An Unmissable Tour

Published on Sep, 2023

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.

Wonderful time travel to the Ancient Minoan civilization

Published on Aug, 2020

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 !

Knossos Palace and Archaeological Museum of Heraklion guided walking tour

Published on Aug, 2020

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.

Historical Accuracy Appreciated

Published on Nov, 2019

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.

The best ever tour guide.

Published on Oct, 2019

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.
