So worth it! - This is your one stop shop to visit wonderful highlights of the island and Aggi was beyond amazing. She helped us plan the rest of our days here and was so helpful with all the spots for today’s tour and all the highlights for the rest of our days in Crete. I would 10000% recommend. We had a teenager and a 9 year old and all the tour was just good for us all.
Our family usually avoids any long trip but this did not feel like a full day and that is saying a lot for us.
Just book it.

Rising above the best for a private day tour in the highlands around Heraklion - Tourism is a very competitive industry in Crete, so we did the research and succeeded in finding a guide among the best for a private day tour in the highlands around Heraklion. Angie is a very knowledgable and pleasant guide and she exceeded our expectations in every way.

Amazing day driving around Crete - The guided tour was exceptional. The guide drives you around Crete in a comfortable car, has snacks and water at hand and tells you about some of the most interesting history facts I heard about Crete and its ancient culture. I visited the island three times before, so I know a little bit myself, but I was still very impressed with some of the things I learned that day. We also tasted some of the best honey and olive oil Crete has to offer. We had a blast!

Amazing experience! - Our day trip to Knossos Palace and the Cave of Zeus with Angie was absolutely fantastic! She was brilliant - knowledgeable, well-organised and made the day really special for us. The day was completely tailored to our needs and nothing was too much trouble. We were provided with snacks and water throughout the day too! We learnt so much about the island, its history and culture whilst experiencing spectacular views. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Well worth the money. Thank you so much again for such a wonderful experience.

Superb and informative history day. - A really warm welcome from Agge the minute she picked us up from the hotel. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for history was infectious. Travelling between sights she filled us with local knowledge. The lunch stop was traditional and fantastic. She pitched the day for every member of the family. Thank you Agge. 🤩

Knossos Palace - Highly Recommend! - We had the most amazing time on our tour of Knossos Palace and were able to move independently throughout with our “tablet map”! Following Knossos Palace, we were able to visit Heraklion Museum which held a majority of artifacts found at Knossos Palace, making it a perfect tour combination. Throughout our tour, Aggeliki gave amazing voice overs around the history and mythology of the area - her English is flawless! Can only recommend this tour, it was very professional, efficient, and tailored to exactly what we wanted!

An outstanding and excellent tour operator - I highly recommend you go on one of Aggelika's VIP Tours in Crete. Not only will you travel in an extremely comfortable and immaculate Mercedes to your destination, in our case Knossos, but you will have a very informative and interactive talk from Aggelika on your journey. When not presenting her formal guide talk, Aggelika is so very personable and chats freely and informally, I learnt so much about Greece and the island of Crete, something I am sure I would not have received from other tour guides. Thank you so much Aggelika for making what was a very interesting day, into a truly special and memorable one.

Wholesome Experience with Beautiful Historical Sites - Highly recommend this day tour! Aggeliki treated our group like we were her good friends and provided excellent background info for the historical sites we visited (we didn’t even need to read the museum plaques - we knew everything!). She finished our tour by taking us to a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and a great view of the sunset over the mountains. One of our favorite memories from our trip.
