This was my first audio experience with Viator. It was an excellent experience. It took me a bit to easily navigate the information provided for the tour, but once I figured that out, I was happily on my way. The narrator’s style was engaging and the depth of information excellent. The recommendations at the end of the ppt were delicious and reliable. My only regret was that I could not schedule an in-person tour with the guide. I felt he was quite knowledgeable and could have answered additional questions I had if he were there. (I tend to ask a lot of questions.)

Very informative audiotour with a lot of information and details about the monuments in Rouen. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Really informative tour. Although a little skewed towards the American tourist. I think the pacing should be looked at, obviously you can pause and restart the audio, but it shouldn’t be necessary every time for everyone - it is physically impossible to cover the distances in the time allocated at the moment.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

I normally love audio walking tours but not this one. The presenter clearly knew his city well and there was LOTS of information.
HOWEVER
1) it was delivered in the manner of bored air crew delivering the safety speech and I think this is being very unfair to many air crew.
2) the directions were very poor in the audio such than we constantly had to look at the map.
3) there were no distinct well marked stops in the audio.
4) the audio file repeatedly reset itself to the beginning.
5) it was so DULL! The description was so detailed he might’ve explained that water was wet or that roofs protect from the rain. My husband gave up after 20 minutes and I gave up after 40 minutes. I will however save the recording for whenever I have insomnia.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your impressions of the Rouen audio tour. I'm sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations.
I take your points regarding the delivery of information and the quality of directions very seriously. Your feedback on the pace of the presentation and the need to constantly refer to the map will help me improve the format and clarity of the audio.
I also apologize for the technical issues you encountered with the audio file. This is not the experience we aim to provide.
Thank you again for your feedback, and I hope you will give us another chance in the future for a more enriching experience.

This is great if you want to go at your own pace or stretch the sites across days/times. There are some interesting details shared so it’s much better than just reading a guide book.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

The tour is informative and entertaining, and it is helpful to be able to stop and start. We followed at our own pace and also followed some of the suggestions for additional activities.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you! So happy to hear you liked my audio tour and my city :)
Mark_J, Feb 2025
Great way to explore the city at your own pace. Good tips about restaurants and things to do in Rouen

Thanks Mark. I appreciate your good review :)

Really interesting 😀
This audio-guided walking tour is simply a great way to explore Rouen at your pace.
100% recommended!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
John, thanks a lot for you good review. I always update my audio guided tour in order to offer the best experience about Rouen.
Mike_R, Sep 2024
The tour offered many details on the sites that we stopped and visited. It was also significantly less expensive than an actual person. Naturally, there are trade-off between those two choices. But for us, it was just right. We could meander from site to site at our leisure and our pace rather than being hustled through by a tour guy. The directions seem to be a little bit Kurt, in that we didn’t quite end up where we expected based on guidance from the audio tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
THANKS. I am delighted to know that you enjoyed my audio tour of Rouen
Dena_T, Aug 2024
Not my favorite. It was an AI generated audio, and not a real person, so it was hard to listen to. We ended up just turning it off and doing it ourselves.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with my audio guided tour.
The voice was created by AI to ensure perfect pronunciation and captivating speech. All historical information comes from official sources and was written by me.
As announced at the start of the visit, you are free to pause the audio tour in order to discover the city and its monuments at your own pace.
Hoping that you will have had an excellent stay in Rouen.

This is a comprehensive audio walking tour of Rouen. It will take you about an hour from start to finish and provides many interesting details of the beautiful city. We did have issues with downloading the audio, but customer service was very prompt and helped us resolve the issue.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for this good review. I'm glad to know that you enjoyed the audio tour. I am always there to satisfy my guests :)

Very useful application. A viable alternative to driving. You can use it at your own pace. It helps you find your way around a city of art like Rouen to visit the major points of interest with historical notions and curiosities. Cost absolutely affordable.

Grazie mille per il tuo feedback positivo sulla mia visita audio guidata di Rouen! Sono lieto di sapere che hai trovato l'app utile e che offre un'alternativa valida alle visite guidate tradizionali. La possibilità di esplorare la città con i propri tempi è uno dei vantaggi principali.
È fantastico sapere che hai potuto scoprire i principali punti d'interesse con storie e curiosità. Sono sempre qui per aiutarti a scoprire il meglio di Rouen.

An absolutely great experience from start to finish! I was totally involved in this unusual, captivating and full of surprises. The one-hour tour (good, more or less if you walk fast or take your time) allows you to discover the main tourist places of the city. Special mention for the discovery of the Saint-Maclou cemetery, a place full of history and emotions, with the culmination of the mummified cat: both confusing and fascinating, a real highlight of the visit! Take the opportunity to stop at the pastry shop next to the entrance to the cemetery. The pastries are beautiful and all look delicious. I tested The Apple (very very good).
Everything is very well paced, with audio and PDF support. Sometimes there may be too much detail but the speech is passionate and exciting. The value for money is excellent: for a very reasonable price, we live a cultural, historical and sensory adventure that is well worth a visit!
And what about the gourmet break offered at the end? An excellent idea to conclude in style. The bakery located close to the last stop is a nugget: delicious products, a friendly atmosphere... We feasted there! Frankly, this is the kind of experience you want to recommend around you.

C'était la visite parfaite pour moi. Je ne voulais pas m’engager avec un groupe d’inconnus et je voulais explorer la ville à mon rytyme. Les lieux touristiques étaient intéressants et le guide audio était facile à écouter et facile à comprendre.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Linda, merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire. Ravi de savoir que ma visite audio guidée ait pu convenir à votre mode de voyage :)

No existia el punto de recogida de las audioguias. Escribi y me enviaron acceso desde el telefono cuando ya me iba de la ciudad.
