We are all fighting a Minotaur… - I booked the transfer service to and from Knossos. George welcomed me in a brand new car with AC. I was greeted by 2 lovely operators, was handed my ticket and was introduced to my amazing guide, Akrivi who I would give 5 stars too for her eloquence, knowledge and deliverability. She made sure we had a vivid time travel back to Minos era. Really loved the connection at the end, of our never-ending conflict with our own internal Minotaur and how one can only make friends either the beast. Cannot recommend enough. PS: I was escorted back to my taxi by both operators opening my door and all. Way to go girls!

KNOW KNOSSOS- DO NOT MISS THIS! - Akrivi was one of the best tour guides I have ever had the pleasure of touring with. She was engaging, smart, funny and conscientious about giving us her history tod bits in the shade. This company was also top notch. Our family of six will do this again in a heartbeat. A little advice: wear sneakers, bring water and book early morning. Enjoy .. the Minoans were incredible!

Great tour - Our guide Katharina was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and passionate, and it really felt like everything she was telling us was happening at that exact moment in front of us. Highly recommended!

Disappointing - I’m sorry to say that this tour was a disappointment. We took the 9am tour and there was no line to skip, so that aspect of this tour was pointless. When we finished closer to 11am, there was definitely a long line, so it would have been useful but unbearable hot at that point. Our tour guide was an archeologist who had worked on the site most of her life—seemed promising. She was very enthusiastic but her English was hard to decipher. She basically told a long and confusing story for an hour as we walked behind her. We had to flag her down to ask a few questions. At the end of the tour, everyone in my family (including my kids) felt like we had not learned much and it had been a waste of money. Maybe another guide would have been better, but we probably would have learned as much reading the signs.
