Am the agent that booked this tour for My travel clients (Walters) and wrote this to me today.
"Just wanted to let you know to pass on to Vacanza...the tour today to Knossos was not so good. The driver did not speak much English (not a big deal), but more importantly his driving was super aggressive/erratic/not safe. We did ask him to give a bit more space between him and those he was tailgaiting on the way out. Quite scary. At times he was within a foot of vehicle in front. Passing on double lines. And at times he was going at 140 km. I know that drivers in Greece are different, but this was beyond.
When we arrived at Knossos there was no guide. We indicated that it was supposed to be a full day tour with English guide. Scott insisted that he call his boss who said we hadn't booked with guide, but after a few minutes said he would send someone. We waited for a bit, and ultimately had a fantastic guide show up named Roxanne. Scott also spoke to the "Boss" about the driving concerns. He said the driver wouldn't go more than 80 k on the way home. However, the tailgating behaviour started again on the way back. "
This is concerning and certainly not a pleasant review especially with the erratic and dangerous driving and disorganization of not having a guide present. I will appreciate a reply back.
