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. Paul Marshall

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.

Loved every minute of this trip. - We booked Aggeliki’s services for a girls trip and it was the best decision. Honestly, the day we spent with her was the most memorable one of our entire trip. She reached out to us to introduce herself prior to our trip, so we can discuss any arrangements. She picked us up from our Airbnb, which was not in Heraklion. She is very knowledgeable and has great tips that made the tour so much fun. Furthermore, she took us to restaurant with delicious Greek food and beautiful view of the mountains. She’s detail oriented, very attentive and caring. Honestly, the way she took care of us made me feel like we’re party of her family. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!

Fantastic Crete Tour - I cannot express how awesome this tour was! Crete is such a beautiful island with so many wonderful places to visit and we couldn’t decide what to do first! We were searching for a tour and a guide that could accommodate our interests and oh boy were we lucky to find Angie! She drove us to so many places like the cave of Zeus, the plateau in Lasithi (with the windmills), a small traditional village known for the huge plane tree more than 1000 years old, the olive oil shop (I wish I had more room in my luggage!!) and last the Knossos ruins! I highly recommend this trip!!

Phenomenal Crete Experience with Angie!! - Crete was an absolutely amazinggg experience and choosing this tour made it 100x better! Angelina made our trip incredible from start to finish - she had everything organized for us without making us plan every detail, including booking tickets online for us for things we had no idea you needed tickets for to help us avoid the lines in museums, Knossos, etc. It cut down on our waiting time so much and allowed us to see even more of the region, culture, and history of Crete. The drive to every destination was comfortable and relaxing and safe. The scenery was breathtaking the whole way through. We LOVED our trip out here and it 100% would not have been the same without Angie as our guide. Highly highly recommend!!

Great tour - It was a pleasure to book this private tour with Angie. We had a lot of fun. We visited the Cave of Zeus (a bit of hiking but totally worth it), tried local olive oil, drank some raki (the local drink, trust me, it's not water!), enjoyed lunch with a spectacular view of the plateau and at the end visited the archaeological site of Knossos! We really enjoyed this trip and the company of this amazing guide!
