Dream come true - I had dreamed of coming here for many years, and I can still hardly believe my luck. Our tour group was small and our guide, Akrivi, was excellent. So much to talk about -- ancient civilizations, myth, history, archaeology, art, architecture. She gave us detailed explanations, and in the end put it all together in a way that linked the myth to the reality. Nice job, Akrivi! It was hot and sunny, but worth every minute.

Perfect Knossos Tour - Eleni was a fabulous guide for Knossos - great storyteller and she kept us in the shade and out of long lines. Really appreciated her explanation of the economy and her recommendation of a beach club to visit after the tour.

Must do experience! - We loved not having to wait in line for tickets since our guide had them for us already. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we got a lot more out of the experience having the importance of the site explained to us.

Our guide was excellent:... - Our guide was excellent: very knowledgeable and informative. But she didn’t simply list facts: she helped us understand the issues archaeologists grapple with, and she presented those issues as ongoing questions that are still relevant to us today. She also managed the group very well, keeping us together, staking out shady spots with great views, and navigating the crowds. Our best visit to an archaeological site!

Top notch Knossos tour, excellent tour guide - This tour was extremely well done. Our guide spoke excellent English & was easy to understand. She presented lots of interesting & valuable information about conflicting views of what Knossos really used for that now has us doing our own research. I took more than 100 pictures & had no problems navigating the landscape as she talked, which really made this a fantastic part of the trip. Knossos is a truly astonishing place but it was made much richer by our guide. We gave her a tip but noticed others didn’t. Please, please remember you benefit from such experiences. Please tip your tour guide.
