Published on Oct, 2024

Both sites were very interesting to visit and discover, especially Knossos. We had a very knowledgeable tour guide who was also attentive to the people in our group, spoke clearly and made the experience very positive.

A Must!

Published on Sep, 2024

Our primary goal was to explore Knossos Palace, and it certainly did not disappoint. We had a great time strolling through the city and touring the fort. The trip was excellently planned and would recommend this if you want to get a feel of the city.

Great tour

Published on Aug, 2024

Very professional, knowledgeable (studied archeology!) and yet entertaining guide for the Knossos Palace and Heraklion's old town, both in English and (practically perfect) German; extra guide for French speakers. Tour was well organized and ran absolutely smoothly. Short-term booking (just one day in advance) was no problem, easy and friendly e-mail communication with backoffice. Tour was definitely worth the money, highly recommend it.

Amazing day!

Published on May, 2024

Again another amazing trip with Cretan Odyssey! Well organised, lovely tour guide who was so informative and knowledgeable!
