★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 27 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $253

Small-group Knossos skip-the-line plus Archanes olive oil, wine and raki tastings, with easy Heraklion pickup and a licensed guide.

“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.”

5-hour Heraklion e-bike tour with sea views, Venetian walls, and Greek food and wine tastings guided by Alex.

“We had an excellent time seeing Heraklion with Alex. We love a bike tour because it keeps our four kids engaged while we are able to learn about a city. We ended up having the tour to ourselves as a family of six and Alex was very accomodating and engaging for our family's pace and interests. We learned about the city, but also just enjoyed out time. Basic bike skills are all that are required for an easy and enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommend.”
