Very professional, easy to follow. A very efficient way to see Catania’s historic area. The ability to start and stop provides flexibility to customize the pace and routing to make any deviations you desire. I wish this type of audio guide were available in many of the other cities we visit. I highly recommend this guide.

I did not fully understand what was suppose to happen, I thought I was getting a tour by a local. When I found out I was suppose to get some audio. I had to reach out to ask a question, I never got the audio. However, me and my friend had a great day on our own. Sorry I spend money on this one.

Ciao! I'm sorry that you didn't use the experience! It was really simple: only a link and password! Actually You had all the info in product description + you got instructions in your voucher + you got a message on whatsapp + you got a mail 😅
Hope that this answer will help other travellers!

Great, we felt like we saw most of what catania jas to offer. We saw parts that we wouldn’t have if investigating by ourselves

This was my second of these self guided tours and was not disappointed. Very thorough and easy to understand. My new favorite way of exploring the main sites in a city.
RitaLuisa_G, Oct 2025
I think the walking tour should start in a more central location. I had walked past 50% of the tour to arrive at the starting point. So
I ended up retracing most of it.
The information however was very well presented

This is a really nice and inexpensive way to see the sites of these small cities. Listen to the history of each place the night before and if you use google maps to get back to your starting point it’s a perfect way to see what you’d like. Go at your own pace.

Easy to do as it’s at your own pace & time. Very informative using your own phone. Excellent value for money. I think it’s better than having a guide

I never went on the tour because I never received the details on how to dowload the self guided tour.
I would like to be reimbursed
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Ciao👋🏻! All activation details are shared at the time of booking and the day before the event. In addition, on the day of the event you were also contacted to activate the guide which you then used(although you left the review anyway...).
We strive to provide assistance before-during-after the event even though sometimes customer reviews are a bit unfair 🥲.
Have a good day.
Ciao 👋🏻
