“Hiden and unuseful path in Heraklion”
Unfortunately we were not fully satisfied as we went on a path of road workers! We didn't get an over views or nor a tip of the main attraction to visit.

“A Great introduction to the city.”
Eleonora was a great host. We would definitely recommend you take this tour. It was a relaxed atmosphere and we were able to ask whatever questions we had as we went. She showed us places that we would have not seen otherwise and told us about the history, traditions and food of the local area. We took up her recommendations and went for a coffee with our fellow tour member afterwards and came back later in our holiday to eat at the restaurant she recommended with our family. Fantastic Cretan food. Thank you. :)

“A perfect introduction to Heraklion”
Eleonora was very informative, and showed us places in Heraklion that we would never have seen otherwise. And the music at the end was worth the wait.

“Outstanding tour”
We had an incredible tour of Heraklion! Our guide was exceptionally professional and engaging throughout the whole experience. The tour covered a fascinating variety of perspectives, from Minoan archaeological finds to hidden gems from different historical eras that tourists usually miss. We loved exploring the city walls, the bustling local market, and learning about what life on the island, especially in the mountain villages, was like in the past versus today. To top it all off, the guide arranged a wonderful performance at the end featuring an ancient instrument somewhat resembling Scottish bagpipes. This was a local live music played by a talented musician.
It was moving, deeply connected us to the local atmosphere, and incredibly educational. Highly recommended.

“Una palabra: encantador”
He hecho el free tour con Eleonora, y solo puedo decir que ha sido encantador. Nos ha llevado por zonas menos conocidas y menos concurridas de Heraklion, que era exactamente lo que buscaba. Eleonora es maravillosa, conoce Creta y su cultura perfectamente, y durante el recorrido nos dijo datos sobre la ciudad que ninguna de las personas que estábamos en el tour sabían.
Ha sido una experiencia que volvería a repetir.

“Lovely Tour”
The tour was great! Eleanora was super nice, told us a lot of interesting stories and facts. Since it was a hot day, she didn’t rush through the city. So it was more like a relaxed, informative walk with friends.
Would definitely do it again!

“Fantastic intro to Heraklion and Crete”
Eleanora’s tour was terrific and such a great way to be introduced to a city where we didn’t have a great deal of time. A really nice mix of history and current cultural context. Highly recommend!

“Wonderful Walking tour of Heraklion with Eleonora and Odysseas”
Eleonora is delightful and took us on a beautiful walking tour of Heraklion, my wife and I loved it. Eleonora was very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality. At the end of the tour Eleonora's partner Odysseas played traditional Greek and Cretan instruments in a beautiful square. The music was so nice, really interesting and a great surprise. A wonderful 1.5hrs, highly recommended.

“Like a private Tour ”
The Tour was really interesting. It was only my Partner, the Tour Guide Eleonora and myself so it felt more like a Chat amongst friends. The vibe was really good and Eleonora answered all of our questions. She could accustom the Tour to our interests as well, that was really nice!
