Passionnante visite!
Une visite privée en français, nous n'étions que deux avec notre guide Giorgous., génial ! Notre guide était très sympathique, passionnant et très pro, il nous embarque avec lui dans un voyage dans le trmps, on sent qu'il connaît le sujet sur le bout des doigts. Nous avons choisi l'horaire de 9h, ce qui était parfait, 1h30 de visite sur le site quasiment désert, avec beaucoup d'explications, de details . A partir de 10h30, les bus de touristes arrivent et envahissent les lieux, ça tombe bien, la visite se termine. Nous sommes restés encore 1 peu pour faire quelques photos.
Nous recommandons vivement, et ne regrettons pas d'avoir choisi une visite privée !!

Best tour with outstanding narrative.
We had an exceptional tour with Akrivi, she gave us insights into the meanings behind the myths. She also gave us an incredible history of the site and how it was utilized over time. Akrivi is so knowledgeable and kind. She showed us pictures on her phone to help augment her narrativr. She answered all of our questions and kept us in the shade due to the heat. This is an incredible tour, thank you!

Top tour.
We really enjoyed our tour which was so much more than just an explanation of the site.
Lots of wonderful insights into the mythology and culture. Our tour guide was enthusiastic

Worth it.
Akrivi our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Additionally, a tour guide made the experience much more meaningful and memorable and I learned so much that I didn’t know before. If you love history, it’s the way to go!
Lastly, skipping the line was an added perk that I didn’t appreciate until I got there- The lines can be LONG.
Suggestion to anyone visiting Knosos- wear sunscreen and hydrate. Also make sure to arrive early if by car, as parking is not easy

Viator review: Knossos Palace Skip-the-Line Ticket (Shared Tour - Small group)
We toured Knossos and the guide, Akrivi, was great. She had many facts and drew the
group into what life at the palace would have been like. It was great experience for
everyone in the group.
