“Had an amazing experience and tour with Ed today. His communication was awesome before the trip and during it. So friendly and really made us feel like friends. Showed us what Crete is all about and even went out of his way to bring us back to our car. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone! A+++++++”
A long Crete day from Heraklion blending Knossos, Lasithi plateau views, Vidiani Monastery, Lasinthos Eco Park, and an olive farm mill tour.
“Lasithi was very beautiful, also the Cave. Knossos palace was a little disoppintment because there wasn't much to see for the money. Guide was okay. It took us 2,5h hours to get the first sightseening, because the bus stopped at many places on the way. Although the bus was nice and cold.”
Guided Knossos and Heraklion day tour with pickup, headsets, city walking, and market time. Tickets and food are extra.
“Went with my mum and two children aged 9 and 14. It was hot and not much cover at the palace of knossos but our guide Cristina was amazing at finding our group shade and she knew so much that with the ear pieces in we were able to learn from her the history of the place with ease. After this the coach took us into the old town where we were able to independently visit the Archeological Museum and have a very quick bite to eat before catching the coach back to our hotel. We had a wonderful day and can recommend this tour.”

“visite du marché annulée - visite du palais de Knossos au pas de course car gros groupe FR et AN - audio-guides défectueux (coupures, grésillements et bips) - temps libre à Heraklion trop court, on a à peine une temps de manger.

“I really liked the tour guide Roxani (I think this was her name I’m really bad with remembering names) she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the Minoans and you could tell that she loves what she does. The bus driver was okay not anything special. Overall I really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it.”
Full-day tour from Rethymno to Knossos and Heraklion Archaeological Museum, with a guide, myth stories, original frescoes, and city time.
“Turen var fin, oplevelserne levede op til vores forventninger, men vi havde nok forstået, ud fra beskrivelsen, af at der står guidet tur, betød at man havde guiden med ind på muserne. Men det er kun nogen, der er uddannet som guide til museet, eller arkæologer der må inde på stedet. Så det koster ekstra. Der står til gengæld en masse og tilbyder sig ved indgangen. (Vi tog ikke imod, så kender ikke prisen) Det koster også ekstra (altså ud over prisen til GYG) at komme ind på museerne. Det koster 20€ pr. Person på Knossos og 12€ pr person for arkæologisk museum. Tiden var passende, vi nåede dog ikke…”
Crete tour to Knossos Palace and the Lasithi Plateau, plus Kera Kardiotissa convent, Psychro, Zeus cave area, and village stops.
“we were happy we chose to do the activity. I would just say that if you choose to go down the cave of zeus you have to go fast as I feel like if you're a slow walker you could not have enough time. The guide was knowledgeable and the tour was both in English and French. Would recommend”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
