Reviews: What People Think About Key tours

Overall not a bad idea but really this app did not live up to what I wanted. The interface was not bad at first and the geolocation triggers worked ok but it kept freezing whenever the phone was not in active use. It would complete the current audio reading but you could not navigate further after that. Quitting the app and relaunching worked quickly to reset it so I don’t think it was a service issue. The app needs a much better map feature for Knossos but I liked that part at the Parthenon so you could see where there were points of interest. The AI reading was almost comically bad. The Parthenon “back and forth” between two actors was a good idea but I still feel like I didn’t learn much from them. More filler time than anything. The museum portion was useless. Knossos has reasonably good interpretable signage so we just stopped using it there. Not many signs are available at Delphi or the Parthenon so something is needed, but I would recommend looking for another solution unless they improve the script there.

I booked this option through official Athens ticketing, and it’s a little disappointing. The Acropolis tour is decent (3.5/5) with some incorrect English but good overview of things. Not too many fun facts or deeper history, but you know what you’re looking at. There was an awkward dialogue with a random second person. Then the Ancient Agora is not even a person but a text to speech bot. Very flat, boring, and hard to keep attention. The prices if you don’t get this with your ticket are way overpriced.

I actually really enjoyed using this app. I purchased a combo ticket pass via GetYourGuide and it came with these self-guided audio tours through KeyTours. I used this app for the Acropolis, the Acropolis museum, and the Ancient Agora. I downloaded the tours at the hotel with WiFi and had no issues opening or using the app once I was no longer connected. My husband and I shared AirPods and since the app has a geolocation feature (which you have to allow), we would walk around the site and when we reached certain points of interest the app would automatically start playing. If I had a doubt about what the audio guide was talking about, I would open the app and there would often be a photo showing what it was referring to. Also, for the Acropolis and Agora, there’s a very useful map that we used to get around to the next point of interest. Very satisfied!
