Excellent and engaging guide!!
"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. "

Knossos + Eleni = Awesome!
"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! "

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Heraklion spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Heraklion.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Heraklion, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Heraklion awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Heraklion, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Heraklion. Get ready to explore like a local!
