It should be made clear travelers will use their phones for the tour and not a different audio device. My husband's phone had been stolen and mine is old and doesn't work well enough.
We don't understand why there was any meeting place if the tour was audio on a device with no guide. We were told by Viator to meet at a certain place to check in and no one was there. We looked for almost 30 minutes to find someone to help.
The only good thing was I had a credit so it didn't cost more that 1 euro.
This was a waste of time. We were very disappointed we didn't have information to make our walk in Taormina better.
I am very disappointed in this purchase through Viator.

Download app in advance or open in browser. Had trouble occasionally with audio stalling. Would be nice if it used geolocation so the audio started where you are

A great idea of a self guided tour , was easy to use and follow the instructions, we found things we wouldn’t have seen otherwise!!
Thank you 🤩

Joining instructions unclear and misleading. Meeting Point should read Starting Point. Couldn't access audio guide despite a number of attempts. User support ok but did not solve issues. Taomina well worth a visit.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Ciao! 👉🏻 You had link and password in your voucher + 👉🏻you got message with instruction the day before the event +👉🏻You got support in 3 minutes after your request 😊.
Unfortunately, even if the product is a digital guide, the "Meeting point" is something from Viator so we can't change it! 😊
Hope that this answer will help other travellers!

We found it useful to be able to follow a guide as didn’t know the area could home in the the things that were of interest to use

You have to keep entering your password every time you want to pickup where you left off! You cannot download the tour so you use all your data to access the telephone network. Not worth using all my data. If you come in to Taoromina with a tour company, you have to walk to the end of Via Umberto to get to the “starting point” which is really ridiculous and a waste of time. The walking tour sucked and I wasted my $$. My tour should be refunded because I abandoned using it for all the above reasons. And ps I don’t need to text you on WhatsApp to figure out all the reasons why the tour didn’t work!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave this review!
👉🏻 One of the strengths of digital guides is the flexibility of use. One can pause, go eat and relax for a few hours and then resume. The password is only asked for again if several hours of inactivity pass, and the time to enter it again is about 5 seconds...I think it is a bearable effort ☺️
👉🏻 One of the requirements of the guide, specified even before purchasing the product, is online operation (despite using very little mobile data).
👉🏻 The starting point is the ideal one for many tourists however, being a digital guide, it is not mandatory.
👉🏻 The support on whatsapp is precisely to explain how to optimize the experience: often customers write to us and then they can enjoy the day, other times they spend more time writing a long negative review rather than asking for support 😉.
👉🏻 Finally, for less than the cost of an Italian aperitif, you have a practical platform, already tested and with verified information: I think it's not bad 😉
I hope this long answer can help other travelers!

Different way of walking tour but very detailed and interesting.
Plus you could read notes as well.
Definitely use again

This tour was audio through your phone and it was hard to follow the directions. We ended not completing the tour and just explored on our own.
Response from Host, Jul 2025

Ciao

This walking tour was very informative and would have been even better with earpods due to street noise. I would recommend starting it early in the day though because we didn’t allow enough time to finish as we started mid afternoon not realizing how extensive it was. The guide was very informative and easy to follow once you coordinate with your walking map on your phone. Great affordable way to see and learn about sites you would otherwise miss out on without this guided tour.

Great! We were able to visit Taormina in the best possible conditions thanks to the audio guide. You did not visit everything because 3 places are a little far on foot (20-25 min) but taking our time and reading all the reviews we still took 3h30 without visiting the ancient theater. We have learned a lot, I recommend 200%, all tourist cities should offer this kind of tour

Ciao! It's a pity you did not send any message as we could have supported you without any problems 💪🏻. As specified in the description the guides are online so there is (at the moment) no possibility to download them. Also after purchase: 👉🏻 you receive an email with details to access 👉🏻 you receive a whatsapp message with instructions to access 👉🏻 you receive a voucher with details to access. So I am sorry that you did not see any of this information! 🥲 I hope this answer can help other travelers.
