Didn’t know what to expect when we visited today but our tour guide Akrivi was absolutely amazing. Kept us captivated throughout the tour. The tour was only meant to last for a hour but it lasted almost 2 hours and that time flew by. She certainly knows his history not only of Knossos palace but many other historical events/sites. Next, we took the complimentary Heraklion walking tour!! I loved that we stopped at a couple of excellent places that we would never have been able to find on our own. We tried some sweet cheese pastries…that was a new experience for me, and they were delicious. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the city, food and culture.

The trip with Alexis was great. I was there outside of peak season, so it was a private tour. Alexis explained everything important, and there were plenty of stops and free time. The bikes are just right for Heraklion; you can easily navigate all the alleys and communicate and interact with the locals. I did the tour on a Monday, and there was a farmers market there, where you could buy local food and buy local groceries. It was a truly wonderful tour, and Alexis is a great, humorous, and authentic guy. He knows almost everyone in Heraklion ;-) Thank you for the tour and for letting me get to know you and the team.

It is a very nice tour through the town with a few breaks to stretch your legs and look at certain places in more detail. Traveling with the bikes let us see more of the town while giving us the flexibility to pause when needed. the final stop being a local tavern was the cherry on top. The food was good and plentiful. Alex was a great guide. We learnt a good amount without it being overwhelming.
