“A tour with love and passion for the city ”
Evelyn is such a great guide! The tempo was just perfect, she told us so many interesting facts about the city - she literally had an answer for any question! Extremely professional, very attentive to any detail, creative and very well prepared (the historical facts, years, printed pictures). We have even got a small lesson of the Greek language!
Out of 10 we would give 12! The tour is much more above expectations!

“Great tour of Heraklion and great guide!!”
We recently enjoyed a walking tour in Heraklion and couldn’t be happier with the experience – especially thanks to our wonderful guide, Evelyn! She shared so much about the city’s history, culture, atmosphere, and must-see spots. Evelyn brought the past to life with engaging stories and memorable facts, making everything easy to understand and truly unforgettable. Her passion for Heraklion made our visit so much more special, and her recommendations on what to see and try were spot on. We highly recommend this tour – and especially Evelyn – to anyone visiting the city!

“Fantastic Guide”
She had the right amount of content about the city, with a sprinkle of fun facts you won't forget. It was very personable and a great person to talk to. We tried out her food recommendations after and they were delicious! Come to her tours!

“Nice tour”
Evelyn was great. She was on time and gave clear instructions for the meeting point.
She is very kind and insightful. Even when a couple was late, she gladly repeated the explanations on Crete occupation periods and liberation.
It was a great tour with her (part of it at least as we had to leave before it ended).

“Very good ”
Evelyn is a very sympathetic person who took us on an interesting tour through the city and it's history. She gave us some insight in the mythological background of the foundation of Iraklio, showed us the most important buildings of the city and places to eat, also parts of the town beyond the touristic center. The trip ended at the old city wall where Katzantsakis is buried and where you can get a wonderful overlook over the town. Most important Evelyn was always interested in answering additional questions. Highly recommend!

“It's the people you get to know on the journey”
It was simply amazing! Evelyn is so charismatic and funny! She taught us so much in such a light way, she would always make sure we understood what she just said and, if not, she would explain it in another way, until we managed to get it. The places she showed us were always interesting and we got the opportunity to get in touch/get to know the point of view of the locals. She also showed us points of the city where we, as tourists, would've not been able to get/fully experience without her tips. Besides the physical places she took us, she taught us about Cretan symbols and icons.
It's a tour you can make even if you have already walked through the town by yourself, Evelyn always has something more to teach!

“Wonderfoul way of discovering Heraklion ”
Nos gustó mucho la visita de Heraklion con Evelyn. Desde el primero momento nos sentimos muy cómodas con ella. Fueron dos horas - llenas de cultura, historia del lugar y de sus gentes y pequeñas curiosidades - que se nos pasaron volando. Nos trasmitió su pasión por la ciudad y por sus gentes. Sin duda recomendaríamos esta visita. Muchas gracias Evelyn.

“Very good experience ”
We met Evelyn close to the port and we started the guided tour. She was very kind, explaining us the history of the city and answering to all our curiosity. She suggested us some restaurants and activities to do and thanks to her we can see the essence of heraklion. Modern neighborhood was so cool, we never would be there alone, and the last stop was walking on the ancient wall enjoying a beautiful sunset!
