We booked a private tour with Knossos Guides which was easy to do online. We arrived at the site and were quickly introduced to our guide, Thalia. She is an excellent guide and really brought Knossos alive with her knowledge and insights. We cannot recommend Thalia highly enough. The tour was really worth the extra.

Get there early enough to find parking. The complex can be visited quickly without a guide. There is also an opportunity to eat.

Our tour guide was amazing! Tremendously knowledgeable about the history, archeology, mythology and culture of the site and the era. The small group, there four of us, made it easy to ask questions and soak in the information.

Katerina is a terrific guide - very knowledgeable about the Minoans and Mycenae: their history, their religious and cultural traditions and differences, how the Minoans brought water to the palace and created ‘modern’ plumbing, and what happened to the Minoans. She is wonderful at getting people to imagine life at the Palace and on Crete 3500 years ago.

Unless you are happy wandering around ruins without any idea what you are looking at, book a guide. We had a group of only 7. The whisperers were barely needed but nice to have. Also advise buying the ticket through them as it made it all super easy and efficient when we arrived.

I cannot imagine seeing such a significant historical sight without a knowledgeable guide like Akrizi. She was excellent. It was a super hot day so she kindly brought us to shade to be more comfortable. I highly recommend this tour if you are in the area.
