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!

A must do tour!

Whether you visit for a day or a week, this private guided tour is a must do! We had the knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Bill who picked us up at our chosen location then took us to all the sights, and the views are spectacular! He went above and beyond in every way, giving us first class, VIP treatment! This is a must do tour any time of year! Worth every penny! USA hugs, Michelle Joy & Momma Cindy Joy
