The Heraklion Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour was a fun and convenient way to explore the city. The bus driver was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I also liked the audio tour available through headphones, with several languages to choose from, making it easy for everyone to follow along and learn more about the sights. Sitting on the second floor was definitely a highlight, especially with the refreshing breeze as we travelled around. It was also quite entertaining having to occasionally dodge low tree branches or feel the leaves brushing your face! The bus stops were clearly marked and easy to spot, making hopping on and off simple and stress-free. Overall, a relaxing and enjoyable way to see Heraklion.

The tour was totally laid-back; we started at Amoudara Beach and made our way back to Amoudara via Knossos.

Perfect form of transportation for getting around the island. The stops didn't seem to have much to offer except the palace and the city. Often take the HoHo's for this reason.

I wanted to see the city, but felt the places the bus visited were not anything of interest.
