Worthwhile trip in Crete's history - It was a very interesting excursion where you learned a lot about Cretan history. The tour guide was very nice. You also have enough time to discover Heraklion on your own.

Great guide and tour stops - The tour guide was very friendly and the destinations headed were interesting to entertaining. In absolute midsummer I would not recommend the trip, however, as shade was rather rahr sown.

Nice cultural excursion - We felt that the guided tour through Knossos was too tough, we would have liked only a short introduction/explanation and then free time for the tour.
The time in Heraklion was too short for us due to a delay in Knossos, which is why we skipped the short sightseeing tour and set off directly ourselves.
Tavern was great, a very nice place, fine tea, the performance was entertaining and successful. Also you could buy great products in the store.
The bus ride was very good, the driver has been calm and level headed. The tour guide told a lot, too much for my taste. But she was very nice.
