★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 351 reviews · from $50

Explore Knossos, Lasithi Plateau, Krasi, Vidiani Monastery, and an olive farm on a full-day Crete tour from Heraklion.

“We loved the caves and Knossos, the wee monastery and the trip across the Lasithi plateau. The olive farm was interesting and the food lovely (none of that felt expensive for what you got), however, because of the olive stop, we got to Knossos in the afternoon so did not have enough time to explore at our own pace, that part felt too rushed. My partner and eldest (15) stayed with the guided tour, lots of detail, but only a few parts of the site visited, myself and the twins (14) left the tour and had a more cursory explore of more of the whole site. It was quieter in…”

Then we travelled up the mountain to taste yogurt and pick strawberries and drink wine. Then we headed to Mesa Lesithi and drank coffee, ate cookies and drank wine in a very old home. The visit to the windmills and the mountain region was just fabulous. He’s amazing.”

Explore Crete’s Lasithi Plateau, Zeus Cave, Vidiani Monastery, Krasi, and an olive farm on a full-day trip from Heraklion.

“We had a good time during this excursion, the guide was knowledgeable and kind, hats off to the driver who was very professional on the steep and snaky roads! The excursion was not too long, perfect timing. The highlight was of course the grotto but get your legs ready for the climb as it’s steep. Monasteries are okay however time is short, not much to see anyway. Overall, great time and worth travelling to, we recommend.”

Taste Cretan olive oil, five wines, and a generous village lunch on a small-group tour from Heraklion with hotel transfers included.

“Very disappointed that we didn’t arrive at the winery which you advertised to us at booking & payment. We expected to arrive at countryside Lyrarakis Winery. We thought we were ‘short changed’ by this as there was no information provided. The hostess at Titakis ,however,was excellent. It would have been good to have had bread or some snacks at the olive oil tour as it was a long day from then until lunch - we arrived for that about 15.45.just for future information. Filosofus was an enjoyable experience.”

Explore Knossos with a licensed guide, then taste Cretan olive oil, wine, raki, apaki, and local foods near Archanes.

“An unmissable tour. Katarina was so enthusiastic, deeply knowledgable and kind. We really appreciated the information and stories she presented about the rich past of Crete and the Minoan Civilization. Being at Knossos really surprised me and was truly one of the most special places I've ever visited, but a great guide is essential here. Going into the second part of the tour we felt we couldn't get any better -- Ary was so knowledgable about Heraklion and it's more recent past and truly took us to some great spots all over the city. One of the best tours I've ever taken.”

Explore Crete through olive oil, village walks, mountain roads, raki, and wine tasting on a private seven-hour tour from Heraklion.

“What a wonderful day we had with Spyros. From the spanakopitas that he brought to kick off our tour, to the iced Greek coffee and pastry, to the fresh Greek yogurt and honey, his personalized attention and care was elevated. Beauty was everywhere and he gave us a real appreciation for the culture and way of life. The mountains were gorgeous and the plateau lush. When carsickness overtook a couple of us, he produced two perfectly ripe lemons and instructed us to scratch and sniff the peel. Sure enough, it was a magical cure! The olive oil factory gave us a next level appreciation for the process and taste. The…”
