    Our very nice city guide showed us the best corners of Heraklion.

    Our tour guide, whose name I unfortunately forgot, spoke very understandable and good English and told us so much about Heraklion and the history of Crete in general. We were a group of about 7 people, so you always heard everything. She was very open to our questions and was happy about our interest. We are very happy about this city tour, because we not only had a better overview, but also knew a lot about the buildings etc. and were also able to explore corners that we would never have got to know otherwise. Everything went smoothly with our electronic tickets. It should also be noted that the tickets for Knossos and the Arch. Museum each cost around 15 euros (as far as I can remember). So you actually "save" a lot. The tickets are also valid for 3 days, so you can plan the visits as you wish in the further course of your holiday. So I can only recommend this city tour.

    We recommend! Our city guide Ary was very nice and very charming introduced us to the city and the customs. Then we visited the museum in Heraklon and the Knossos palace. The tickets were also included, which makes this offer very interesting in terms of price. Always my pleasure!
