one asked to see tickets. Tasting of jams, fruit and tea was fun. Obviously didn’t cost much but… think I’d read somewhere entry free so not sure what advantage of going through Viator was if no Viator guide. Be warned clicking on location link via Viator app takes you about a mile away. We had reset the location via address and then was more accurate. Hasn’t deterred me using the company for other trips and would recommend but I had higher expectations😂

    Poor communicators and fraudulent charges

    We had a terrible experience. We showed up at our scheduled booking, no one was around and the gates were closed. We walked around the neighborhood to try and find anyone, no one was there. We tried calling, no answer. Finally, someone exited the home/building and informed us that tours were cancelled due to weather. No one had attempted to contact us to inform us of this, which in itself was frustrating because we wouldn’t have wasted €50 on cab fare to get there. She told us to request a refund on Viator, so we submitted a request only for the owner to deny it! Even though no services were provided! Viator’s customer service has been unhelpful- they said they can’t reverse the decision without operator approval. All we wanted was our refund because the tour was cancelled by them. So be aware, this place may be closed, not inform you in advance, have you waste time and money to travel out there, and still charge you for the tour that you never got to go on.

    Amazing experience

    Alex was incredibly knowledgable regarding his farm. He is very attentive to all in attendance and is is a good explainer. He made it easy to understand the history behind olives and dragon fruit whilst answering everyone’s questions. Great value for money and would highly recommend to anyone travelling to Crete.

    Fab experience

    Really lovely way to spend an hour or two. Very informative and interesting. Various bits and bobs growing there. Made the error of having lunch just before we went in the village up the road so literally couldn’t face all the lovely things to taste after the tour so go hungry!!!

    Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.

    How much does Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Heraklion is not rushed.

    Is Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 63 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour?

    +

    Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Heraklion can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Heraklion within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Heraklion?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Heraklion?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Heraklion?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Coffee (Greek or Espresso). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour?

    +

    When you enter Aghiou Alexandrou Str. you continue straight until you reach our sign DRAGON FARM CRETE you go RIGHT up the hill for only 50 meters and you will find our parking space on your right hand side. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Heraklion Olive Grove and Dragon Fruit Farm Private Tour if the weather is bad?
