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.

Akrivi our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Additionally, a tour guide made the experience much more meaningful and memorable and I learned so much that I didn’t know before. If you love history, it’s the way to go! We definitely appreciated Knossos more with this tour. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn about the history and the myths of the area! Lastly, skipping the line was an added perk that I didn’t appreciate until I got there- The lines can be LONG. The pick-up was on time!!

The buses seemed to be pretty old, one of the buses we were on had two broken seats and not all the sockets to the talking guide worked. The route was good, except for the beach run, that felt like it was just a drop off for hotels.

Marina was a great guide. She has a lot of knowledge and we were able to enjoy a great tour and a delicious meal at the end!:)

It was super easy to use and navigate. I met one of the tour guides Athina, and she was really helpful and kind.
