This tour was highly recommended by a friend, and wow, totally exceeded all expectations! Eddie is a lovely, friendly, funny and knowledgeable guy... I seen and learned more about Crete in one day than I have in all the years going there! The tour included a visit to olive oil factory, cave of Zeus, lovely lunch with wine in the beautiful village of Mochlos, Lassithi plateau (stunning views) and finally wine tasting at the winery which was the perfect end to a perfect day ???? So if you want to see the real Crete and have a fantastic day out with a wonderful guide, book with Eddie... You will not regret it

Adonius met us 15 minutes before the scheduled show time. The van was clean, spacious for six adults, and very comfortable for the ride to Knossos (2 hours away). The archaeologist, Irene, who was contracted as our tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer technical questions at both the Palace and Museum. We had a brief snack in Heraklion in the Venician Quarter before we returned. We were back at the dock slightly ahead of the eight hours contracted & were able to have dinner on our ship. FAR BETTER THAN A CRUISE EXCURSION, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Less expensive, more comfortable and a better guide

We had a great experience with the Knossos Palace and Zeus Cave tour. Alexander was our guide. He has a pleasant personality and is very knowledgeable regarding Crete history. During our visit of Knossos Palace we were guided by Maria who was also very pleasant and knowledgeable. The restaurant near Zeus cave suggested to us for lunch served tasty food combined with an amazing view. The communication with the agency was perfect and it was no issue to shift the date of the experience due to bad weather on the originally booked day (however, I expect this would be more difficult during the main season). The tour is certainly worth the money and especially in these times a private tour feels more comfortable compared to large group events. There was no discussion for Alexander and us to always wear our masks while in the car together which was much appreciated considering that not all drivers or waiters on Crete wear their masks all the time. In total this was a highly recommendable experience we would certainly book again during our next visit to Crete.

Somewhere between heaven & earth, there is a Cretan beach paradise sculpted by nature over ancient times.

With your toes sinking in the fine white sand that is blissfully blended with flecks of pink from millions of crushed shells as the fresh sea-breeze touches your cheeks leaving salt crystals in its wake.
