An unmissable tour. Katarina was so enthusiastic, deeply knowledgable and kind. We really appreciated the information and stories she presented about the rich past of Crete and the Minoan Civilization. Being at Knossos really surprised me and was truly one of the most special places I've ever visited, but a great guide is essential here. Going into the second part of the tour we felt we couldn't get any better -- Ary was so knowledgable about Heraklion and it's more recent past and truly took us to some great spots all over the city. One of the best tours I've ever taken.
Thank you so much !!!!
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 !
Thank you so much!!
We spent a wonderful day with Ioanna at Knossos Palace and the Archaelogical Museun of Heraklion. Was a memorable tour with a smart and very professional tour guide, passionate with her job and knowledge on so many topics. We highly recommend Ioanna she was incredible.
Thank you so much !!
Went to visit and was pretty disappointed. Long lines, poor maintenance and a real lack of quality explanations. They like to complain about the misinterpretation of the guy who discovered it but haven't done anything to really improve it.
Dear pimlicowolf Thank you for the review although you posted a review on our site concerning something that does not have to do with the services we provide, but we shall help you to maybe understand better the place you visited. Knossos is one of the monumental sites within Europe. Sample of the Earliest civilization of Europe. Like all world famous sites within Europe and Greece is within Europe, ancient sites within Europe fulfill certain standards, Knossos has a long line when one tries to enter. That is why guests book with us to avoid such long lines. Although in the Louvre one might have to stand for hours before reaching the ticket booth! As for maintenance there are regulations concerning ancient sites...one does realize that maintaining a 4000 year old site is almost impossible. That is why Greece and other countries with ancient sites are part of the program Hercules in order to save ancient sites from becoming extinct. The style of maintenance and restoration conform with the UN regulations of preservation and protocols as set in 2016. Who exactly are the they that you mention that complain? The Gentleman Sir.Arthur Evans did not discover the site but excavated the site for 30 years investing not only time but also his personal finances and helped the union of Crete from the Ottomans and union with Greece after finding the oldest throne of Europe in Knossos. Evans is part of history, the end of an Era of the Victorians and part of the evolution of the science later on known as archeology. The signs in the site of Knossos, describe clearly what one sees and within brackets what Evans at the time believed. You mention they ? They haven’t done anything? The BSA(British school of archeology of Athens) and the Greek school has a whole library for all the schools of archeology and academics, as well as there are many papers on line, or you could book directly a guide with our agency and have the opportunity to hear all the latest concerning Knossos and Minoan Crete. Excavations still are on going and there is much to learn ! Like in all ancient sites one can purchase a guide book, book a shared tour or even a private tour. Please feel free to contact us upon your return to Crete.
My guide (Joanna) was a breath of fresh air. From start to finish her presentation of ancient and historical information admist the backdrop of artifacts and ruins made for a truly enjoyable experience. She was easy to talk to and even though you knew you might not be as educated, she was very courteous. I imagine that it must get tiresome with repeat tours keeping the energy up but Joanna never made it seem that way. The best guide for one of my favorite sites.
Thank you!
Joanna Glyptis was our tour guide. Rather than following typical protocol of providing historical facts she offered her own view on the history of humanity from a different prospective. I was afraid to miss a single word from her presentation. We highly recommend her for open minded and independently thinking people. We travel a lot and we have learned that guides of this level of professionalism are almost nonexistent.
Thank you !!
One of the highlights from our two-week vacation in Greece. In fact, our tour of Knossos and the Archeological Museum was such an enlightening excursion that we asked to schedule another private tour on the following day of nearby Phaestos. Both tours gave us amazing value for the price. Why a guide? Knowledge about the Minoan sites and their significance to ancient Greece is incomplete, and guidebooks can be misleading. Our wonderfully, entertaining and scholarly guide, Joanna, shared up-to-date facts, as well as theories, about the sites (and their surrounding geography) based on the latest archaeological and anthropological scholarship. Our time exploring Minoan culture and artifacts was unforgettable - thanks to our guide. Booking through Viator was easy.The tour operator, Foniadakis Travel Center, also great to work with.
Thank you so much !!
This tour was phenomenal. Johanna didn't simply walk us through the Knossos site and the museum, she walked us through history, anthropology, and sociology, while highlighting the impact of cultural bias on assumptions and interpretation. It was education, not simply relaying information, and days later, and I am actively researching elements of the history, philosophy and interpretation of what she exposed us to. The city tour was a fun added element (and we were shown where to go for great Mezze later that night!).
Thank you so much!!
Johanna was an excellent guide and I enjoyed her erudite explanations and the links she made from our morning visit to Knossos to the exhibits in the museum. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much!!
I was lucky enough to be on a tour that includes a visit to Knos Palace, the Archaeological Museum and the town of Heraklion. Joanna is a delightful guide! Very exciting tour and not boring at all! I recommend that all those who want to not only see one of the main attractions of Greece, but also learn more about Greek culture, philosophy, traditions in general. Great!
Thank you !!!!
