The tour was comfortable and well managed. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and shared unique insights on Crete. We were provided a guide for Knossos and the Archaeological Museum and she was fantastic. Thank you Alexander and Arina for providing a valuable experience. The tour company was excellent! A great value!

We were picked up from our hotel and the guide kicked off with talking about each area we passed. We skipped the line and got in quickly. We had a lite lunch while she took a break and then we went to the small store on-site. Never rushed. The winery was amazing and service there was like Napa. From there we stopped at the museum and had a very informative session. Marinela even went back to some exhibits as questions came up. Best part we never felt rushed or hurried!
