Review of KeyTours’ Delphi day trip from Athens, with Temple of Apollo, museum, Arachova, guide, lunch options, and practical tips.

“Save your money… this tour operator is unprofessional. We arrived on time (8:20) but. could not find parking. I dropped 2 of our party to the bus at 8:25 while we went to find parking….. which we found close to a mile from the meeting point. The 2 members of our party that were dropped off explained that we were finding parking and they were told that the tour needed to leave. The tour operator refused to wait for us and refused to refund us our money!!!”

From Heraklion: Historical Center City Tour & Knossos Palace

5.Historical Center City Tour & Knossos Palace

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 340 reviews · 7 hours - 510 minutes · from $47

Explore Knossos and Heraklion on a guided Crete day trip with hotel pickup, city free time, optional museum visit, and multilingual guides.

“Soula was a very knowledgeable guide. She managed to do the tour in German and English at the same time. With some nice insights at the Knossos palace , it was a great to be there. A shame that it was too crowded to really enjoy and feel the Minoan history at Knossos palace. Since it was so busy at Knossos, we stayed there longer than expected resulting in that the tour in Iraklion was very short. Since we already visited the museum in a previous day, the tour ended earlier than expected for us”
