Walking tour with Colleagues

Storm_S, Sep 2025

I booked this tour with colleagues as part of a well-being morning during a conference. It was a fun way to see the city and explore some uncommon places. Some reasons why I didn't rate this as a star: - I expected a more Google Maps experience. If you don't know the roads, it can be difficult to follow the map. - The tour length states about 1.5 - 2 hours. This is a little misleading as it has 31 stops and we only managed about 14. - The timing doesn't consider exploration time of each place- which is perhaps on me to have worked out. I would say, give yourself a good few hours, even a whole day, to explore each place properly. All in all it was a great experience and we all thoroughly enjoyed the time exploring.

Walking City Audio Tour

Enjoyable & worth it if you want to discover a lot in one tour. The audio tour & following the map on our phones took some figuring out, & was confusing at times, but we were finally able to follow it. Allow an entire day to cover everything, & to stop for food.

As above

Awful couldn’t even use it - took us to the end first luckily we realised when we had already wasted half an hour wrong way. Maybe you need good data reception - such a waste of money

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Dear Sandra, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear you encountered difficulties with our tour. Based on your feedback, it seems there might have been some misunderstandings about how the tour operates. Let me clarify a few crucial points: Tour Download: It's essential to download the entire tour before starting your journey. This ensures all content is available offline. GPS Permission: Allowing GPS access is critical for the tour to function correctly. This enables the app to guide you to the starting point and follow your progress along the route. These two functions - downloading the tour and enabling GPS - are crucial for the tour to work as intended. Without them, the app cannot accurately determine your location or play the correct content at the right time. We want to emphasize that we provide clear instructions on these essential steps both in the email sent to you upon purchase and again at the very beginning of the tour. These instructions are designed to ensure there's no confusion about how to properly set up and use the tour. It's important to note that once the tour is downloaded, it works completely offline. No data reception is needed during your trip, which is especially useful in areas with poor connectivity. We understand your frustration and would be happy to assist you further. If you'd like to try the tour again, please ensure you've followed all the setup instructions. Our customer support team is always available to help with any technical issues you might encounter. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our service. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to provide you with a better experience.
