A good self pased tour

Norman_S, Oct 2025

Onec we managed to get the correct app loaded it was areally good self passed tour with the commentary starting as you reached the appropriate location. Our frustration was that the email that fully described the loading process did not arrive for 2 hours. By this time we had almost given up.

Old Nice Charm

Flora_T, Sept 2024

Old town Nice is beautiful, and easily seen using the audio tour guide. One of our favourite stops of the cruise. Difficult to make it work well unless you go to the exact starting point.

Passionnant

FranoisO_L, Jul 2022

Audio-guide très passionnant et complet. C’est très simple à utiliser et on apprend beaucoup de choses qui auraient pu nous échapper dans une visite plus rapide.
