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.

Fantastic memorable tour! - We went on this tour last year and meant to do a review at the time! It was fantastic and worth every penny! We were able to skip the line which was a real bonus. Tour was at 9am so it was great to finish before it got too hot. Tour guide Akrivi was so engaging and knowledgeable and made this a wonderful memorable experience.

Excellent tour with engaging and knowledgeable guide - We joined Akrivi for the Knossos Palace Greek Mythology tour. We really enjoyed the tour. Akrivi was engaging and friendly from the start, though my husband noted that she became more so as the tour progressed. Akrivi had studied the topic at university level so was able to accurately answer questions and had up-to-date knowledge of where research into Knossos and the Minoans is at. The visit was to fulfill a long held wish of mine but my husband was attending willingly but not keenly. However he thoroughly enjoyed the tour He found that Akrivi made the history and myths into a story which he enjoyed and found easy to follow. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.
