For cruise ship passengers, make sure to pay attention to the name of the cruise port where you dock. We docked in Chania NOT Heraklion. Viator is serious about a 24 hour cancellation policy. I noticed my mistake too late to cancel or reschedule. Very disappointed, sick about and unhappy.

Maria was a magnificent guide and she structured our tour beautifully. Our group was quite varied in terms of walking ability and attention span, and the day was hot, but she helped us navigate the heat, uneven ground, and crowds at Knossos to give us a sense of the scope and beauty of the site. We then moved to the museum, and with the context she had created at the palace and her knowledge of the collection we moved through it with much greater appreciation than we would have had without her guidance. I LOVED the museum as she presented it. Next, we had been in communication with the tour agency about perhaps stopping at a beach before returning to the ship, but we hadn’t finalized those details. Maria and Manolis, our driver, were very flexible and helped us arrange the additional payment necessary for the extra stop and choose which part of the beach would be best. After dropping Maria and the non-beach goers at the port, Manolis took us to a lovely reasonably priced spot where we relaxed and then brought us back to the ship in plenty of time. It was a wonderful day.
