Additional Information

Knossos! What an enchanting place! This is simply a must visit site in Crete if history, culture, and myth are of any interest to you at all. Hire a guide to help bring the place to life. It is harder to get a true sense of the place without the guidance and knowledge of experienced guides. There is signage but it is simplistic and limited only sharing…

Exceptional! - Visit Knosso Palace for 25th per person with an official, passionate and exciting Guide who does not count his time, Danae (if I am not mistaken). Thanks again to her.

Excellent guide - We had an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide for the tour. She answered our questions almost before we asked them. She had a group of French people on the tour as well as we two Americans and she was able to speak both languages and to make sure all of us understood.

Excellent tour and logistics (chose tour with ticket and hotel pickup/drop off - Pick up and drop off went smoothly. We were met at the palace by WeGuide and taken right to our tour guide (skipped the long line) who was excellent as were the drivers and the WeGuide rep who met us at the palace. Tour was excellent! We were also able to use our ticket to visit the museum. Thanks to all for a well run pick up, drop off and tour!

Great tour on a gorgeous day! - Great time of day for tour. 5pm tour was informative and very enjoyable. The Knossos temple is an amazing structure. Once thing I would change is that we went to the Archaelogical Museum in Heraklion first and paid admission only to find out that the tour included the admission to the museum with the ticket. Otherwise, it was perfect.

Great Tour - Easy to book (through TripAdvisor) simple instructions and eticket. Met at the gates as promised by operator holding a sign. Names were on the list and tickets were ready. Small group of about 8 people and clearly knowelegable guide (Joanna). Good tour at a sensible pace. Recommend this over the big group tours - much more personal and interactive.
