I asked for an early tour, my guide worked on the site also. She had intimate knowledge of the excavations and discoveries. This allowed for little known details… but the tour went quickly and I’d be remiss if I didn’t say I felt like I may have missed some things. It was an expensive tour, for the amount of time spent. I feel I would have benefited from the audio tour.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We are delighted that you appreciated your guide’s in-depth knowledge of Knossos and her firsthand understanding of the excavations and discoveries at the site. One of the greatest advantages of a live guided tour is exactly this opportunity to go beyond the standard narrative, ask questions, and explore details that are often absent from guidebooks and audio guides. We understand your feeling that the tour moved quickly at times. Knossos is an extraordinary archaeological site with many layers of history, mythology, and archaeology, and it is impossible to cover every aspect in a single visit. Regarding audio guides, they can certainly be a useful option for travelers who prefer to explore independently and at their own pace. A live licensed guide, however, offers a different experience: personalized storytelling, interaction, the ability to adapt the tour to guests’ interests, and answers to questions in real time. We truly appreciate your comments and are grateful you chose to discover Knossos with us. We hope to welcome you back to Crete for another journey into the fascinating world of the Minoans.
Our small group of 5 with Catarina as a guide was very informative. She was extremely knowledgeable making the tour very interesting.
Dear Lynne_H, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted that your small-group Knossos Palace skip-the-line tour with Catarina was informative and interesting. Sharing the history, myths, and Minoan culture of Crete is always our pleasure.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and up to date on the latest archeological developments of the site which has over turned the traditional theories that came from the 1800s. She was also just an excellent guide keeping us ahead of the large groups.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience at Knossos and appreciated the depth of knowledge and storytelling of your guide. Keeping ahead of the crowds while bringing the latest archaeological discoveries to life is exactly the kind of experience we strive to offer every guest visiting Crete. Your kind words mean a lot to our entire team, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another unforgettable journey through the history and mythology of Crete!
We had an absolutely fabulous tour of Knossos (2 adults and 2 kids aged 10 and 13)! Akrivi was an exceptional guide - super engaging (including for our kids) with a truly impressive knowledge of the archaeology, mythology, and political history, including very recent discoveries. She taught us so much that we never would have noticed or learned without the tour and did a great job weaving together what was believed about the site when it was first excavated, what archaeologists have since discovered, and how it connected to ancient Minoan and Greek cultures. Fantastic experience!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review! We are truly delighted to hear that your family enjoyed exploring Knossos together with Akrivi. Creating engaging experiences for both adults and children is something we care deeply about, and it means a lot to know that her storytelling, mythology insights, and archaeological interpretation helped bring the Minoan world to life for your family. Knossos is a place where myth, history, and ongoing archaeological discoveries constantly meet, and we are especially happy that you appreciated the balance between ancient legends, historical evidence, and the latest research connected to the site. Your kind words about Akrivi’s passion, knowledge, and ability to connect ancient Minoan civilization with wider Greek culture truly mean a lot to all of us at Travel Crete – WeGuide Travelers. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Crete again for many more adventures in the future!
