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.

The tour itself is magnificent, but the audio guide on the mobile is indispensable to make it perfect. We enjoyed it very much. The voice was pleasant, the story told with sympathy, and the story she told was truthful and entertaining. Everything was perfect.

Convenience of using the app, and the audio tour on our phones was great. Being able to skip the line and just go through the entrance was worth the price.

Highly interesting and very attractively structured. Clear and entertaining. We were also lucky that there was very little going on ☝️Pfingstmontag 10:30 - 12:15

Easy to book. Downloaded App and was able to to download tickets to it so easy to open when out without wifi.
Bought combo ticket for Knossos and archeological museum. Chose 8am entry got Knossos but was automatically given a 1pm entry got museum - we arrived 10.30am do had to go away and come back 12pm as they wouldn't let us in more than 1hr before ticket time.
