Knowledge packed tour - Katarina 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 - Terrific guided tour. Highly recommend. Excellent for understanding the relationship between myth and reality of the Minoan world, 2000BCE

Excellent tour of the site - I enjoyed this tour as it was very informative and the guide Katrina knew all the history and myths surrounding it, you could go there solo but I thought it was really worth the commentary, the transport was good too

Mind blowing - Great 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!! - Akrivi 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.

Very Informative - The tour lasted for 1 hour 30 mins and it was a little short for my liking. However the tour guide was excellent and the tour was very informative.

Try it on your own self guided tour - Detailed 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.
