Everything about this tour was perfect. We were given clear instructions as to meeting point, and the hostess was easily found. We were introduced to our private guide, Akredi (sp), who was professional, informative, warm, and clever in dodging the large tour groups nearby. We learned a lot about Knossos and the Minoan civilization. A great day!

Our tour guide was excellent, extremely expert on the subject matter and truly made this archaeological tour one of the best we have ever been on! Important to bring water

Very good and interesting. Our tour guide knew so much information and made the experience fun and enjoyable. Amazing history

Akrivi was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and passionate. I learned so many new things and she managed to get us through the site efficiently and without having to navigate the big crowds. Highly recommend if you want this archaeological site and history/myths of Greece to come alive.

This is an excellent tour that’s informative and interesting. It’s an excellent way to get to know the city and its culture. We had an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and flexible. My wife requires Gluten Free food and she went to a lot of trouble to meet her needs. She took us to local shops and cafes where we got to eat local food and drink local wine. The bougatsa at Phyllo Sophies was to die for. All in all an excellent tour and most worthwhile.

The tour lasted for 1 hour 30 mins and it was a little short for my liking. However the tour guide was excellent and the tour was very informative.

This tour was exactly what we were looking for! Our guide gave us not just a general historical context of the city, but most importantly an appreciation for the various cultures, people, and events that allow led us to really appreciate the character of Heraklion. She took us to many shops and cafes to taste and see some true and authentic Cretan produce and products from the people of Crete and we were so welcomed by them all! It was a perfect way to experience a broad spectrum of culture in a short time, I hope all our future walking tours are like this one.

Great tour and experience walking through the ruins. Our guide, George, was excellent and very informative!

We went on this tour last year and meant to do a review at the time! It was fantastic and worth every penny! We were able to skip the line which was a real bonus. Tour was at 9am so it was great to finish before it got too hot. Tour guide Akrivi was so engaging and knowledgeable and made this a wonderful memorable experience.

The views were awesome but having a tour guide explain what you were looking at and the historical and mytholgic references made the trip.

We visited Knossos Palace with an 18 Yr old Classics student grandson, and was very good. If you are thinking of visiting, I would suggest leave it to arrive at around 2pm or after. Less queues to get in and inside.

We joined Akrivi for the Knossos Palace Greek Mythology tour. We really enjoyed the tour. Akrivi was engaging and friendly from the start, though my husband noted that she became more so as the tour progressed. Akrivi had studied the topic at university level so was able to accurately answer questions and had up-to-date knowledge of where research into Knossos and the Minoans is at. The visit was to fulfill a long held wish of mine but my husband was attending willingly but not keenly. However he thoroughly enjoyed the tour He found that Akrivi made the history and myths into a story which he enjoyed and found easy to follow. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

I had a lovely stroll around Heraklion with Ary, who was very knowledgeable. We also had food tasting along the way and that was great. Ary is a lovely woman and a good guide. Very good tour.

This private tour was excellent. I was with my mum and sons (age 4 and 1). I chose a private tour as I was worried that on a group tour we may not keep up, with the children. Our tour guide was knowledgable and gave us a chance to ask lots of questions. We were also given options about what we focused on. In two spots our tour guide gelped us with tge pram. Highly recommended!

Wonderful way to learn more about Greek history, Heraklion and taste some amazing local food. The tour only takes a max of 6 people and we ended up just 2 of us with a guide. It was our little private tour!! It was amazing! Our tour guide was born and raised in Heraklion, so she was able to share some amazing stories and take us to some great local places to taste delicious food. We started our day with a cup of coffee and a Greek dessert. We walked around to a local market and got a taste of the freshest Greek vegetables. Then we stopped at a local shop that offered unique spices, infused oils, cosmetics made from an old family recipe and so much more. We visited two beautiful Greek orthodox churches and got to light a candle. We continued to a local, small grocery store where we got a delicious appetizer to take with us made from local products and tasted beautiful Greek wine. We had wonderful conversations along the way! We finished our day with a refreshing drink and a delicious gyro. The whole tour was scheduled to last two hours. However, our tour guide was in no rush and spend good amount of extra time with us. We much appreciated that! Definitely recommend this tour!
