If you are looking for a tour with a local guide, this tour with Marina is the one to choose We walked through the city and got insights into the rich history of Heraklion and Crete. In my point of view it was the perfect balance between walking, enjoying, and snippets of knowledge, Marine shared. What I enjoyed furthermore about the tour, was that we did not only visit tourist places, but also streets, and shops especially locals would use But we not only had a nice "walk and talk". I highly recommend this experience to people who are looking for a well-balanced tour with a friendly, cordial, and knowledgeable guide.

A perfect experience. Very advisable as a first to do upon your arrival. Marina is a very enthusiastic guide, she provided a lot of information and showed us spots we never would see as a tourist. There were sufficient stops and we enjoyed tasting and learning about the local drinks and snack..
