Great to have time to see and do what I wsnted. The idea of this tour is really just a transfer to heriklion and Knossos but that suited me

Nobody turned up to collect us at the agreed location. When I called the operator I was given a new location ten minutes away. When we arrived there there was still no bus waiting, and when I tried to contact them again, my call wasn’t answered, and I was just sent a text saying that we were too late.
