Awful, Awful, Awful!!!!

Stephanie_Y, Jun 2021
I would absolutely not recommend this tour! The app was a fun idea and I expected to get some good stories of the city. The game takes you into the neighborhoods outside the tourist area. We did see things we wouldn’t have seen but we walked uphill the entire way almost and about 2 miles away from the city. The tour takes you through some deserted streets and leaves you in the middle of no where with really bad directions back to where you started. It took us almost as long to get back to where we started as the entire game. Do not waste your money!

Promenade divertissante ; application sur mobile difficile à utiliser

Elisabeth_M, Nov 2024
Nous avons acheté l'application pour 2 personnes, mais n'avons jamais réussi à faire fonctionner l'application simultanément sur nos 2 téléphones. Du coup, nous n'en avons utilisé qu'un seul. Dommage.

If this happens again, feel free to reach out to us through email or chat and we’ll be happy to assist you in getting everything set up so you can fully enjoy the experience with both phones. We hope you’ll give it another try!

A refaire!

J'ai visité des endroits moins touristiques et j'ai découvert une histoire de Lyon que je ne connaissais pas. Par contre très physique!

Response from Host, Mar 2024
