Overall a tour that we can definitely recommend. It was perfectly organised, pick-up from the hotel, friendly personnel and very modern busses. The programme was not too stuffed and good to digest. However, the tour guide can improve (thus 4/5 stars).

Notre groupe était composé de participants parlant anglais ou allemand. La guide a donc fait les visites dans les deux langues. Parfois, elle semblait perdre le fils de ce qui avait été dit en quelle langue, car ces propos semblaient décousus et étaient difficiles à suivre. De plus, la répétition des explications en deux langues à causé la visite guidée du palais de Knossos d’être très longue (trop longue).
