Heraklion Walking Tour with tasting review
We had a fantastic time on this walking tour of Heraklion! Our guide was very flexible and happily adapted the tour to what we were most interested in. We heard so many fascinating stories about the city's history, and walking through the old town felt much more meaningful with all that background. The tasting stop was a real highlight, and the traditional bougatsa was delicious. It was a relaxed, enjoyable and informative experience from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Heraklion beyond the usual sights!
