Great fun tool to self walk around Genoa
Easy to download and it covers all the main sites! Thank you :)

This is a self guided walking tour. Once I figured out how to switch from the audio to the walking directions and photos it was smooth sailing. It takes a lot of battery power- make sure you have your phone charged up or have a charger with you.
Informative and a nice way to walk through Florence on our own.

I was surprised with how easy and complete it was to get to know Genoa with this Tour Audio Guide, it is definitely the best option. Getting off the boat we took a transport to the train station which is where the beginning of the tour marked us and from there we walked everything at our own pace, my family and I agreed that it was better than having a guide, since we were doing it at our own pace, please do it from other cities, I loved it

Great guide! Concise and full of memorable tidbits about each site! I learned a lot about Genoa without having to listen to the author drone on and on. He did a great job giving the info and keeping it entertaining!

This is a good option when you aren't looking to be on someone else's schedule. The tour was easy to download, easy to follow.

Excellent tour. It wasn’t too long nor the listening parts too lengthy. This was nice cause we only had about 4 hours. Easy to access.

I could not complete it because the audio cannot be played. Even though my internet connection was working perfectly. I do not recommend it!!

Abbiamo Augusto le medicazioni di Matteo e ci siamo subito imbattuti in una panoramica mozzafiato e da lì abbiamo capito che aver scelto questa audio guida è stata la cosa giusta, professionale, divertente e anche economica. Manca solo un suggerimento dove fermarsi a bere un buon caffè durante la passeggiata.
Matteo, ancora grazie

Hat mir gut gefallen. Alle wichtigen Stationen sind in einer Route aufgeführt und ich konnte viel über sie lernen. Es sind sogar ein paar interessante Fakten mit eingebaut, wie zum Beispiel der Grund für den Namen der Stadt. 👍
