5.00The tour of the Knossos palace was wonderful. We were lucky to be the only ones on the tour so it was a private tour. The guide was very accommodating with my walking issues. And we were able to stay longer so my nephew was able to explore more. Riding the city bus was great, able to see local life. Going to Greece in January has been the best choice, no crowds and the weather is perfect. 60 degrees F. For us is warm. We came from 10 degrees F.

3.00Detailed tour of castle. Guide was knowledgeable but coughed into microphone quite often and would not cover the microphone as suggested- not polite. Booked this tour on Saturday for Sunday not knowing it was free admission due to cultural holiday. Otherwise good tour but could have done self audio tour ourselves for better value.
Knowledge packed tour

5.00Katarina was an amazing guide. She brought her knowledge as an archaeologist working at the site to her tour. The tour was well paced and packed with history. If you want to learn about the labyrinth, this is the tour for you.
A great framework for understanding antiquity

5.00Great experience! Yannis met me at the prearranged meeting place, explained everything very clearly (and even lent me an umbrella!). Our guide was so knowledgeable and encouraged us to also visit the archeological museum, which meant so much more after the knowledge gained on the trip. Truly mind blowing..if you’re thinking about booking..just do it
Great tour!!

5.00Akrivi was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and passionate. I learned so many new things and she managed to get us through the site efficiently and without having to navigate the big crowds. Highly recommend if you want this archaeological site and history/myths of Greece to come alive.
