“DO NOT GO! SAVE TIME AND MONEY!!! We have expected so much more from a museum of the Minoan World. The whole experience was 30 minutes and not 45 as presented in the presentation on the website when I have booked the tickets. There were 4 movies: one with pictures from Crete, one with a person (probably the founder of the museum) giving a brief presentation, one about the genesis of the Minoan culture and a last with a canion ride in a roller coaster.

The 2 hours went by quickly as they provided videos and discussion of Crete, Knossos and Heraklion to provide enough background in order for us to know what we would be looking at. They gave us ample time in Heraklion to visit the museum and explore the City and have lunch. Highly recommend this tour operator as they were friendly, accommodating and again it was a comfortable ride and the drinks…”

“Love this tour operator. Christine's communication with us, from booking to pick up, was exceptional. The guided tour was well-paced and educational, as was the walk through the city.
