Gaining entry into the museum was a nightmare. I don’t know why Viator sent me a voucher instead of my ticket. There was no Wi-Fi, so it took me half an hour to get into the museum, and I had to call Viator to get an email sent to me with a QR code. This was so incredibly unnecessary and highly inefficient — and so far below the standard I expect from Viator. The woman I spoke to on the phone was very helpful and very kind, but the overall experience was a disaster.
A good indoor activity! Highly recommend the audio tour to get the most out of walking through this historic site. We were mesmerized by the architecture and the preservation of such a historical moment for Santorini/Akrotiri. It’s very well done and worth the visit!

We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Regards, Harold
It can be difficult to make sense of archaeological ruins, even ones as complete as at Akrotiri. The audio tour was a great help. Be sure to take a screen shot of your e-ticket, just in case.
Hello! Thank you for your kind review 🙏 We’re happy to hear the audio tour made your visit to Akrotiri more meaningful. We recommend downloading your ticket in advance, as internet connection is usually poor onsite. Best, Jo
Amazing access to an ancient site that’s truly remarkable. Following the navigation instructions with the audio app is a little difficult, but it’s the audio application itself that’s required that is awful and it’s less than stellar rating on the app store is indicative of the difficulty you’ll have. In spite of following the instructions perfectly, 2 of the 3 people in our group had to contact tech support to get the tour setup correctly in the app. If the site weren’t so amazing, I would have rated this tour much lower - the frustration we experienced took away from the charm of the site.
How preserved ancient settlements at the Akrotiri site were. The entire ancient city was buried under volcanic ashes after a massive eruption. As you navigate through an impressive network of buildings and rooms filled with earthenware you can imagine what life was like. The audio guide on the phone worked a treat.
Dear Rafael, Thanks for your review! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed your experience and the audio added to it! We hope to welcome you back on your next travels! Best regards, Angeliki, Product Dept.
Detailed and easy to use the app. Very descriptive. Akrotiri is a fascinating site and the self guided tour was a great way to learn more about the archeological ruins.
