    I booked the guided Knossos tour early at 9 in the morning. That was a good choice because of the heat. We were a group of 3 people and my guide was Akrivi. She was an amazing guide and has a good knowledge of the historical backgrounds and even about the latest historical facts. Because of that, she was able to give us a good overall view about everything. Even about controversial facts or things make us more think about. She had a great way of telling and always took care of us, like staying in areas with more shade to protect us from the sun. I am really happy that I had her as my guide, and she was my guide too for the museum tour later on that day. Thank you so much!

    Our tour guide Akrivi was super knowledgeable about the "Palace of Knossos" and her enthusiasm was infectious. I would highly recommend this tour to really understand the story and the history of the Minoans.

    Great tour, wonderful guide! Tour was excellent and skip the line a must! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and provided connection between history and mythology. She also did a great job of finding shade! TIP: try to get either an early morning or early evening tour to avoid heat and crowds

    Akrivi Chatzigeorgiou’s expert guiding services provided us with a well organized and highly informative tour of Knossos and the Herakion Archeological Museum. She is well spoken and provides interesting commentary. She can speak to those with a deep interest in Minoan & Greek history or those looking for an introduction. She knows Knossos and the museum very well, and avoids the crowds, when possible, making the experience much more enjoyable. She provided door to door service for us from our hotel, making the experience seamless. Thank you Akrivi! It was a highlight of our Greek tour. We normally would not spend the extra for a private guide, but this experience was well worth it.

    Passionate and captivating. Katerina’s knowledge and passion for the Minoan civilization was evident from the start, which is why we continued with her to Knossos Palace. This was my first visit to the museum but it will not be my last. I strongly recommend her as a guide who will captivate you and enrich your experience greatly.

    Visite en famille avec Akrivi. Tour of Crete (3 days private tour) Akrivi nous a accompagné visiter les ruines de Knossos. Nous étions une famille de 7 avec des enfants et un bébé. Elle a été parfaite, s’adaptant à notre rythme et faisant revivre la civilisation minoenne tout au long de la visite. Avec l’option coupe file, nous n’avons pas fait la queue pour avoir nos billets, ce qui est appréciable car le site draine énormément de gens. À recommander sans hésiter

    Great tour and guide for Knossos Labyrinth of Knossos Skip-the-Line Ticket with Tour Guide We booked the Knossos palace as our first excursion in Crete and it was superb. Akrivi (from WeGuide) was a great ambassador of the island. She provided us so much information about the palace! We were very lucky that the site was not crowded so she was able to bring us so close to the structures--not something we expected. I would highly recommend both the tour and Akrivi.

    Marvelous Guided Tour of Knossos Palace Site - Labyrinth of Knossos Skip-the-Line Ticket with Tour Guide - We enjoyed our tour of Knossos Palace and our Viator guide, Akrivi, did an excellent job. We had a sunny, temperate day in March, there were no crowds, and Akrivi’s English was excellent. She met us at the entrance and conducted us through the site at any easy pace. She presented information in a well-organized manner and was humorous at times. She even knew where the best spot was for a photo of us, and took it for us. We highly recommend this tour; another winner from Viator.

    Just book it. You won't regret it. Knossos Palace Guided Walking Tour - We cannot recommend this tour enough. My brother and I were truly blown away by the Knossos Palace. Our guide was very skilled in weaving together history, amended history, and myth. She was funny, gracious about picture-taking, and good at maneuvering us through the labyrinth (pun-intended) that is Knossos. It was easy to pick up on her passion for the site.

    Wonderful time travel to the Ancient Minoan civilization. - The valley of Zeus (Olive oil, wine tasting)-Knossos palace tour. - Thanks to Akrivi we had a fantastic time visiting both the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Knossos palace. Akrivi waved together the history and mythology, explained in detail all aspects of Minoan civilization and made us to travel back in time, to learn and appreciate the achievements of Minoans, the first Mediterranean civilization.It is totally worth to book both tours together , otherwise you will be missing the complete picture.Especially if you are a small group/family you should not miss this tour; it is not just a tour it is time travel !

    Must do! Knossos Palace Guided Walking Tour My family travels all over the world and has encountered numerous tour guides. Ioanna was different, in only the most wonderful way! She has this amazing way of challenging you to not only see and enjoy the ruins and historical sites you are at; but also to truly dive into the history of the people behind the ruins. My 13 year old son loved debating and discussing the why behind certain Ancient Greek practices and beliefs with her. He says it brought the ruins alive for him. Ioanna is also such a truly engaging and lovely person. She made us feel like family in her country and that just made the tour even more enjoyable! I cannot recommend her and her tours enough, they are a must do!

She was very up to date about the latest historical facts.Because of the knossos tour on the same day in the morning I was able to get a better understanding about all the things and stories around the minoan civilization. Akrivi has a great way to tell everything. I am really happy and I am glad I booked a guided tour. Thank you so much for the day. I really recommend the knossos guided tour early in the morning because of the heat later and then later to do the museum guided tour. Great!!

The process to meet with the tour and get tickets was very smooth as well! Definitely get a tour of Knossos, it’s well worth it there is not a lot of signage around to read, much better having someone like Katerina telling you all of the special facts about this “palace”!

    Guide did not seem that enthusiastic about his job or what he was telling us about the Minoans. We felt rushed through the ruins and especially through the museum. He was always ahead of us. Maybe he should retire and find a job he loves doing. He was not very friendly or interested in us. We chose to forgo the city tour after the museum because we were unhappy with the guide.

    May 5, 2024

    Doordat ik een gids had, die veel wist over de archeologie, de geschiedenis, de drie lagen van het verhaal van Knosos, heb ik 1,5 uur intens genoten van dit prachtige verhaal, terwijl we door Knossos liepen. Ik raad iedereen aan Knossos met een gids te bezoeken, want zij weten zoveel details, waardoor alles extra diepte heeft en het geheel leeft! Anderen hoorde ik erover dat het een saaie hoop stenen was, en allemaal nep. Die hadden dus helaas geen gids gehad. Ze zouden nog een poging moeten wagen (met gids)! De verhalen ben ik al volop aan het doorvertellen, ondersteund door de foto’s. En ik geniet nog volop na! Bedankt!!

    I absolutely loved this activity! Akrivi was full of information and her enthusiasm was contagious. I was the only one on the tour so I was spoiled with attention, which I loved. We took our time and whenever I had a question she was there to answer it, or fully admit she (or even scholars) didn't know the answers. The site was better than I imagined, and I thought I had an understanding of "The King of Minos" and "The Labyrinth" until my eyes were opened!!!! The myth and history converged, I just sat back and enjoyed the whole ride. I went to the museum the next day and it was just as fascinating... Only at a museum level, if you know what I mean. If you are not a history geek or a mythology fan, this might not be the tour for you. Personally, I recommend it 100%. I opted to take the #2 bus to Knossos and back to Heraklion city center. It wasn't difficult, but I would suggest getting familiar with the bus system here beforehand if you've never used it. I hope you all enjoy!

    You’ve been awarded the Badge of Excellence. -Knossos! What an enchanting place! This is simply a must visit site in Crete if history, culture, and myth are of any interest to you at all. Hire a guide to help bring the place to life. It is harder to get a true sense of the place without the guidance and knowledge of experienced guides. There is signage but it is simplistic and limited only sharing a fraction of what you're actually seeing and why. Knossos, a complex of more than 1500 interlocking rooms, was an astonishing palace, built for a mighty king of the Bronze Age. As you wander through the labyrinthine ruins, you will have the chance to see the original throne of "Minos", the mystifying sanctuaries, the luxurious domestic quarters of the royal family, the once upon a time bursting with Crete’s treasures pantries and the astonishing water-management systems!

    Very educational! Our guide had in depth knowledge of not just the palace itself, but could also relate and compare the importance of the place to a large aspect of Greece/World history. It was also great that the guide was actually an researcher of the place, meaning she could bring great conversation with her theories, and what other in the field talk about when it comes to the things we still don't know about the place.

    Akrivia was AMAZING! The whole tour was well-narrated and interesting to follow, and she was great with the families and their kids. She definitely made me curious to learn more about the Minoans!

    I cannot recommend this tour enough! Getting to Knossos on the bus was really easy and our guide was incredible. She explained the history of the site, the excavations and the development of the mythology in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. The tour length was perfect and we learned so many new things. We left seeing the site and the stories in an entirely new way!

    The tour was well organised. We were picked up & returned to our hotel in Heraklion ( incl in cost) to the Palace of Knossus where we met our wonderful guide Agrieva. We were joined by another couple. It was most informative & interesting & we learned a lot of interesting things about the history of Knossus. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the Palace of Knossus.

    The tour was nice despite the employees strike that caused us to have an hour delay. Not the fault of your company and your people handled it well.

    The guide was excellent. She told an interesting tale that connected the myths with our current scientific and historical knowledge. There was plenty of shade for the tour in was was an unseasoned hot day.

    I love that they provider a little ear piece to hear the guide better. with all the cicadas and the other guides it would have been hard to hear her. The guide was very kind and very knowledgeable. I recommend this activity as a must do while in Heraklion!

    Excellent tour of Knossos. Thr information for getting to the meeting point was accurate and we were met by a representative of the tour company. Giorgos (the guide) then met us at the appointed place on time. He was very informative and engaging. He brought the history of the place to life. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend this tour.

    The tour was very educational and our guide extremely knowledgeable and engaging! Going at 9am was smart because as we were leaving there was a huge line to get in.

    Really good tour. We are Greeks living abroad so our children speak better English than Greek. We did that tour for the children to learn and understand more than what we could explain. Both the children and us really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot from it. I stidied history and ancient Greek at school but was never told all the facts that we learnt at the tour. Some did surprise me! Akrivi, our guide was extremely good, she explained everything really well and kept the children and adults engaged for the full duration of the tour. Thank you Akrivi for a fantastic tour!

    Perfect, informative tour with attentive support staff caring for our group members with true concern. Gianni’s was attentive and gracious throughout our planning, met us ant the port, and even reserved the taxis for us! His staff were kind and supportive especially with one elderly group member. And the tour guide, Akrivi (sp?!), was amazing! So much o formation and expertise on a subject she obviously loved. Her enthusiasm was infectious and everyone enjoyed learning from her immensely! So grateful we chose this tour.

    Best Guided Tour -- Best Guide VIP!! -- Knossos insider. 1. King Minos was neither a man nor a king. We learned the story behind Minos as a title instead of a person. And the ruling person was more likely a woman. 2. We learned how how nuggets of truth are hidden in the Greek myths. I learned so many things that I have to stop and write it all down. Maybe I can contact the guide to get a book!! 3. Learned about the Labrynth and the Minotaur ???? 4. We learned about the 4 windows that were used to mark the 4 seasons 5. We skipped all the lines!!! Yay!!Yaya!!! 6. We saw the trident symbol pointing the way to commerce areas. 7. We saw the double-headed axe (two triangles) as a sign of fertility and used in ceremonial areas. 8. We learned how to distinguish the old rock and the newer rock that was put up with concrete. 9. We saw the concrete beams recreated with wood forms to resemble the original wooden beams 10. We saw the ancient road which leads up to.. .the modern bus stop :-) 11. There are multiple layers of ruins rebuilt on top of older ruins. Truly a remarkable site!!

    Great family experience! We loved this walking food tour. We were a group of 3, my son, husband and myself. Due to traffic we were 30 min late. We were able to communicate with Ari and it was not a problem! Our son is on the spectrum and loves food !! Ari was so accommodating and caring and did everything to make sure it was a good experience for him. Including ending with gelato???? I loved that we stopped at a couple of excellent places that we would never have been able to find on our own. We tried some sweet cheese pastries…that was a new experience for me, and they were delicious. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the city, food and culture.
