Wonderful tour with excellent guide. Fascinating place. All the most famous pieces are in archaeological museum though. It's still amazing to walk thru

We enjoyed the trip and had a first class guide for the palace of Knossos. Glad that the trip was in the morning as it was very hot as we were leaving.

Both of our guides were really good and had a lot of knowledge on the area. They were also helpful in making sure we made our connections back to the hotel so that we could catch our flight to Rhodes. The only complaint would be the cost of the tour for what we received. The booking said it was a 5 hour tour but really was 1.5 hours at site and then a short bus ride to the town square for a couple hours of shopping / free time. I expected more. The museum is closed due to renovations so perhaps that is part of the problem.

My mum had really wanted to visit this so I booked a trip. It was very expensive and when we got there we still had to pay an additional 6 euros to get in. What was even more annoying was that most of the artifacts found had been moved to the museum in the main town. This meant yet another entrance fee to pay and another coach trek. The guide was knowledgeable, but the lack of artifacts and the "partial rebuild" made this not the most interesting of history trips.
