Very interesting tour. Lots of information about the history of Crete, the palace and Greek mythology. We were picked up from the hotel on time and taken to Knossos by bus. We already received some information during the bus ride. The tour lasted about 2 hours. There isn't that much to see though, as not much remains of the palace itself. We had booked the tour in German. But then she was German and English. This means that we of course heard everything twice and switched between German and English again and again. That was a bit tiring. But our guide put a lot of effort into it. Then we got a short tour of the old town of Heraklion and then had 2.30 hours at our disposal for the museum, the port or shopping. I would definitely recommend the tour.

The tour started early with an early pick up for the coach. We finished at Knossos beating the midday sun and the long queues leading out to the car park. Heraklion is very busy to walk around. Eleni stayed with us to show us the important buildings and the museum before some free time to explore the market and venetian harbour and get some lunch before returning to the car park for the journey back to our Hotel. The tour finished in Heraklion outside the museum. Which although small on the outside has some incredible artefacts. It is well worth the visit, a minibus came to take us back to our hotel in Koutouloufari.

Absolutely loved it. Our guide was fantastic and the trip was really well organized. I'm very happy I didn't decided to go on my own, as I wouldn't have been able to wait in the long line to get my Palace Knossos ticket. So, well done to all, it was great!
