Private Guided Tour to Knossos Palace, Arch. Museum & Heraklion
Beautiful Heraklion
This was a customizable private tour. We were picked up by our guide Maria and our driver Nicos. Maria was very professional and very respected by her peers as we could see in every sight we visited. She has a vast knowledge of the island and its incredible archeological sites. Our driver was an angel. Very kind and professional. Both made sure we had a great time. The highlights we the palace of Knossos, the museum and the food! This is a very interesting Greek island, it certainly surpassed our expectations. For a group of four, this tour was a great value in comparación to the tours offered by our cruise. Thanks to both for a wonderful time.

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!

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!
