I spent more time trying to get into the system, and it was very confusing so we could not take the tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear , We are sorry to hear this. If you follow the instructions it shoud be very easy. Can you explain to us what went wrong? That way we can help you. The tour is on your phone forever so you can walk the tour anytime. Hope to hear from you so we can solve the problem.

Long walk through sketchy neighborhoods

Christopher_K, Jan 2022

I like the concept of a GPS-guided tour, but this one was a bit lacking on the execution. First, it was a little hard to follow the route in the app. It doesn't show your exact location, but highlights the point on the route that is closest to your location. This makes it rather difficult to figure out if you are really on the intended route. The narration and the information given was OK, but not outstanding. There was some good overall info, but that wasn't presented until the last stop. Would have been much more useful up front. The route goes through some rather sketchy neighborhoods, and several of the noted buildings are either in complete disrepair or in the middle of restoration. If you are really a fan of old Dutch architecture, then maybe this would be a good tour for you, but for an overview of the town, it isn't very good.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Hi Christoph, I am sorry to hear this and I think something must gone wrong . The app should show your exact location along the way on the map and tell you where to go. the text also shows in your screen when you are on that particular location not only at the end Would it be possible for you to give your details of your phone and software? Than we can look into this matter. We have not heard it before. And it is a Cultural and Historical audiotour so maybe this was not clear to you. Otrobanda has been refurbished in recent years and just super fun to walk through and look at, beautiful drawings by artists on various walls, the fortress from which you have a beautiful view, slave museum, the large square and of course a shopping street and cozy restaurants. Besides the architectural facts we have added lots of stories so it is for a greater audience.

Otrobanda discovered at its own pace

yvon_v, May 2025

I really enjoyed the cultural historical audio tour of Otrobanda. It was super interesting to learn more about the history and culture of the island as I walked past historic sites. What I especially liked is that I could do the tour at my own pace. No group or guide to follow – just listen quietly and stop where and when I wanted to. I really liked the fact that you also pass all kinds of beautiful wall murals along the way, which really add something to the atmosphere and story of the city. It felt very relaxed and inspiring at the same time. The app was very easy to download and worked fine.
