The day was a bit longer,... - The day was a bit longer, but worth it if you’re interested in history/cultural origins. The Archeological Museum in Heraklion was a great accompaniment for the day. The Knossos Palace (remains) were really incredible. Our guide Elisabeth was so passionate and really made all the difference in our trip. Last but not least, our Driver Mr Kostas was so skilled on those roads! Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend!

Long day if you are... - Long day if you are travelling from Chania but if is well worth it. Manuelas was an excellent driver and Katarina was a terrific tour guide. Enjoyed seeing Heraklion and the Archaeological Museum. Learning about the Minoans and seeing Knossos was very interesting and informative.

Operator sent me on wrong trip. - Someone messed up and despite me asking for confirmation so my name wss added to a trip to Balos instead of Knossos. Always remember to make absolutely sure that the tour operator comes back stating the area you are going to. The people I was traveling with tried to organize a taxi to Knossos but since it was this operator who messed up they couldn't..This operator that fouled up simply refunded and organized taxi back to my hotel. Great.
