5.00It was a great tour. Our guide was very informative and told the history of the site with lots of knowledge to impart. I really didn’t know much about the site or the history of Crete before I came, so it was great to have a guide who knew so much.
Great tour. Knowledgeable guide

5.00We were fascinated by the narrative provided by our most informative and passionate guide. AKRIVI was our guide. Her level of knowledge and professorial presentation skill is exceptional and amazing. The description of information was presented as a narrative story with phenomenal detail. This tour provided the perspective of history and mythology of the Minoan Civilization capturing and exceeding my wildest expectations. I have had fascination with the Minoan Civilization as my Papou was born in Santorini. Thank you for spurring further fascination and desire to do my own further research and reading.
