Review of Heraklion Archaeological Museum ticket with Clio Muse audio guide, including highlights, value, timing, access, and practical tips.
“A breathtaking collection of Minoan art and artefacts, thoughtfully curated. The audio guide presents suggested highlights, but there's plenty more to see in every room. Informative signage is provided in English and Greek. If you have to choose between visiting the Knossos archaeological site and the museum, I recommend the museum - it provides a more comprehensive insight into Minoan material and spiritual culture.”
See Knossos reconstructed in 3D with a self-guided tablet and audio tour. Compare ancient rooms with ruins for $22, admission extra.
“We visited the Knossos Palace. On the site, there are no photographs of how the building looked in ancient times. You have a few boards with information but without a guide or without this iPad tour, you just walk past stones and ruïns. The iPad tour is a big plus for your experience. It may look a big funny but gives enough information. There is also audio to help you get information on what you see. Important: the entrance to the Palace itself is free for European people under 26 years old”

Review of Chania’s Clash of Empires audio tour, with route details, costs, app tips, strengths, drawbacks, and booking advice.
“Great to have a walk around Old Town while getting supplementary Information on the ancient sights. We didn't make the whole tour in one day, gladly you can resume your tour and pick up where you left, if you happen to not make it in one go. There are some takes of recording where there's a speaking mistake, but that is not something I found disturbing in any way.”

“The idea of self-guide audiotours is good, but the app need to be drastically improved, and in our case, the audioguide of Rethymno, Greece was voiced by a guy with a very thick dutch accent that made it difficult at times to understand what he was saying and had to consult the text for clarifying.”

“Make sure you read the statement that the price of the entrance ticket is not included. Otherwise the activity was worthwhile. Descriptions and videos were clear and detailedAuto-translated”
Review of Heraklion’s $6 self-guided audio tour, covering nine historic sights, practical tips, value, route planning, and honest drawbacks.
“I was very, very disappointed in the whole purchase, but especially the content. The narrator basically repeated the same mish mash at every stop. She did not present any specific history; just vague over arching statements that I could have written by just looking at these sites while not knowing anything about them. It was also weird to have to download cloud/buster which I did not have to have when I have used Viator in the past. Really a waste of time and money .($18) I rarely leave bad reviews, but feel strongly about this.”
