Knossos & Archaeological Museum Shared Guided Tour from Chania

Arguably the best tour guides on Crete, Christine and driver Thanos. Informative commentary throughout the day where we learnt about the island,its food and customs. Small group tour, plenty of water (it was hot), palace definitely the visit.

This was honestly one of the best full day tours I had in Crete. I have a fear of long bus trips but the two hours going in the mini bus, I was completely entertained by Christine, information about with Cretan culture and information about Cretan mythology. Full ac and wifi too. We were a small group of about 12 people. At Knossos, we had an excellent guide who truly was very knowledgeable and made sure that we had shade when possible. We got to visit the Archeological Museum (lots of interesting things to see) and had the option of going on a walking tour of with Christine in Heralkion or on our own; we chose the second option and had time for lunch. We supplied with cold bottles of water by our wonderful driver and even Cretan sweet cheese pies. On our way back on the bus, we even learn some Cretan phrases. Christine was excellent from the time I booked - confirming twice the pickup point via email to the tour itself - knowledgeable and very helpful.

If you want to actually appreciate Knossos, go on this tour😁

The exceptional service provided by all parties during our excursion enhanced the experience, making it even more enjoyable and relaxing. The attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor of the staff truly stood out. This was undoubtedly one of the best-organized trips we have ever taken.

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. Our teenage children are still raving about what they learned and saw at the Palace of Knossos; it was their favorite part of our trip to Crete.

What an amazing trip! Our bus arrived on time and we were greeted by the most pleasant driver and tour guide. The bus was clean and well kept. Our driver, Thanasis was great. We felt very safe throughout the drive as he adhered to speed limits.

Our tour guide Christine was amazing. She was funny, informative and provided a thoughtful presentation regarding Crete. She gave an overview of the culture, foods, customs and the mythological history.

Once arriving at Knossos Palace, a tour guide walked our group through the palace and gave detailed information along the route.

This was an absolutely thorough guided tour. The tour guides provided cold water and snacks as well. I highly recommend this tour!

We were collected in Chania at a really convenient place near our hotel. Christine was our guide, and together with our driver, made sure the journey to Knossos went smoothly and enjoyably, making sure we had enough water and that we were always comfortable, as well as telling us more about Crete.

Our guide at the Palace at Knossos and at the museum in Heraklion was knowledgeable and so enthusiastic. I learned so much about Minoan history while also enjoying the beautiful weather. We had some free time in Heraklion which was much appreciated.

Overall, I would genuinely recommend this tour as a way to see Knossos and Heraklion.

A well organised and informative tour covering the Minoan civilization. Our tour guide was excellent and I learned a lot. A great activity for those interested in learning about this civilization and seeing some spectacularly preserved ruins and artefacts.

We highly recommend this trip. Great communication prior to trip from Christine and enjoyable information on the small, comfortable bus. We were part of a group of 10 which was perfect for getting around the amazing archeological site and the museum. We had a specialist guide for the Minoan history who gave us great insights into the stories. There is so much to see, our guide picked the really interesting points.

Christine looked after us from start to finish.

We have hired a car out for the second part of the holiday, however with the one way systems, narrow roads and limited parking, I think it is much easier to book trips. Seabybus were excellent and picked us up and returned us to our accommodation in Chania.

This tour is a must-do if you’re on Crete! Christine was amazing at handling our tricky logistics. The on-site tour guide for Knossos was passionate and knowledgeable. I could have easily spent two days at the museum.

We took the tour of Knossos and the Heraklion museum from Chania and it was amazing! Christine was super helpful with logistics, the tour guide at Knossos was experienced and passionate about the site. The tour group was small enough that our guide was able to shepard us around the palace to minimize waiting in lines and maximize the places we saw. This tour was one of the highlights of our two weeks in all of Greece!
