"My whole family ages 24-65 enjoyed Eleni’s tour of Knosos and the Archeological Museum of Crete. She knows her history - not only of the ancients of Crete, but of other civilizations across the timeline. She is a good storyteller though and kept us all engaged and interested. "
"We were so happy to find Withlocals on our visit to Heraklion for a guided tour of Knossos with Eleni. She was communicative about arrangements that made everything smooth and her historical knowledge was amazing. She had a good itinerary, kept a good pace, adeptly answered our questions and we learned so much. I could not imagine visiting Knossos without a guide, but feel doubly grateful to have been led on our visit by Eleni! "

Informative tour, friendly guide
"Really enjoyed our time exploring the Palace of Knossos. Eleni was very nice and knowledgeable about the ruins. She was also patient and accommodating with our kids who were struggling with the heat. Highly recommend."
"My partner and I had a wonderful time with Maria. Found places we wouldn't have without her and tasted a few things we wouldn't have tried. Such a lovely woman and such a great city. And the food is amazing"
"It was a pleasure touring with Kaliopi. She was full of information about the history of Heraklion. She was very passionate about the history and wr learned a lot. The food was delicious. Thank you for spending the afternoon with us. "
