I didn't use HeadOut because I paid too much for the tickets. A six-euro commission per ticket is way too much! On top of that, I didn't get to use the audio guide. I gave stars for the archaeological site, which I found interesting.

Everything worked perfectly. Buying tickets in advance with Headout saved us a lot of time waiting in line. The tickets arrived on time and the audio guide was very helpful for a complete visit (because without the audio guide it's difficult to find your way around). The after-sales service is also very good because, when I needed to contact them to resolve a question, they promptly responded and solved my problem. And the Palace of Knossos is a must-see; a thrilling dive into history.

Unbelievably fabulous place to view ancient items from Knossos Palace, other palaces on Crete & caves. This is also a MUST SEE place to visit & worth every penny to view history. Don't miss the slide presentation at the end. So must history is explained for those who are not history buffs.

It was easy to get the tickets, even though the websites were convinced that combo tickets didn't exist! Very convenient

Great place to visit and easy to find, good parking for Knossos palace. However it wasn't advertised that the entry to the palace and the museum were split apart for 5 hours - so the entry to the palace was 8am and we couldn't enter the museum til 1pm! This changed our plans for the whole day

​The visit to the Palace of Knossos was incredible—a journey into Minoan history that’s absolutely worth the trip. Buying tickets online was very easy, quick, and intuitive, which allowed us to skip the line at the entrance to the archaeological site.

Our visit to Knossos Palace was wonderful. Our Headout tickets ensured easy entry without queuing and the audio guide structured our tour of the site. It was informative and very interesting to listen to.

A very interesting museum due to the age of the display - amazing to think items went back to 6000BC! Beautifully displayed .
