Compare Venice gondola formats in the app or website
GetYourGuide offers a dedicated Venice gondola category and a consumer travel app. It can be used to compare private, shared, day/evening and combined experiences where offered, then manage the chosen activity and voucher. Compare the actual supplier, route, duration, meeting point, language and cancellation terms. A category page or app listing does not confirm seats at the dock or guarantee that all advertised formats are available on your date. Download or retain the voucher and meeting instructions before travelling.

Read the selected Knossos option rather than the platform name
The reviewed Knossos product names TravelCrete–WeGuide as supplier and describes 1.5 hours of English licensed guiding with palace entry included. It offers a small-group option up to 8 and a standard option up to 22; select the actual group rather than applying the direct WeGuide tour’s 16-person limit. Heraklion-city hotel pickup/drop-off is optional per person. A 13:30 museum-guided add-on is separately offered for about 90 minutes, with museum transport excluded and private transfer available. Confirm museum admission, timing and the cost of each extra; it is not an automatic five-hour both-sites bundle.

Check arrival, access and product-specific terms
The palace meeting instructions require arrival 20 minutes before the booked start; drivers are advised to allow extra time. A late arrival may lose the entry slot or require a new ticket, and rejoining is not guaranteed. The selected product is described as not wheelchair accessible and publishes 24-hour cancellation conditions. These terms belong to that option, not every platform activity or Venice gondola ride. Check the final supplier instructions, selected date, accessibility and refund conditions. No checkout, booking or live-seat test was completed.

Planning questions
Is GetYourGuide the company leading the Knossos tour?
It is the booking platform. This selected product names TravelCrete–WeGuide as supplier.
Does a palace ticket automatically include pickup and the museum?
No. Pickup and the guided museum add-on depend on the selected extras; museum transport is excluded and admission needs confirmation.
Can I still use the platform for Venice gondolas?
Yes, it retains a Venice gondola category and travel app. Check each activity’s own supplier, voucher, meeting point and terms.
