Not the tour I expected
AaronHowe
, Oct 2019
I had thought, when booking the tour, to be given a standard "go here, look at this, listen to the history of it" tour. That was not the case!
The Clio tour is in fact more concerned with a general background of the period and people, and so it is better to view the palace at your own pace while listening as you walk. The background detail given is certainly interesting and I felt we had something that other visitors were not experiencing.
My only criticism is that the Android app didn't auto-play so I had to keep manually starting the next part of the tour as I moved around.
For the castle itself, well there isn't much of it left but it's an interesting place anyway. It is a little tourist-driven and there are more historic places in Crete but it's not expensive and it's a fun morning out anyway. If only Heraklion wasn't such a horrible area to drive in!
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Dear Aaron,
Thank you so much for your review! Indeed, when this tour was created, we had in mind that we do not want to offer information that can easily found online. We wanted to offer something different and unique. And that is the case with all of our tours, we like to consider them non-conventional and different :-) So as you understand, reading your review was quite rewarding for us! We are designing an Android app from scratch, and unfortunately, this is a time-consuming process. The new version will be way better and among other things, it will offer a more convenient audio player! We wish you the best and hope to see you in one of your future travels!

Poor experience

Couldn't get tickets. Audio wouldn't download. So no sound, no information.poor effort. viator on line very difficult.
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Dear customer, we are terribly sorry that your experience was not what you were hoping for. We are not sure what has happened. We fear that you might have confused the Viator vouchers with the actual tickets that we send you to your email, through Viator's messaging platform. Do you think you could get in touch with us so we can look into the matter? From your review we think that you tried to contact Viator to get help, you need to contact Clio Muse Tours. We hope that we will be given the opportunity to resolve the matter.

Poor experience - the only advantage was to skip the queue

There was no audio with the tour even though it stated that there was. Skipping the queue was great but I bought it for the audio so was very disappointed when there was none
Response from Host , Nov 2019
Dear customer, we believe that you either missed our email that contains the instructions for activating and downloading the audio guides, or it was never sent to you. We are very sorry to hear that you were left with the impression that there were no audio guides. Please get in touch with us so we can resolve the matter. It is important for us to make it up to you!

Easy way to see a popular attraction

Easy way to see a popular attraction. Audio tour was difficult to download, but informative. Would definitely recommend. Also, you do not have to go exactly at the time listed on your ticket. My ticket said 0900, got there at 0815, and they let us in no problem!
Response from Host , Sep 2019

It was a very interesting site, and the guided tour and skip the line tickets worked out well. Highly recommended!
Response from Host , Jun 2019
Hi!
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so happy that you enjoyed the audio tour and the skip-the-line service. We have great combos for the main attractions of Rome as well in case you're planning to visit the city. It will be an absolute pleasure to serve you again.
