Private Tours

Make arrangements for a private tour at Knossos, the archaeological Museum of Heraklion or any other site on Crete. The Minoan Civilization is not represented by Knossos only, there are more archaeological sites you should explore while on Crete. We can arrange the transportation, chauffeur services, (driver or licensed guide and driver)  to pick you up from the desired location and guide you around in sites, such as Malia (the palace of King Sarpedon), Phaistos (the Palace of King Radamanthys), Ayia Triada. There are a number of sites that are not known to the public, but they are highly interesting and fine examples of Minoan architecture. Join us to see the best of Crete…

The private tours can be half day or full day programs /tours, or if you wish we can plan round trips on Crete and we can include the highlights of every prefecture of the island Crete. The program can be tailor made according to your wishes. You can include sites from different periods (Venetian fortresses, Minoan sites, Minoan cemeteries, or modern cities, places of natural beauty  – Crete is famous for the gorges – Samaria, Imbros, Aradena).

Our team of experienced qualified guides will help you combine tours and see as much as possible. We don’t just offer drivers who can “comment along the way” or explain “about the sites in the car”. We offer the services of licensed guides, with further academic education or archaeologists that have graduated from the Collage of Guides and are registered at the Association of licensed Guides of Crete. Licensed guides are qualified to accompany you in the sites, the museums all over Greece.
