Separate the guided palace from city free time
The Heraklion-area excursion includes bus travel and an English-speaking official guide at the palace. Knossos admission is excluded. Afterward, free time in Heraklion can be used for lunch, shopping or the museum. The operator explicitly describes the museum as optional, without guiding and with its admission excluded. This is a practical palace-and-city excursion, not an all-inclusive two-site guided package. Request the current date, language, price, duration and child conditions.

Choose a pickup area and discuss the walking route
Published areas include Lygaria–Ammoudara, Heraklion city centre, Kokkini Hani/Gouves/Analipsi, Anissaras/Hersonissos and Malia/Stalida. They describe booking zones; they do not establish that every hotel door is served. Obtain the exact point, time and return instructions. The operator warns of uneven and inclined surfaces and difficulty for visitors with physical mobility limitations. Discuss the actual route and bus access instead of relying on a general destination accessibility label.
