very good

Overall good; good and competent tour guide with detailed information; Knossos is a must in Crete, but it is very crowded there (3,000 visitors per day). Therefore, the supporting program with the demonstrations and the slide show as well as the visit to the museum in Heraklion, where there is more time to take a closer look at certain things (e.g. a model of Knossos), is very well put together. There were problems because a fax, which should remind us of changed departure times, did not reach us at the hotel. But everyone was trying very hard to solve the problem.

It's perfectly alright

Some information about this tour, which may be useful: 1. The pick-up time can be very early. Our hotel is south of Agios Nikolaos and we were picked up at 6:20. The original plan was 8:00 am. In the end we were on the road for almost 13 hours. 2. The group can be very large. In our case there were over 50 people. Fortunately, audio systems have been around recently, otherwise you wouldn't have noticed anything from half of them. 3. There is little to eat. With allergies, it is therefore advisable to take something with you. The Minoan demonstration includes bread, dumplings, feta and olives, as well as watermelon and grapes for dessert. You have the opportunity to buy something later in Heraklion but then you will probably miss the museum. If our hotel hadn't provided us with the breakfast box enough, it would have been a hungry day. Positive: The tour management and the bus driver were very friendly and did their best.

Exceptional impressions, best organization and expert guide
