Review of the $104 Knossos Palace tour in Crete, with skip-the-line entry, expert guides, timing tips, costs, and practical advice.
“Super informative and interesting tour! The guide was really knowledgeable.”
Taste Cretan cheese, bougatsa, olives, raki, sweets and gyros while exploring Chania with a warm local guide.
“Kristos did an amazing job accommodating our last minute same day reservation as well as our food allergies. He was very knowledgeable about both the food we ate as well as the local history. He was professional as well as personable. Come hungry, way more food than we could possibly eat. We really enjoyed the tasting and variety of foods in Chania. We enjoyed walking through the quaint and historical city. Highly recommend this tour.”
Taste Cretan coffee, bougatsa, cheeses, olive oil, meats, wine, and raki on a four-hour food walk through Heraklion.
“Thank you to our lovely and very friendly guide, Eva – she is absolutely wonderful! This 4-hour walking food tour through Heraklion was full of great stops: coffee, sweets, olives, feta and cheese, bread, wine, raki, and lots of delicious meze. We finished the tour full, happy, a little tipsy, and completely in love with Heraklion, Eva, and the whole experience. Highly recommended – thank you very much!”
Explore Chania by private car and on foot with mountain views, four Cretan wines, a sommelier, and a generous traditional lunch.
“Fantastic private tour of Chania. Be prepared to try LOTS of traditional Greek cuisine. You will not leave hungry. Wine tasting was excellent and Ms Maria has lots of knowledge about Cretian wine to share. The excellent guide, Nadia, gives you personal time at each stop to make this a truly private and memorable experience. Guide went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable during the very hot day and were treated like members of a family. Highly recommend this tour!”
Taste Cretan breakfast, raki, olive oil, filo sweets, and meze while exploring Rethymno’s old town with a small group guide.
“Rethymno is beautiful town. The tour was delicious. Our Guide, Maria was 👏 amazing!! I highly recommend this tour, because of the quality of food that we tasted and all important local information that Maria gave us!!”
Explore Rethymno through Cretan breakfast, olive oil, honey, raki, handmade phyllo, and a garden meal on this four-hour private tour.
“We had a fantastic tour with Michael our guide. Michael was very knowledgeable on the history on the town and Crete in general. Also able to explain about life in the town currently. Each place we stopped was relaxing and all the food was tasty and plentiful. The restaurant was such a great place and would return there. The olive oil and honey tasting was very enjoyable and again learnt lots. Would highly recommend this tour especially as it gave you a guide to the old town ( which can be a little confusing 😊) and some good places to eat.”
Explore Chania through Cretan pastries, cheeses, coffee, local produce, history, and lunch with an English-speaking guide.
“Loved it ! Stela was fun and we enjoyed her and our whole group. We got to taste quite a few of the locals favorite!”
Explore Knossos Palace with a licensed guide, uncover Minoan myths and art, and skip ticket lines near Heraklion in a focused 90-minute tour.
“The end part. She dropped some deep thought provoking analogies about how we relate to the main mythological objects discussed.”
Start from a place, or from the kind of day you want.
