We had difficulty connecting and listening to different sections of the tour. The creator used Google Maps to get from place to place (I use Apple Maps) which caused me to have to use the GPS for approximate location. It just didn’t work. The content of the information was good but too difficult to access.

Hi! We're glad you enjoyed the quality of our content, despite everything! 🤩! To access our content, all you need is a simple link and password that are sent directly to you (no downloads are required, to simplify the process! 😌).
As suggested at the beginning of this guide, we recommend using Google Maps because it's the most reliable and widely used service.
I hope this review can help other travelers!

This was a good tour to use as I arrived in Mantova early in the morning, so did the tour before the Ducal Palace and Palazzo Te were open then circled back to them when they opened. I liked that you can go at your own pace. It was easy to use and navigate.

The audio guide was extremely helpful, carefully crafted to allow the visitor to experience the most important attractions during a day trip. The guide gave enough historic context to truly enjoy each place while making it fun and easy to follow. Would highly recommended it!

He is very skilled, and I enjoyed it a lot; I visited Mantova with great pleasure, and it was very interesting.

These are not very detailed directions, you first choose the points of interest at the Mantua info point and then follow the written directions in the various tours

Ciao Pierangelo! La nostra guida digitale serve per avere, con un costo molto basso, un itinerario completo della città di Mantova con le attrazioni principali, le informazioni e curiosità dei vari monumenti, e alcuni consigli da local sul cibo!
Certo, uno potrebbe anche: 👉🏻andare all’info point, 👉🏻prendere un elenco di tutti i monumenti, 👉🏻 sceglierne alcuni senza sapere quali sono i più importanti e perdere tempo nel capire cosa conviene fare prima o dopo e in quale ordine 👉🏻cercare le informazioni online (senza sapere se sono verificate e rischiando di annoiarsi dopo qualche riga) oppure pagare meno del costo di una pizza (🍕) e avere un prodotto già funzionante, completo e apprezzato da un sacco di viaggiatori!
Spero che questa recensione possa aiutare altri viaggiatori!
Un saluto

The idea of the digital tour was a revelation, especially for those who, like me, travel with a dog in tow.
The main advantage was being able to manage my time. Mantua is a gem to be sipped: being able to stop to take pictures calmly, or detour into a side alley because the dog needed a stop, without the anxiety of having to chase a group or a physical guide, made the experience totally relaxing.
An inclusive alternative, traditional guided tours often place limits on animal access or take place in cramped spaces where a dog may feel uncomfortable. With the digital support, I was able to enjoy the historical explanation of palaces, monuments and points of interest, thanks to the preparation of the Matteo guide.
Points in favour
Flexibility: You can pause the "guide" for a coffee or a bowl of water for your travel companion.
Zero Stress: No shared headphones or schedule obligations.
