Couldn’t get the app to work

David_D, May 2025
It did not work for us. Or, I should say, I couldn’t get it to work. I installed the app beforehand, like they said. But when I went to the app in Rome, it brought me to pages for me to purchase the service. It did not recognize the purchase I already made. So, since I couldn’t figure out how to use the app, I gave it one star.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hello David, We are very sorry to hear that the application was unable to work for you. We are glad to hear you tried to set everything up beforehand as this is recommended to all of our guests. Normally, the instructions for loading the guide in the application are included in your confirmation email. Also, we have an onsite representative that is meant to assist with any technical issues before your touring begins. It seems some sort of disconnection occurred on our part and we truly apologize for this. We will take the feedback you provided and use it for improvements on our future instructions to guests. We appreciate your review and hope that you enjoyed your time in Rome. Take care, VoxCity

App locked up

Anthony_J, Nov 2023
The app does not show an arrow to show which way you are walking. So brief wrong turns are common. App froze often locking-up phone until re-start.

Shocking

Paola_B, Sep 2023
Complete scam. Could not download the map and after several calls and some online assistance there was no map. A waste of time and money!

Excellent value for money

Lynda_H, Jun 2023
We booked this tour as we had been to Rome before so had seen all the major attractions and just wanted something that would give us some interesting facts and information. This app was excellent as we just wandered round for 3 days listening to the audio commentary which started playing automatically whenever we were close to anything of any interest. We learned so much! It was really great value for money as it continued to work the whole time we were in Rome even though we expected it to stop after the first 24 hours, so that was a bonus. For the 6 or so Euros that it cost it is excellent value for money.

Interessante. Con soli 2...

Interessante. Con soli 2 euro avevo un'audio guida per tanti monumenti di Roma. Facile da installare e da gestire.
