Having limited time in Ferrara and not wanting to commit to a timed tour, as most of my visit was castle and museums, this worked well- directing me to the highlights of the city and I could resume the tour or chose another attraction from the tour. I appreciated the restaurants suggestions at the end. The app was easy to use and clear.

Great summary of places in Ferrara. Easy to download and walk at your own pace. For the price, it was great.

Some initial technical issues downloading the guide which were due to the hotel’s network where we were staying.
Lots of support from both Viator and the operator…many thanks

It was a nice activity and I learned a lot. You can listen to the explanations or read it which I liked.
ALESSANDRA_P, May 2026
Insufficient information. There is such a point 2 if you don't want to go back to the station to start from scratch. But such a point is an entire street, at least 300m, it doesn't tell where point 2 is actually. Confused.

Hi, I'm sorry to read this review, especially because you messaged us on WhatsApp asking for directions, and in less than 2 minutes we replied, explaining that the beauty of that street was... walking through it 😉!
Since it's a walking tour, it's a characteristic street, and it leads directly to the next attraction, I thought it was clear how to navigate 😌.
I hope this answer can help other travelers!
Ciao

Quite useful. Of course, an in-person visit would have been better, but it helped me get to know the city.

All right , thanks to the whatsup assistance that explained how to activate the navigation and how to send activation links to other members of the group

Very comfortable, exhaustive, nice and satisfying experience. Without the need to keep up with a group, you are completely independent and the guy who recorded the audio is really very pleasant to listen to!!!

Great experience because you can decide when, how and what to see... without then being overwhelmed by too much information that you then do not remember...

A bit difficult to find the beginning. Once on the road, it is a beautiful experience in this worth seeing city.
