Excellent guides, truly knowledgeable in every respect. Kept at a good pace throughout the palace and museum. The museum was incredible, the artifacts never go on tour so they are a must see if you visit Crete.

Great night, would recommend.
We went to the show last night, was not sure what to expect but it didnt disappoint. It was a great night, both singers and dancers were talented, the acrobatics were amazing. Food was good and the staff attentive. Extra free drink for VIP seat would be a nice idea due to price. I would definitely recommend this show.

An Incredible Deep Dive into Minoan History!
New York City
Archaeological Museum of Heraklion Tour

An Incredible Deep Dive into Minoan History!
An Incredible Deep Dive into Minoan History!We absolutely loved this tour! Exploring the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion with Anna was such an incredible way to learn about the ancient Minoans and better understand the history behind so many of the artifacts we were seeing.I was a Classics major, so I came into the tour already having a fair amount of knowledge about the ancient world, and I was genuinely impressed by how much I still learned from Anna. She was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history she was sharing with us. I asked a LOT of questions, including some pretty challenging ones, and she thoughtfully answered every one. I especially appreciated how willing she was to go deeper when I wanted to know more rather than just sticking to a standard tour.There is so much to see in the museum, and having Anna there to explain the history, meaning, and context behind the artifacts made the experience infinitely more interesting than I think it would have been exploring on our own.This ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip to Crete. We walked away having learned so much and genuinely enjoyed every minute of the tour. If you’re interested in the Minoans, archaeology, or ancient history, I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Wonderful Experience with a Highly Knowledgeable Guide
I had a wonderful time on the Knossos tour! It lasted about an hour and a half and was incredibly informative from start to finish. Our guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable and passionate, which really brought the history to life. We also loved that we had some free time to explore the site on our own after the guided portion ended. Highly recommend this tour!

we were 9 woman on the river trek. George was concerned for our safety and kept a careful watch on us. It’s not as easy as the description but if you’re active it’s totally great. i suggest wearing shorts over your swimsuit as to not scrape your bum. It was the highlight for o our gourds trip

Must do while in Creta ! an E-Bike tour with Ecogreece!
The guide and owner Alexis is really a good one! Not only he sowed us one of the most beautiful breathtaking landscapes in Crete, but he also brought us to Yannis tavern high up in a mountain village where we had the best home made food by Anna and Yannis himself, followed by an incredible live concert of cretan musicians! The winetasting in the afternoon was also remarcable with the wonderful wines from the Efrosiny Winery!
