Heraklion Half-Day Tour | Knossos & Top Sights | Cruise-Friendly

Personalized service for a great tour

We had several hours with George who went out of his way to accommodate our specific wishes while making helpful suggestions to make the most of our limited time on Crete. He was patient and humored our many requests for photos, suggested a wonderful local restaurant, left us on our own to enjoy it, and provided knowledgeable commentary along the way. A great tour!

Knossos-Lasithi Plateau-Cave of Zeus for Cruises Heraklion Port

5 star!

My family had the pleasure of taking this tour with Kostas, and it was an experience to remember! From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly engaging. Not only was he well-informed, but he also had a great sense of humor and knew how to keep everyone engaged. He took the time to answer all of our questions, ensured we were comfortable, and even gave us fantastic local recommendations. If you're looking for a guide who goes above and beyond to create an enjoyable and insightful experience, you found him! Highly recommend!
