Heraklion Halbtagestour | Knossos & Top Sehenswürdigkeiten | Cruise-Friendly

Excellent half day spent enjoying Minoan ruins, olive oil, ceramics, a charming village, a monastery and KITTENS! George was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who provided interesting details about olive oil production and so much more! This tour offers flexibility and a perfect balance of history, culture and relaxation. We also were thrilled to encounter the adorable kittens at the olive oil tasting. Thank you, George, for a great day!

Great private tour of the best experiences in the city! George was very helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable. He told us all the history of Crete, and brought us to the best places. Thank you George for this experience!

We took a private day trip with George and was blown away by the wonderful sights of Crete and George’s extensive knowledge. From early communication, George was right on time and then accommodated our afternoon perfectly. A chance to make pottery the traditional way before learning all about the Olive industry and production of olive oil. Before relaxing in the Cretan hills and enjoy a local wine (or 6!) Last stop was a walking tour around the streets and walls of Heraklion before he kindly dropped us back to our hotel 10/10 for value, service & a great experience. If your heading to Crete and want a full tour - get this one booked you won’t be disappointed

Flexible and personalized service; very personable, experienced, and knowledgeable agent; great value

Very knowledgeable and flexible agent, personalized service, excellent all around.

We very much enjoyed the tour by George. He was flexible and informative. Each spot was very interesting and highlighted something of Crete’s history and/or culture. He was easy to engage and we enjoyed his narrative.

We had a great tour and enjoyed

Dimitris was an excellent guide and George did a great job communicatingwith us prior to arrival! My wife and children (7 & 11) very much enjoyed the trip start to finish. We started with the palace Knossos, which was an incredible experience. Dimitris advised us it would take about an hour to an hour and half. We took a bit longer because we stopped and learned about each area of the site, so probably longer than most. Dimitris was most understanding and gave us options on the rest of the tour. My wife said she really wanted to see the olive mill and he made sure that we knew it would be a bit longer than the original 4 hours since he also wanted the kids to experience the pottery making as well. It was no problem for him, he was just concerned about what time we needed to be back. Super kind. We then went to the olive mill, where we did a tasting and learned about the process. The next stop was the pottery shop where the owner made an amazing pot in front of us then let the kids try. They loved it. Our tour went longer than the original time, but again, our fault. Dimitris was most accommodating and answered all of our questions aboutt Crete and the area. It was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend it! Fantastic!!

Our tour guides George and Dimitiri were very nice, we really enjoyed all the activities we did. I highly recommend the olive oil tasting and pottery workshop. Our group were 4 teens and 4 adults, there was something for everyone! We had plenty of time to explore Knososs Palace, the museum and were even treated to Greek coffee by George and Dimitri, which was a surprising treat! The monastery is a must see too. Thank you for making our experience in Crete a memorable one!

We had an absolutely wonderful afternoon with Dimitris. We were met at the airport with cold waters, and taken to the Palace of Knossos, where Dimitris facilitated a very quick entry with lots of tips for the experience. We were then taken to Archanes for a lovely lunch surrounded by the charming village. Dimitris then took us to an olive mill and we were given a full tour- both of the olive grove and harvest process and the facility that makes the olive oil. We had a lovely tasting and were able to shop. George and Dimitris helped us have such a wonderful first day in Crete- and have made themselves available for other questions as well. Highly recommend!!
