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!

Loved our skip the line tour!
Our tour guide, Yorgos, was knowledgeable and witty as well. He gave us a terrific explanation of the palace and provided historical context. Highly recommend this tour.
