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 Palace Skip-the-Line Ticket (Shared Tour Group)
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.

Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour
A Full belly Cretan Day!
This was a perfect trip! We had one day only in crete, but through our guide Nikos, we had an incredible day - He was so enthusiastic about the nature, stopping at various points allowing us to taste the local coffee, herbs, and more olive oil on our trip! The views absolute incredible from way up high in the plateau. The cave, so cool and refreshing! its like 5*C down their! You also are provided ample water, as you need to be a good walker for this tour!
