The audio guide was great and so helpful compared to just walking around on our own. There were a few closed viewpoints in the audio which made some of the directions confusing, but overall we had a great experience and it was super interesting and informative.

A lot of helpful and interesting information. If you follow the suggested path it is a clear tour. Also works without headphones only as info texts.

Knossos is a very interesting archaeological site. Especially the history of the people who lived there 3500 years ago.

The audio tour was perfect!! It hit all the highlights and we could pause if we wanted to study a bit longer.

The guided tour is well explained and this attraction is astonishing in Heraklion. I recommend this visit
