Full-day tour of Crete’s historic Knossos Palace and Heraklion

Tour guide was knowledgeable however she walked very fast and became out of range with headset. She also lost about 10 of her party in Heraklion because she went up a side street and didn’t wait for us to catch up

Palace of knossass wonderful , very knowledgeable guide , we went in October which was still very warm , if you went in the summer there is not a lot of shade at all , we are more than capable of walking around but some more elderly people struggled with climbing and uneven ground.

The tour guide, Popi, was extremely knowledgeable and provided excellent information. It made for a very interesting day.

We enjoyed the palace, but what we did not enjoy was being walked around to each part, for the guide to talk for 30 minutes in each spot, in the rising temperatures. She kept talking about the cobbled floors and star signs. If we could have had a brief introduction and then walked around on our own where we could have read the descriptions listed everywhere we would have really enjoyed it. She was also rude to the public by making them walk away from our group if they were taking their time.

Excellent guide who provided excellent support and incredible intresting information. Thanks to her, everything was well organised . The major problem for traveling from Easter crete( Elounda) is the time it took to get to Knossos ith all the pick ups..2 hrs, ridiculous really. TUI shoulsurely divide into smaller groups whatever the economics

Knossos was the highlight of the tour although it is a very popular destination and it was very crowded. I don’t think it suits a large group like ours as you are shuffling single file through the crowds and often lose the signal of the guides audio. Quite often the guide in front was talking about something that the last of the group were minutes behind. We had a double decker bus and some of the group had been on for an hour before it picked us up the an 1.5 hrs to the first location.
