Use the route for a private transport enquiry
The published itinerary runs through Heraklion and Knossos, with Spilia, Koules and central-city stops and a hotel return. It advertises eight hours, a starting €160 for four people, English/German service, Wi-Fi and beverages. Confirm whether that quote covers your group, vehicle, luggage, pickup zone, waiting time and route. The page does not establish a classic coach excursion; a private transport and tailor-made enquiry is the appropriate starting point.
Commission licensed guiding and admission explicitly
A driver-led itinerary is not evidence of a licensed archaeological guide. The page does not establish palace or museum admission as included, and its museum description should not be treated as guaranteed entry or guided interpretation. Ask for a written plan naming the guide arrangement, language, site time slots, tickets, museum stop and all additional charges. Without that confirmation this remains a transport choice, not a ready-to-book guided palace-and-museum recommendation.

Consider the broader transfers and travel service
FTC also presents transfers, tours, tailor-made travel and accommodation arrangements. The consistent published contact is +30 6973348994 and info@ftc.gr. Secondary phone text and links differ on the reviewed page, so use the consistent main contact. A displayed registration number is operator identification, not an independent licence or service audit. Confirm the actual date, cancellation conditions and return journey before committing.
Planning questions
Does FTC’s itinerary establish a licensed site guide?
No. Request and price that service explicitly; a driver is not interchangeable with a licensed archaeological guide.
Are entry fees and museum entry included?
They are not established inclusions. Obtain a written quote covering each site and every extra.
