This saves time for not rushing with the crowd at the ticketing queue on top of cheaper pricing. Thanks.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 828 reviews · 4 - 6 hours · from $69

Visit Knossos Palace and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum with one time-slotted ticket and optional audio tours in English, German, French, Spanish, or Italian. Explore Minoan treasures at your own pace, from the Throne Room and Queen’s Megaron to the Minos Ring and Roman-era artifacts. You arrange your own transport between sites.

“It was good, but with one or two small problems. First, I found the audio tour of Knossos cut off a bit before the end - I think it hadn't downloaded fully. It would be good to provide some visual aid to see that the download has completed. Also, the audio narration was clear and well-read, but frankly almost all foreign and foreign-derived words and names were hopelessly mispronounced. The effect was ridiculous - given the price of the tour, you would think they would check pronunciation before publishing! It's a matter of quality control. Also the map is not easy to read. The best thing is having a pre-booking…”
