Tour guide makes it amazing! - If we did not have our amazing tour guide we would have missed so much. The stories, mythology and information about the Minoan people made the visit so much richer.

Knossos Palace tour was great! - Our tour guide was great - very enthusiastic and interesting. The use of the headsets allowed us to listen and learn while looking around. The tour guide did a good job relating myths and Minoan life to modern times.

Great experience! - We visited the Knossos Labyrinth accompanied by Mrs. Chatzigeorgiou as a Guide. It was a beautiful experience in which we learned many things not only about the site’s history, but also about Minoan culture. Thank you Akrivi!

Perfect, informative tour with attentive support staff caring for our group members with true concern - Gianni’s was attentive and gracious throughout our planning, met us ant the port, and even reserved the taxis for us! His staff were kind and supportive especially with one elderly group member. And the tour guide, Akrivi (sp?!), was amazing! So much o formation and expertise on a subject she obviously loved. Her enthusiasm was infectious and everyone enjoyed learning from her immensely! So grateful we chose this tour.

Henry DeMoss(sp?) was fantastic! - This guided tour was the highlight of our time in Crete. The information that Henry shared with my husband & I was mind-blowing! THE most entertaining & informational tour we had the entire time in Greece, including the Acropolis in Athens. We would definitely do this tour again. We cannot wait to read & study everything there is to know about this place. Henry was a true inspiration to learn more KNOWLEDGE!

Amazing and super interesting experience! - The tour was amazing! It was just two of us and the guide and we learned so much about the ruins. Our guide was so nice and knowledgeable! It started raining during the tour and they brought us Panchos so we wouldn’t get wet! We definitely recommend it.

Knossos Palace - This 1.5 hour tour was one of the most interesting we have ever done. Our guide Katerina who is an archeologist and excavator absolutely knows her history of Knossos and Greek history in general. She shared the information comprehensively and delivered it an entertaining manner. Her enthusiasm for Knossos was infectious. The tour exceeded our expectation and has left us with a greater appreciation of Knossos and the Minoan civilisation. Thank you Katerina.

Pricey - Although the Information and guide was good this tour is very expensive for 1 hr 30 minutes. It could have at least included the price of the entry fee. We took an all day 8 hr tour and food included for almost same price!
