Book Knossos Palace Tickets

The result is very good, but I had great difficulty understanding the start-up. You're confused by unwanted suggestions. As soon as, after long minutes when you're on the verge of giving up, you finally manage to hear the guide's voice, it's a moment of well-deserved happiness.

The highlight of my visit was the clarity of the comments and the congratulations on accessing the site. It takes you right back into the history of the container.

The Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and clear to understand. The palace was amazing to hear of its past come alive thru your guide.

The commentaries are very interesting, and we are well guided as we move around the site, which is large. Access to the audioguide is very simple, easy and quick. We really appreciated the service.

Very nice visit, short about 1h because in the end there is no audio in French, just in English or Greek. For the French, it's on the phone and you have to read every step, which isn't very practical with children, a beautiful sun and hands full of cream 😅 however, this place is surprising, it exudes a serene atmosphere despite what it represents. The kids also loved climbing some of the stones, especially the peacocks! I recommend Please note that opening times have changed over the Easter weekend.

It was just great, an incredible experience

You are in the history of civilization, although in itself there is not much to see

Perfect fit because I didn't have a lot of time to visit the sites. The bus stops were in great locations.

Staff were very helpful, friendly and supportive. Not being as physically able, I was very well looked after and I really do appreciate that. I brought my son and his friend here and we all absolutely loved it, honestly the whole experience was breathtaking. They are going to be doing ancient civilisation at college so this was brilliant for them to see. Thank you to everyone who made the whole experience possible and wonderful, only suggestion would be if they could turn the heat of the sun down a bit please 🤭🥵❤️

Well-organized and staffed at every stop for guidance if needed! Self-guided tour of Knossos Palace perfect for getting a sense of history. We didn't take the bus to all the sights, as we also took advantage of the opportunity to visit the various sites on foot!

Knossos Palace Archaeological Site is well worth the visit. Great history! Things to remember. It is very hot! Take lots of water. The audio tour it comes with is very good, however, the path you walk on is not well marked so it took longer than expected. They need better marked paths to get from one exhibit to another, and some exhibits were closed and I didn't know it beforehand.

In case you do not have the opportunity to have a guide, the audio guide is a good solution. Accurate with the directions of the route to be followed.

Th audio tour was great. To move through at your own leisure. Pause and start as you need to made the tour really enjoyable.

Our guide Akrivi offered us a unique experience, combing the myths, the findings and the true history behind everything in a really breathtaking narrative!

Spectacular ruins, so much history to learn. But the audio guide was hard to follow from the middle onwards, so we ditched it and just read thru the descriptions as we found the rooms. So very crowded by 11am, and very hot, so go as early as you can.

We were able to skip the long line of people queuing for entry with our pre-booking. The site was amazing and the audio guide was very informative without being over whelming with too much information, the directions were clear about which way to go to see it all.

We toured the palace ourselves, using the downloaded audio guide. Great site, but I would suggest a few improvements to enhance the visit. It was not that easy to follow the tour aligned with the audio. This could be easier if the signs had a number that corresponded to the audio and printed map. There was no obvious point in the audio or printed signs to detour around the perimeter of the main central structures. If we had followed the audio only, where the last commentary refers to the exit to our left, we would have left the palace site and not explored all the lower external areas. Better signage, brochure and commentary could help make this clearer.

We loved the convenience of the HOHO and getting to Knossos Palace. However, we thought we were getting an audio tour of the palace, not just an entry. While we enjoyed the exploration of such an amazing place, it would have been nice to understand what we were seeing along the way.

The audio guide could have used a bit more pizzazz. The myth of the minotaur was barley mentioned. Such a wasted opportunity. But a pleasant experience and a wonderfull location.

It is a quite remarkable archaeological site. Luckily I got there by 8.30 am, so missed the worst of the crowds. I had difficulty in following the recommended route shown in the guide, and I was put off by the pronunciation of the speaker. You would do better to use a native English person who has some knowledge of history!

Electronic tickets were easy to purchase and made entry to the palace very easy. The Pslace is incredible. Enjoyed seeing and learning about it. Directions portion of the audio guide were not always clear some were very confusing.

Unfortunately, the route with the audio guide should be improved because it is not easy to follow the various stages indicated. Perhaps numbers displayed on the places corresponding to the stages in the explanations would help. Perfect audio and ease of selection

The palace itself was interesting, with informative signage, great views and lots of palace to see. There were also good amenities in the form of a cafe, gift shop and plenty of toilets. As a note, the palace itself is completely outdoors and there is limited place to shelter in the event of rain. Unfortunately, the Headout app provided the wrong audio guide and we were unable to use that part of our ticket.

It was not clearly indicated in the online booking where to find the audio guide. Nor afterwards when we had received the tickets.

I had a hard time navigating the site with audio guide instructions. A map would have bern useful. Otherwise it was good. I visited the Heraklion Archeological Museum before visiting the site and I'm glad I did. Made it much easier to visualize the pieces in their places at the Palace. The juice bar at the end of the tour was very much needed and a lovey treat!

The exhibit was marvelous. Well worth seeing. Easy bus ride from town. The bus stop for the ride back is in the parking lot just like the sign said. Did not use audio.

We had a phone for two... Not easy to hear over the noise. Why isn't there a simple audioguide that you hang around your neck?

The audios guide is not easy to use otherwise everything ok

The easy of use to order tickets.

Eliminate queues effective and useful guide All very practical and easy to use

all went very well, great place to visit

I really liked the museum while they did not let us into the Palace of Knossos because our arrival was outside the time zone, but on the official website there was no option to book an admission after 11 a.m. on any day and it was not specified that outside the time zone we could no longer enter. We paid without being able to make the visit. Website to be reviewed.

Unhelpful assistance,maybe AI

Way to crowded. Poor explenstions and visualizations. Museum and arch site too far apart.

Very bad experience. Hasty and impossible to follow guides.

The Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and clear to understand. The palace was amazing to hear of its past come alive thru your guide.

Our guide Akrivi offered us a unique experience, combing the myths, the findings and the true history behind everything in a really breathtaking narrative!

It was a great and impressive experience. This is especially due to the good guide. She was very well informed and up to date.

The hearing devices worked well. Most important, our guide, Katrina, was exceptional with knowledge and clarity throughout the visit.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and able to tie the mythology in well with what is know about the life of the Minoans. She brought it all to life!

Guide was knowledgeable and made interesting parallels between history and mythology.

Our guide was excellent, everything was fine.

The guide was great. He knew a lot about the history and culture.

Our guide was great! I can't remember her name Red hair flashy shiny ball cap She was awesome

I visited the site a few days before Christmas. Few visitors, which allowed me to enjoy the magnificent view. The guidance was absolutely remarkable. I discovered many details about each objective of the site; all with an intelligent, well-researched and extremely charming discourse.

The guide was excellent. Good English, and very patient with questions. He knew the history of course, and also would talk about today's attitudes to the restorations that have been done. He had a balanced view. He proceeded at an appropriate pace, and the group was not too big (about 6 of us), so we could all talk to him. The ticketing experience was simple. We were contacted in advance and told where to meet, with a picure of the person who was going to greet us, holding up the sign. That was really helpful. The tickets werent cheap but I felt they were worth it. Some of the features of the site were shielded by glass, but reflection on the gas made it impossible to view the features behind. I'm sure this isnt Headout or the guide's fault. Can't non reflective glass be used, or screens?

Guide was very knowledgeable, clear , and brought the history alive with her descriptions.

The site is amazing and our guide was very knowledgable and engaging.

Very well-organized tour, easy-to-identify guide. No waiting, so it was great. Our guide was very interesting, she made this visit to Knossoss a unique experience. It was lively and full of historical facts. We were a small group of 9 people from different backgrounds, so it was great.

Very good guide able to give us all the historical, political, religious, mythical , artistdella Minorca civilization elements with passion and competence. No queues and effective system with earphones. Excellent experience

The magnificence of the site combined with the professionalism and knowledge of the guide made it a mémorable experience.

The guide had unique insights that we wouldn't be able to understand without: with her we learned a lot more than we otherwise would. Your guide is your value!

It was just great, an incredible experience

It took us to the places mentioned, but when we wanted to spend the second half of the day at the beach, the time getting back from the beach was misleading. It shows "Line 2" running both directions. This is only true for a very short stretch. It then does the full loop. If you are coming in on a cruise, make sure you have at least 90 minutes to get back on the ship or take a taxi, like we ended up doing.

Without audio guide you could go through all territory for 40-45 minutes. Nobody of staff could explain about audio guide.

Hosts and drivers were helpful and on time. Stops were easy to find. We saw all the places we wanted to and found some hidden gems along the way.

Well, we drove through the heavy traffic with a few explanations about Crete, but not about the city itself. Conclusion: you can do it, but it's not absolutely necessary.

The que for the throne room was too large, so we had to skip that part, the hop on -off autobus was disorganised on the return from Knossos, no que control, although waiting for a bus to come, people ran to get first on the bus, ending up in standing all the way back to the city

Great place to visit with information boards around the site, we didn't have a guide but we all enjoyed looking around, our children included!

It is a fantastic visit unique in the world. The tour guide, whomI recommend, was also fantastic. Unforgettable

The site is magical. And the weather is splendid. It wasn't too crowded, and the flow of visitors was quite reasonable, as the visiting hours were fiidogie. The sun was shining down on us, embellishing everything. However, when my daughter got the tickets to book our visit, she bought 4 tickets for two adults and two children, without realizing that the children weren't paying. The information wasn't clear enough on the website. We therefore paid double what we should have. Thank you for your vigilance Claire

Speed of purchase Price All ok

Very good tour and good information as going round

The throne room and the vistas.

The whole experience was very good. From parking , entry, the information boards - very impressive

There were plenty of resting places with shade.

Had nothing to do with you, but with the weather. Tickets were fine, cause we didnt need to stand in the very long line.

Easy booking, quick ticket and no waiting time at the entrance!!!
