Katarina is Exceptional!!!!

Published on Jun, 2024

Good Day! We had the honor of listening & learning from Katarina!!! Her knowledge base is extraordinary! Her personality & how she engages us was exceptional! She was so funny & kept us entertained & interested the entire time! It was a lot of information! I want to learn & listen to Katarina again!!!! She made the trip to Knossos absolutely wonderful!!!!

Great tour and guides

Published on Dec, 2023

Very good tour and guides at Knossos and the museum. There are guides available for hire at the entrance to Knossos as well. The museum is definitely worth it for those interested in history. You should be aware that all the tall structures, pillars and frescos at Knossos are reconstructions.

A Must Do in Crete!

Katarina was a fantastic tour guide that provided very good insight into the site and was extremely helpful in assisting getting to the museum back in town along with providing a very detailed and interesting tour

Wonderful visit to Knossos

Published on Jul, 2023

Our guide George was fantastic! He took us to both the palace as well as the museum. He was well prepare in all aspects, including how to avoid too much sun at the palace. I highly recommend this tour. I would’ve missed a lot trying to go without a guide.
