Great day exploring Cretan food and wine
This was an excellent tour. Our guides were excel Liam’s very friendly. They took us to many great places--we visited specialty shops, 2 wineries, bakery and an Awesome Taberna for a huge lunch, it was a great day and I would have been very hard pressed to find all of these places without a guide. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear Robb, Thank you very much for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your time. Hope to see you again in Crete! Kind regards, Status MLB Team

Fab vineyard and gastro tour
Wonderful guides. Great choice of vineyards. Super and copious bakery snacks to begin with and an little taverna off the beaten track for a late lunch. Pick up and drop off at our AirBnB went without a hitch. Sent us a message with recommendations for our next island too. Recommend without hesitation.

Great food and atmosphere
Our guides: Zhanna and Alyona were the best! They cared so much about our experience. They took the time to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and gave wonderful descriptions about all that we saw. Went went to the Boutari vineyards and Hani for an authentic Cretian lunch at a local taverna. We are already looking forward to going back to Crete!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! We hope to meet you again!

Olive Oil Cosmetic Factory- Spinalonga - Elounda - Agios Nikolaos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Heraklion.
How much does Olive Oil Cosmetic Factory- Spinalonga - Elounda - Agios Nikolaos cost?
+
Prices start at $394 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 Olive Oil Cosmetic Factory- Spinalonga - Elounda - Agios Nikolaos take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Olive Oil Cosmetic Factory- Spinalonga - Elounda - Agios Nikolaos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Olive Oil Cosmetic Factory- Spinalonga - Elounda - Agios Nikolaos?
+
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.

+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Olive Oil Cosmetic Factory- Spinalonga - Elounda - Agios Nikolaos?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Olive Oil Cosmetic Factory- Spinalonga - Elounda - Agios Nikolaos start and how do I get there?
+

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.
