JOSEPHINE_T, Sept 2025
Second tour that I was unable to share with my husband, my traveling partner we still do not know how to get the program onto his phone what does buying two tickets mean if only one person can use the device?

waste of money

vera_i, Sept 2025
audio tour and link did not work. tried to download the audio tour and i was warned not to as it is spam/scam

Response from Host, Sept 2025

Ciao Vera, it's a pity to read this review from you since we talked on whatsapp and everything was fine 😒. As I explained to you, the "warning" that you had was simply a message from Viator that was saying "You're Now Leaving Viator's website" 👉🏻 that's it. Unfortunately you left a review right after you read this message and not after my support on whatsapp that helped you to enjoy Modena (as you wrote me after 🥲). I hope that this answer will help other travellers! Walking Cap

A fantastic day!
