Great tour and guides - Very good tour and guides at Knossos and the museum. There are guides available for hire at the entrance to Knossos as well. The museum is definitely worth it for those interested in history. You should be aware that all the tall structures, pillars and frescos at Knossos are reconstructions.

Wonderful visit to Knossos - Our guide George was fantastic! He took us to both the palace as well as the museum. He was well prepare in all aspects, including how to avoid too much sun at the palace. I highly recommend this tour. I would’ve missed a lot trying to go without a guide.
