We went there with teenagers that are highly interested in Greek history, and they were very excited to hear the history of Knosos. Tour was nice, but the prode is realy obscenely high. Plus- we booked guided tour online- that was high price already, and than few hours before tour itself- they have sent us a mail, we have to pay admision extra separately. Guide it self was highly knowlagable, but i guess after decades of such guideing- became like a machine- automated. History that we have learned is great, bug the price is really absurd.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Knossos Palace with us. We are truly pleased to hear that both you and your teenagers enjoyed discovering the fascinating history and mythology of Minoan Crete, and that you appreciated the deep knowledge of your licensed guide. Sharing the story of Knossos with younger travelers who are genuinely passionate about Greek history is always something very special for us. At the same time, we sincerely regret that the pricing structure created disappointment during your experience. We understand your concern regarding the additional admission tickets and we appreciate your honest feedback. We would kindly like to clarify that the selection of the tour option — with or without entrance tickets — is entirely chosen by the customer during the booking process on the platform. Different options are available in order to offer flexibility depending on each traveler’s needs and budget. Additionally, an officially operated guided tour provided by a licensed travel agency includes significantly more than the simple presence of a guide. The final price reflects legal taxes, social contributions, platform commissions, licensed professional guide fees, travel agency operating costs, civil liability insurance coverage, secure payment processing systems, and full compliance with Greek and European tourism regulations. Travel Crete – WeGuide Travelers operates as a fully licensed and legal travel agency in Greece, offering official invoicing, secure online payments by credit or debit card, professional liability coverage, and licensed tourist guide services. This differs substantially from unofficial or informal private arrangements that may not provide legal protection, insurance coverage, or regulated tourism services. Our online booking and tour distribution system operates fully within the legal framework of Greek tourism and European consumer regulations. Regarding the guiding style, our team consists exclusively of professional licensed guides with many years of experience in archaeology, history, and cultural interpretation. While experience brings depth of knowledge, we are sorry if the delivery felt too structured or less personal than you expected. We genuinely appreciate your visit to Crete and your thoughtful review. We hope the stories, myths, and history of the Minoan civilization remain a memorable part of your journey in Greece.
Our guide was informed and incredibly up-to-date on all the latest information about on-going archeological finds related to the site. She made the information entertaining and relevant, and answered all our questions. Absolutely excellent!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review, Geneva! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience. Our guides are passionate about staying current with the latest archaeological insights, and it's wonderful to know that this made your tour both engaging and informative. Your kind words and enthusiasm mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again soon for more discoveries with WeGuide!
Great tour, Katerina was very knowledgeable and informative. Palace itself wasn’t to crowded so you can enjoy it.
Thank you !!
The only way to visit and understand Knossos is to have Joanna Kalypso Glyptis as your guide. “Kalypso” in ancient Greek means “she that conceals”; a complete misnomer - Joanna herself is quite the opposite. She is the best historical guide we have ever used, anywhere. She is equipped with an extraordinary depth and breadth of knowledge of Middle East, Egyptian and Mediterranean culture, language and history. She draws a powerful picture of the emergence and decline of Minoan culture and the impact of the bull on mankind’s shift from hunter gatherer to agrarian domesticity. Joanna connected the dots for us across Iranian, Egyptian, Phoenician and Indo-European tribes and migration, and gave Knossos context. She challenges old dogma and myths and brings fresh insights into the role of women, and new interpretations of the roles of gods, witches and divines which interweave and embellish all religions. Her historical portrayal of Sir Arthur Evans and his unearthing of Knossos is revelatory. Joanna vividly emphasises the power of language and communication to cause major cultural shifts. Her own linguistic and intellectual prowess made our brains fizz.
Thank you !
