What is labeled an 8 hr journey is misleading if you are staying in Heraklion! Ellaine our tour guide gave a great presentation BUT our portion of the tour was approximately 3 hrs and we had to pay same fee as everyone else. My advise is take the #2 bus to Palace, (Heraklion) pay the entry fee and speak with one of the many guides waiting for the opportunity to tell you the story of Knossos.

Tour started at Knossos...
Tour started at Knossos so it was not as crowded as it got later. It was August so it’s still pretty crowded. Archeological Museum was very good too. You see the frescoes that were recreated for Knossos.
Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat.

Multiple languages makes for a LONG tour
The guide was great but we did not enjoy the tour due to the length of time to complete everything. This was our fault but I want to make others aware so they don’t make the same mistake.
The tour is done in 2 languages. This is noted on their description but we didn’t think through the implications. That means twice as long at every stop along the way at the Palace. The Palace is outdoors with very little shade and gets extremely busy. Other tours blew past us and were done in half the time. They also were able to see more of the Palace grounds. Two in my family grew impatient and wandered on their own so they saw everything without the guide. We compared with the two who remained with the guide and they saw much less.
We can’t speak to the tour of the city as our family opted to tour the museum on our own versus doing the city portion since the Palace portion was so extended.
Again the guide was very kind and knowledgeable. This was not her fault, it was ours. We personally will not do another tour given in multiple languages.

A good visit
A truly beautiful place, rich in history and very well maintained. The Italian-speaking guide was excellent, courteous and very precise, with a great desire to share knowledge, very kind.

Visit to Knossos
The guide was very knowledgeable and made us relive the life of a palace buried underground for thousands of years.

The visit to the Palace of Knossos was very informative, thanks to a very competent guide who takes the time to provide important information at each stage of the visit.

Pickup at a multipurpose...
Pickup at a multipurpose bus station - we ended up on the wrong bus to the same location and it was difficult to rejoin the tour. Also there were not enough headphones so we couldn't hear the guide well. Otherwise the palace was interesting and worth seeing. We would take a city bus and hire a guide at the entrance if we were to do it again.

Great tour
I have always wanted to see the Bronze Age ruin and having a guide to help explain all the sites was great!
