Must-see on Crete

Published on Aug, 2022

For all those interested in History, Archeology and Greece Myths this is a must-see site. Yes, over 100-year old “excavations and preservation” works conducted by Sir Arthur Evans are controversial today, but the is where you see this is not black and white. The tour guide (Poppy ?) was very knowledgeable and professional. It’s not easy to care for a buss of people in 90 degrees and share every detail of this archeological site, but she did it!

Beautiful and impressive ancient city

Published on Jul, 2022

We ha a lovely time visiting the ruin. I found the frescos and the how much of the city was so preserved absolutely beautiful. The audio tour was very informative and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Easy Knossos tour

Published on May, 2022

The tickets and guide audio are texted and emailed immediately upon booking. Very user friendly. You can go at any time and skip the line into Knossos. Highly recommend this. We stayed about an hour although the audio is longer. It’s a great option if you want to see the ruins but not spend a full half day with a live guide. We enjoyed this trip a lot

Great experience!

Had a great time

Published on Mar, 2022
