★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 351 reviews · from $50Our pick

Full-day Crete tour from Heraklion hitting Knossos, Vidiani Monastery, Lasithi Eco Park, Krasi springs, plus an olive mill farm.

“This trip is amazing, especially if you have limited time in Crete. Our guide was great, knowledgeable and handy with information. On the description of this tour, it should note there is a steep 25min walk up to the Zeus caves and you will need suitable footwear. Lunch at the olive farm was also great however it was quite late in the day. Should maybe re-areange so lunch is earlier than 2pm however was great regardless! Highly recommend!”

“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.”

A 4-hour small-group food walk in Heraklion tasting bougatsa, honey sweets, raki and more, with market stops and key landmarks.

“The places we went were varied and local fare. The pace was fast enough and the mix with restaurants and antiquities was just right. It would have been better if the guide could have used a microphone but I don’t know if that would be allowed in the area. Maybe headsets would be a good choice since it’s hard to hear with all the background noise.”
