great was to explore a city at your own pace & timing.

Leslie_S, Nov 2023

Great way to explore a new city. The audio was clear and the timing and pace were perfect. Really got a great sense of the history of Genoa.

Good value and interesting

Guy_D, Sep 2023

A good tour for an excellent price. I didn't realize that a group could use the same code/purchase so we each paid. It takes a while to download the app but was straightforward. Overall it was an interesting tour.

Doet het niet als je in smalle straatjes loopt.

Reinoud_A, May 2024

Het begin was prima, maar de locatie-guided tour raakte mij kwijt toen ik de smalle straatjes van Genua in ging en erna kreeg ik geen meldingen meer. Dus ik ben maar zelf gaan wandelen. Zonde van m’n geld.

Response from Host, May 2024
