Best tour among the tens i took before. Our guide Sypro definitely loves his job and his country. I felt as if a friend is showing me around his hometown. Worth every minute!

Excellent, a beautiful day trip with the essentials of Heraklion. Our live guide was very friendly and passionate about her subject. We found the free time in the city a bit short (a little over an hour). It's too quick to eat and visit the museum if you want to... Overall, it was great. I recommend it.

A superbly organized excursion. The guided tour in Knossos was especially wonderful, because without a guide, you wouldn't have been able to visualize the palace complex as it once was. The excursion to the farm was also great. There were honey and oil products, but I especially liked the herbs and teas. In Heraklion, there was then a short guided tour and time to explore.
