Good information but a lot was off limits to see

Carolyn_R, Aug 2024
The tour was hard to follow because a lot of the areas were closed. It wasn't easy to skip to the next site.

Great experience

Roger_A, Jul 2024
Very convenient and informative! Kind of difficult in the beginning figuring out how the app worked and what was included but once we did it was great! We would definitely recommend!

Good choice

Lisa_S, Sep 2023
Very detailed explanations. Enjoyable to take at own pace. Nice walk through the city. A bargain if you are pressed for time.

Great intro tour to Ravenna at your own pace

Sandra_K, Jul 2023
Great facts about the city at your own pace. The only issue was my playback wasn't automatically continuous so I'd have to keep checking my phone to see if I was in the right area each time.

Good for fast movers

Melissa_E, Jun 2023
I did fine with this tour for the first 2 stops, although the starting point was hard to find and required a $12 entry fee. Then the tour moved ahead quickly, and I was unable to back it up to get the directions on which way to go. I gave up and went shopping.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi Melissa The tour starts outside the attraction and is designed so you don't have to enter it. Did you perhaps start the tour virtually? If you did, it disables the GPS playback and plays one track after the other which would explain why it moved ahead too quickly. Thanks, Alicia

Audio tour a great way to experience Ravenna!

George_A, Jun 2023
This audio tour is a great way to experience Ravenna at your own pace and see all the main things! I highly recommend it. And you can’t beat the price!

Perfect for one day in Ravenna

Carrie_B, Oct 2022
We spent a night in Ravenna prior to a cruise--The tour was easy to follow and took us through the 5 mosaic sights of Ravenna. It was nice to have the commentary

Audio tour worked well!

Travis_P, Jul 2022
A great alternative to a personal guided tour, and I could do it at my own pace and for great value! The guide worked perfectly.

Use this app if u want yo navigate on your own

Joell_B, Jul 2022
Great way to get around this cute little town on your own if you don’t have much time. The app helps you navigate and provides a little history. Without it you may walk right past something.

Bien !

Caroline_P, Nov 2024
Bien intéressant. Pas trop de longues descriptions, mais juste assez pour nous en apprendre plus. Le parcours était bien fait.

Wandeling in Ravenna met uitleg

Mieke_v, Sep 2021
Heel goede en duidelijke uitleg door aangename stem. Geen nood meer aan freetour, we hebben deze app gebruikt omdat de gids van freetour niet was komen opdagen. Vanaf nu gaan we deze manier om een wandeling met deskundige uitleg nog veel gebruiken! Hopelijk zijn er in vele steden zulke wandelingen beschikbaar! Sterk aanbevolen!
