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!

Padova in a day

Annamarie_C, Jan 2025
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

Padova a beautiful city

Emilie_I, Oct 2024
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).

Response from Host, Oct 2024

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 Matteo Walking Cap

Enjoyable walk through Padova

Debra_K, Oct 2024
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.

Giovanna_R, Jan 2026
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 🙂

Padova by walk

Simone_C, Mar 2025
Bella città nonostante un sabato molto piovoso Pasticcerie nell’ordine: Tombolato Tadiotti Pedrocchi

Come goderti la città in autonomia

Elena_B, Feb 2025
Utilissima La prossima volta la prenoterò il più tardi possibile visto che dura h.24 dal momento che la prenoti

L'audio guida per tutti

ALESSANDRA_G, Dec 2024
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

Un po’ deludente

Grazia_D, Nov 2024
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 Matteo Walking Cap
