Combo (Save 5%): Knossos Palace Archaeological Site Entry Tickets + Heraklion Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

We had a great guide. Irini took a lot of time and showed us around Knossos really well! She had great knowledge and spoke very good German. Highly recommended!

We did not have to wait in line and got in right away. The ticket line on site was miles long. However, I must say that the tickets never arrived via email, fortunately I read that you could download the app and got them from there. The palace is beautiful although the tour is not very long since there are not many things to see. Plus to see the throne room we had to stand in line for half an hour in full sun in August and it was not the best

Buying tickets online was a good idea as it was a lineup to the ticket office. Very good support online if you need any help.

I arrived at 8am and the palace was so empty. I walked round twice with an audio guide. I loved seeing and hearing about the history. I also really appreciated the restored areas that gave a great insight into how it would have looked. Lots of helpful staff around, and the cafe on site is good.

The visit was very good but there were no guides in Spanish, nor guided tours in Spanish. We would have liked to have that option when we visited.

It was very impressive and our German-speaking guide Rita 😊was definitely an asset. The extra investment is absolutely worth it .... You won't find so many explanations about the palace and history in any guidebook. As she said: If you look at it without a guide, it's just stones! That's exactly how it is.

The whole area was very beautiful, not too crowded and good to walk through. We walked around without a guide and it took us about 80 minutes. If you want to learn more about the history, you should book an audio guide or a guide.

Magnificent views, the site is small but magnificent! Easily and quickly accessible by bus. Not enough information for my taste next to each monument. We hadn't booked our tickets online and had to wait a long time to get our entrance tickets from the cashier. We bought our tickets online, and there were only tickets left for a noon entrance. The gentleman at the entrance agreed to let us come by with our tickets at 11am! The view and the site are magnificent!

A must for anyone, like me, who grew up reading classical mythology. To walk the grounds that you inspired the stories of the Minotaur and Icarus was an amazing experience. Purchasing the tickets online and skipping the line at the entrance made it more enjoyable

It was very easy to book my tickets to Knossos Palace. It is a place where we can live history. Very pleasant in the afternoon.

Arrival at the site was included in the Costa tour. But the ticket to get back to the temple was taken on the bus taking us there. The queue cutter saved us time. Private guides and audio guides are available all along the line. Hats, cream and refreshments are important, especially in summer (July). Attractive souvenir store: books, children's exercise books and souvenirs sorted by language (including French). Tip: take the tour and the main passage

Fantastic experience. I recommend taking the guide because it is worth it especially being an archaeological site and not a museum, so more difficult to "understand" just walking around without anyone explaining! Also, the guide spoke in Italian and was great and very nice! My 23 year old boyfriend and I didn't know that under 25 we didn't pay for the ticket..luckily they pointed it out to us there and by swapping with another 'older couple we got our money back and paid for the guide instead which I repeat was a very good choice, if you choose to visit the palace of Knossos take it! I am very satisfied with the experience. We did not queue at the entrance and everything was great.

You can feel the history. There are shady benches where you can enjoy the view. I really liked it. In the morning there it is not too crowded

Thanks to online booking, I happily skipped the queue at the ticket office. The visit was very nice and interesting

La visite était bien Mais il faut se renseigner sur l'histoire de l'endroit avant d'y aller Sinon vous serez complètement perdu comme moi Dans tous les cas vous aurez des guides qui viendrons vers vous pour vous faire la visite Ils parlent plusieurs langues .

I have already seen many documentaries and therefore wanted to see the whole thing live. The fast-track entry worked very well, with practically no waiting time. The descriptions in the facility are very clear. Offers for guided visits seem overpriced to me. This should be €100 in addition to the entrance fee. Overall, however, it was very nice there.

Direct entrance, no queues. During the visit there are shaded areas where you can take shelter from the sun. The palace is amazing, beautiful to see.

I went to the museum in Heraklion first before going to Knossos this gave me a better in sight into the background history of this amazing culture of the Minoans. Just remember there's very little shade so hats and water a must. Gift shops and cafes near the bus stop and car parks are reasonably priced and as always in Crete very friendly.

It was a great visit We had no waiting time due to the ticket The dispatch was very uncomplicated via WhatsApp

We avoided the queue at the entrance! Perfect
