Self guided tour Heraklion and Knossos Crete - This was a self guided tour of both places. The guide on the coach gave good professional information going into both places. The coach provided by Platanos tour was very comfortable and clean, the driver was very careful. The suggested time to Heraklion museum was 2 hrs but it needed at least 3 hrs. It was well laid out with information in english. Knossos was well laid out with wooden board walks with information in english. The suggestion time for the visit was 2 hrs but once again it would need another hour. Both well woth a visit. Take proof of your age if you want concession admission
