Worked out great. We did it a little out of order due to where
We stayed. It was easy, no problem. The explanations were not too long, but informative.
The map very useful.
Self guide need your phone with internet. Hard to figure out otherwise. Did not find Matteo for paper map etc
Great tour. Self service was so convenient and interesting. We got to go at our own pace and were able to read and review from the written materials. Great idea!
A great way to see the city very easy to follow and use the website. The guide spoke clear English. Thank you
It was a great way to visit Padova for a day; we were able to tour at our own pace. The information shared was enough for basic history with opportunity to delve deeper into
I got a little confused at the beginning thinking one church was another but eventually got on track. Would have like some more sights (I’m staying near the observatory so would have like to know more about that and some of the other parks).

Ciao Emilie! In the guide each monument is included in a specific paragraph with directions to get there via google maps - it's strange that you got confused! 🤔 I hope you still enjoyed the experience and I hope to see you in another one of my digital guides!💪🏻
Ciao

You are able to start and stop the audio at any point. Easy to do the tour at your own pace. Gave you enough information on each tour site to get you started.
Unable to log in, I am certainly old and clumsy with digital technology but I received no assistance to continue my experience with this application

The sights are well chosen and easy to find. We had a problem getting on. However, we were quickly helped via WhatsApp. If you want to explore Padua, this is a very good opportunity.

An alternative to group tours. Useful guide for those who have little time to visit the city. Time elasticity, manageable according to your needs. You visit the main places and you get ideas for a further visit to do more calmly... The route is explained in a simple and intuitive way even for those who have no sense of direction 🙂
Auto-translated
Very good because we went at our own pace and walked everything recommended. It is very accessible if you have internet.

Bella città nonostante un sabato molto piovoso
Pasticcerie nell’ordine: Tombolato Tadiotti Pedrocchi
Utilissima
La prossima volta la prenoterò il più tardi possibile visto che dura h.24 dal momento che la prenoti
Bisogna sapere che, se si volesse visitare una città in maniera rilassata, senza spese eccessive, con i propri tempi, questo è un modo nuovo, molto comodo che apprezzerete sicuramente
Speravo ci fossero molte più informazioni sui posti visitati.
Avevo acquistato il servizio principalmente per l’audioguida, ma gli approfondimenti si potevano solamente leggere e non ascoltare.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Ciao Grazia, è un peccato che tu non sia riuscita ad ascoltare gli audio! Come ti ho mostrato, la guida include TUTTI gli audio di ogni singola attrazione e si trovavano appena sotto il titolo del monumento /attrazione specifica.
Spero di vederti ancora in un'altra guida digitale!
Ciao
