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
and really brought the labyrinth (palace) to life.

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.

Thalia enthusiastically shared her admiration for the Minoans, their achievements, culture, and the mythos about them.
Try to get Thalia as your tour guide. She has a true admiration for the Minoan people and it’s such a delight to hear her talk about the history, mythos, and culture of the people of Knossos from her perspective. We learned a lot and now have a tremendous appreciation for the Minoan people, too.

Great guided tour of Knossos!
Our tour guide was very friendly and super knowledgeable. She told us many facts that we
would have never know without this tour. We really enjoyed walking the ruins with her and
hearing all the stories and Greek mythology. Definitely worth it!
