Self guided walking tour with audio guide. Followed the instructions in the email that I received after I purchased the audio tour and downloaded the app from the tour company. Had to create user ID and password to log into the app and locate the audio recording. Downloaded the audio tour to the app to use offline in case the Knosos palace archaeological site had weak cellular signal. Handling the technology aspects was a little bit challenging but I figured it out. I had to go into a nearby cafe and use their WiFi to do the download. I recommend doing this in advance before leaving your home or hotel to ensure everything downloads and is functioning before you arrive at the archaeological site. The audio guide was very clear and easy to understand. There was a digital map included and the audio guide provided instructions when to walk and when to stop to listen, and it was easy to follow the locations on the digital map walking between the numbered locations that were included in the tour. The audio tour was great and was a better experience than touring the site with a live person as a guide.
