The best day of our vacation! This was a great tour, with an excellent guide. Marina had a real passion for the history of Heraklion and was able to answer all questions. Very well planned and organized tour, in few hours we visited the most highlights of the city. Archaeological Museum of Heraklion was the top of the tour,really worth it. Highly recommend this tour with Marina!
