Amazing tour guides! Loved this tour! - Our tour guide at Knossos Palace was excellent. She was very informative and knowledgeable. My only complaint was that after the tour, no one told us what to do next! If we hadn’t asked the guide, we would have missed the city and tasting tour completely. Apparently, we were the only group continuing on the city tour! The guide was so kind and called us a taxi to take us to Heraklion for the tour. We met our tour guide, Eri there at the bus stop. She was phenomenal!! We got a private tour and she took us to several eating establishments. When she found out we hadn’t eaten breakfast, she made sure we were taken care of! We went to a local shop where we met some wonderful people. They served us a big charcuterie board of local cheeses, olives, bread sticks, etc. It was so great to relax there. We visited some local sites, also. So wonderful tour guides - just need a bit more organization with the transition!
