Explore Crete at Your Own Pace
Our audio tours allow you to explore Crete independently, without rushing to keep up with a group or following somebody else’s timetable.
Explore at your own pace, stop whenever you wish, and never feel pressured to move on before you’re ready.
Whether you are exploring the streets of Rethymno, visiting a remote monastery, or driving through the mountains of Crete, our tours combine history, mythology, archaeology, local stories and practical information to help you understand the places you are visiting.
Unlike traditional guidebooks, the stories unfold as you travel. The right information is delivered at the right place and at the right moment.
Every tour is researched, written and produced by the team behind Magical Crete and narrated by native speakers with extensive experience of Crete, creating a natural and engaging listening experience.
How
Works
VoiceMap turns your phone into a personal tour guide. Using GPS technology, it automatically plays the right commentary as you reach each location, allowing you to concentrate on what is around you rather than constantly looking at a map or guidebook.
When you purchase an audio tour from Magical Crete, you are not downloading the tour itself. Instead, you receive an activation code that unlocks the tour on the VoiceMap platform.
Getting started is simple:
Download the free VoiceMap app from Google Play or the Apple App Store, depending on your type of phone.
Purchase your chosen tour from Magical Crete.
Receive your VoiceMap activation code by email.
Open the VoiceMap app and enter your activation code.
Download the tour from VoiceMap to your phone.
Start exploring Crete at your own pace.
Once downloaded, the tour works completely offline, including maps and audio. This makes it ideal for exploring even the most remote parts of Crete, where mobile phone coverage can be unreliable.
Unlike a traditional guided excursion, there is no timetable to follow. Stop for coffee, spend an extra hour exploring a monastery, take photographs, or wander down an interesting side road. The tour simply waits for you and continues when you are ready.
Your purchased tour remains available in your VoiceMap library and can be replayed whenever you wish.
