Meh. I could take it or leave it. This is a 12 hour day which is a bit much. Sadly only 1 of those 12 hours is spent at the ruins of the castle. The bus stops at 8 different hotels all over Chania instead of a couple group meeting points which makes the day longer. The one hour you get at the ruins you practically run behind the tour operator. Maybe other people will have more luck but me personally could not understand our guides broken English which ruined my experience. Find a car and get yourself to Knossos, there are 6 or 8 licensed tour guides standing at the gate all for hire. Actually learn something.

Andando prima al museo archeologico, si può comprendere meglio la struttura e la funzione di questo palazzo, simbolo della civiltà cretese. Parcheggio gratuito, possibilità di guide che vi accolgono all entrata oppure potete anche visitarlo da soli senza particolari problemi di comprensione. Evitate le ore più calde, ma tenete conto che poi arrivano i bus con i tour operator
