Great trip for an insight into the history of the Minoan culture

Our journey from Chania to Knossos was very enjoyable. The driver was nice and the guides at Knossos Palace and the museum in Heraklion were excellent. They were very knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into the magnificent history of the Minoan culture. In addition, they answered all questions and had a good sense of humor. The only complaint is that for a group of nine, the car was too small and narrow for the long drive, and one had to sit under a five-year-old child, which was uncomfortable. We thought we had ordered one spacious car for everyone in the communication about the organization, but unfortunately it didn't work out and it was a drawback on the trip.
Remarkable ancient culture, brought to life by a terrific guide!

Our driver was on time and waiting for us after we got off the ship. It was a long drive to Knossos, but he made it in excellent time, and it was very comfortable. Our guide, named Sophie, was excellent! She met us where the driver dropped us off, and took us to the Knossos museum. We spent several hours there, and she explained things in great detail, and it was all fascinating. After that, we went to the site if Knossos itself, where she continue to show us the remarkable culture of the Minoans. It’s such an old and fascinating story – the Minoans. And Sophie did a wonderful job of re-creating the world that they lived in. It was a wonderful experience.
