Gezgin yorumları
The tour was really interesting, the guide and each craftsman were very knowledgeable and friendly, and happy to answer any questions I had. I really enjoyed the tour, and as well as seeing each craft, the walk through Rethymno Old Town was beautiful.
This is a great tour by Virginia! We learned about locally made goods in Rethymno. And we enjoyed meeting the local business owners. Very insightful experience and recommend if you are wanting to explore Rethymno.
It was my first solo trip away and I booked the Arts and Workshop tour ! I love anything to do with Art and this tour didnt disappoint. I learnt all about the traditional leather making , bags and gifts , wood turning and resin work and some really quirky carved houses that sat on rocks made out of wood , the paper mache and how they use it for all of the local carnivals and an amazing handmade musical instrument which the guy played for me . I was made to feel so welcome on the tour . The tour guide is so knowledgable about the local area , history and family traditions and her passion for the arts really comes through . She made my holiday such a memorable one and would highly recommend . I will definitely be returning for more solo exploring . The tour is ideal for anyone group , solo or couples . I also went on her food and wine tour which was also excellent . Would recommend anyone to go on both as you learn so much about the local culture and get to see everything so close up.
Every stop was interesting and unique. We also received unique handmade gifts. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this tour. We met so many different people, and everyone was incredibly kind and eager to help us. We were a bit shy at first, but Virginia was truly the best person we could have had for this activity. We actually made things we didn't even know existed before! Now, we finally understand the history and the use of the komboloi (worry beads). If you ever visit Crete, I highly recommend booking with Virginia. You will have an amazing time!
Virginia had been a lovely guide and she has also an own family background in handmanscraft, which made the tour even more interesting and authentic. Thank you so much for this experience!
Another amazing tour with an amazing guide! Virginia is so knowledgeable and friendly, we learned so much! This was my families is my second tour with this company (Filiko tours) and I'm so glad we came back and this time we brought my parents who loved it. I give them 10/10 and would recommend it for those interested in local handmade items with some history! Great experience!
The traditional art and workshops tour with Virginia was perfect! We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Virginia is a lovely guide. During the tour of the craft shops, she gave us additional information about Crete's cuisine, including tips on taverns. We can really recommend this tour!
A must do if you visit Rethymnon! I did this tour with friends and we were all super happy of this experience! The shops were great and they thought us a lot of things!
