Explore the Palace of the legendary King Minos, wander through the alleys where kings and priestesses walked in and find the signs of the famous Labyrinth that housed the ferocious Minotaur. After a 1. , 30 hours guided tour we head towards the centre of the city of Heraklion for a walking tour to feel its buzz. See the Lions fountain of Morosini where locals meet up for a snack or drink. Taste local delicacies such as souvlaki or bougatsa in the heart of the town or buy local products. After this or before, a guided tour at the Archeological museum of Heraklion will implement your knowledge of the magnificent Minoan civilization. Discover the first Advanced European civilization of the Bronze Age in Knossos.
Pants was GREAT!! one of our group of four fell ill with the heat, and he got the car, took her back to the cruise ship, and was back with the rest of us in less than 20 minutes! He is incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, entertaining, accommodating, and in short, the perfect guide! He took us to a local restaurant for lunch, which actually ran over an hour of his a lot of time. The food was beyond spectacular and the service was even better. thank you Panos!
What an amazing tour guide. You hire a guide and you get a great tour and a friend. Can’t speak highly enough of our experience!
We had a substitute guide, Maria, who did an amazing job! We loved her! She was so interesting and engaging!
Panos was remarkable. He is extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly. He went over and above to accommodate our schedule and needs. We had to overcome some logistical issues and Panos solved them all in order to make this tour work. We cannot thank him enough!
Although this was Panos’ first tour of Knossos he was very knowledgeable and informative. Plus, he was very humorous. He also gave a great tour of the Archeological Museum.
