This was an interesting...

Timothy_T, Aug 2025
This was an interesting and informative tour. However, we felt that it could have gone into a bit more detail in some areas.

Walking tour through historic Dijon

Penelope_K, Jul 2025
The flexibility of the walking tour and the amount of location information makes the tour more customizable and full for of relevant neighborhood information!!

Easy to use and interesting audio tour

Annette_G, Oct 2024
We (family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 teens) really enjoyed this audio tour. We could walk at our own pace and learnt a lot about the city of Dijon along the way. This has made us want to do more audio tours.

Wonderful city introduction to Dijon, France

mcpkddf582, Jul 2024
This Dijon, France audio tour was a fantastic introduction to the city. It gave enough information to feel that you were on a private tour dedicated just for you. It gave plenty of options to stop the audio recording and explore in the moment. We used it as a starting point to map out the next two days of sightseeing. And the bonus… it’s a lifetime audio recording so you could/can listen again when returning from vacation to ‘sightsee’ again.

We highly recommend this wonderful tour.

We were in Dijon for Christmas. A time when the town is quiet... and we loved walking the streets with this very capable guide telling us the stories of this wonderful place. The guide brought everything to life. It even kept us on track... letting us know when we had wandered off course. We highly recommend this wonderful tour.

Nice little intro to Dijon

Bruce_I, Apr 2024
This was a nice little introductory tour around a bit of Dijon. Had a little trouble with the app not restarting when I started up the camera app to take a photo. Just had to manually start. The narrator was good, nice voice and just the right level of detail. The tour seemed a bit short. We didn't walk too far and it was over.

Self got it tour

ryan_o, Oct 2023
I thought the Audio tour was great. The author spoke well you could understand her. Before you go push start to doubt load the material. because it takes a while to download the material and you have nothing to do while you’re standing there waiting they don’t tell you that instructions. It is a great experience.

Good on the go!

Renee_M, Sep 2023
Fantastic self tour. We weren’t interested in a group tour or private guide because we had things planned already. This allowed us to access and continue getting to know Lyon whenever we had time. It was very good, especially for the price. Worked perfectly and we learned a lot.

Visite de monuments

Julio_n, Mar 2024
Très mal expliqué,je pensais visiter une moutarderie en audiovisuel alors qu'il n'en était rien. Non remboursable !!!! Très déçu

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Salut Julio, Je suis désolé que vous ayez l'impression que cela a été mal expliqué. La liste et les instructions fournies avec les billets expliquent clairement ce qu'est la visite, ce qu'elle comprend et ce qu'elle exclut, ainsi que son fonctionnement. Peut-être que la traduction automatique du produit a légèrement modifié la signification de certains détails. Malheureusement, nous ne pouvons pas contrôler la façon dont notre annonce en anglais est traduite dans différentes langues. Il s'agit d'un processus automatique basé sur la langue sélectionnée.

Le tour est uniquement...

Annabelle_M, Feb 2023
Le tour est uniquement disponible en anglais et il est proposé sur un site français... Le contenu est bien.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Salut Annabel VoiceMap a quelques visites disponibles en français. Vous les trouverez en cherchant sur notre site Web et notre application. Malheureusement, cette visite à Dijon est celle qui n'est disponible qu'en anglais. Nous avons essayé de clarifier cela, mais Viator traduit automatiquement la page dans votre langue préférée. Quelque chose est perdu dans la traduction, comme le fait que la visite n'est disponible qu'en anglais. J'espère que vous essaierez bientôt l'une de nos visites Françaises ! Alicia _____ Hi Annabel VoiceMap has a few tours available in French. You'll find them by searching through our website and app. Unfortunately this tour in Dijon is one that is only available in English. We've tried to make that clear but Viator automatically translates the page to your prefered language setting. Somethings are lost in translation such as the fact that the tour is only available in English. I hope you'll give one of our French tours a try soon! Alicia
