A unique tour to the ancient Crete!!!
The centre of Minoan civilization and capital of Minoan Crete lay 5km south of Heraklion The Minoan palace is the main site of interest at Knossos, an important city in antiquity, which was inhabited continuously from the Neolithic period until the 5th c. AD. The palace was built on the Kephala hill and had easy access to the sea and the Cretan interior. According to tradition, it was the seat of the wise king Minos. The Palace of Knossos is connected with thrilling legends, such as the myth of the Labyrinth, with the Minotaur, and the story of Daidalos and Ikaros.

My little group consisting of my wife, myself and a fried decided that we could see more of Ireland if we hired Daytrip car and driver to take us from Galway to Wexford with a stop at Kilkenny. Our driver Austin was an extra gem! Pick up was on time, car was spotless, and Austin a cheerful effective driver with a great knowledge of the areas we would drive through. Using Daytrip allowed us (particularly me) to relax and enjoy the journey. All the booking process was as close to effortless as is possible.

Orestis, our driver made this a wonderful day to remember. He collected us and drove the 90 miles to the Palace of Knossos stopping en route at a lovely village where we were treated to coffees and traditional Creton pastries and pancake - so delicious and welcome. No need to worry about a long journey as we made this initial stop and could stop for breaks at any time.
Orestis was a gem, his driving was excellant and safe and he was so lovely to chat with. We learnt so much more about Crete through him. He was totally responsive to all our needs for the day; taking us to the museum after we had toured the palace and then via a supermarket on our way home as we wanted provisions for supper.
Orestis gave us tips for good eateries and we thouroughly enjoyed learning about his life in Crete. He made the day a day to remember.

There is no better tour company than this one! We used them over three days to sightsee and travel. The drivers are friendly, knowledgeable and safe. This company is so flexible and will customize your tour to let you have the best time. I can’t recommend them more highly. Our driver also took us a tavern that he knew he would love with authentic Greek food.

We enjoyed our tour to Knossos.
Best of all was the tour guide (archeologist also) from the beginning to the end.
She is very knowledgeable and kind.
I recommend Exploring Creta if you want to make a tour with guide.

Private day tour Knossos
We had the most amazing 8-hr day trip with George the driver of Exploring Creta in Crete! He picked us up from the cruise ship at Port of Souda and after 50 minutes we stopped to enjoy a coffee at Rethimnon city. When we arrived at the Knossos palace our guide was expecting us there and without waiting for the tickets, as she has already bought , we got into for a beautiful tour back to the history of Crete. The highlight was the stop to the winery on the way back to our cruise ship. It was a really wonderful pass from Crete that make us decide that we definitely

That tour, was definitely one of our best memories! Natassa and Panagiotis, are so gentle, helpful and professional s. Have organized everything we need till the last detail and behavied to us not as clients, but as their friends and that is the difference. A new one, comfort, luxury car with a professional, safe driver. Knossos Palace is something magical and you can live for a while your travel to ancient Minoans. My children loved that place and the tour. I definitely suggest that to anyone. Thanks for everything Natassa and Panagiotis! We hope to see you again....
