An exceptional, joyful visit.

Published on Sep, 2024

A visit that is both fun and engaging. Suitable for everyone, young and old: we explored parts of Herakleion that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Our guide, Nikos, was fantastic. Thank you so much!

Perfect

Published on Aug, 2024

The best way to discover the island. We had lots of fun and we learn new things and most important, we liked so much that the questions was about reacting with the place and not, history ones.

Fun experience with friends

Published on Aug, 2024

I took the tour with some firends from erasmus and had lots of fun. The mechanic of the game is simple yet challenging, really easy to understand. Our favorite parts of the experience where the food stops and learning about Zorba the greek! 100% would recommend to someone who spending small time on Heraklion but wants to see as much as posible.

Such a great experience!

Published on Aug, 2024

Excellent guide. The heat was a bit intense, but he knew all the shady spots and took us to a bakery and a restaurant for local treats and water. Great experience!
