Heraklion · SKIP THE LINE
4 reviewed
The shortlist we’d hand a friend landing in Crete: the 4 skip the line tours that earn their place, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and how it compares to the next one down.
Skip the long ticket line at Knossos and spend 90 minutes inside with a small-group guide explaining Minoan life, myths, and symbols.
“Our guide was amazing. Very pleasant and very easy to understand and talk to. Enjoyed the location and the amazing history and site itself. But not worth the additional $60+ over ticket prices for the tour.”
Skip the Knossos ticket line, tour Minoan highlights with a bilingual guide, then spend time in Heraklion’s museum and old streets.
“I really liked the tour guide Roxani (I think this was her name I’m really bad with remembering names) she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the Minoans and you could tell that she loves what she does. The bus driver was okay not anything special. Overall I really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it.”
Private half-day Knossos skip-the-line plus Heraklion museum and panoramic city time, with pickup and licensed guide.
“We were met by Christina whom was a pocket rocket. We travelled in absolute luxury to Knossos Palace where we were treated to the most knowledgeable tour of the sight which is just amazing, what an ingenious civilisation some 4,000 years ago. We then travelled to the Archaeological Museum which was mind blowing, again Christina provided us with the most informative tour. The tour was a little expensive however worth every single dollar and Christina’s experience and knowledge was priceless!”
Skip the line at Knossos with a small-group guide. See the oldest throne, theater, and drainage, plus the Minotaur story.
“Fabulous. Our guide was excellent. So informative and helpful. A fantastic trip we'll worth it”
