We loved that we could access the app on different days and pick up where we left off and we could do it in any order. Photos were clear, the map was sometimes aided by Google maps but easy to navigate.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the flexibility of accessing the app across different days and choosing your own order, that’s exactly the kind of freedom we want our guests to have. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again on another tour soon.
Best regards,
The Tourific Team

Tour includes part of the wall walk that is closed. Also, do not attempt this walk before 10am as gates to first stops are locked.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for your feedback, and we're truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced.
The closure of part of the wall walk was temporary and unfortunately outside of our control, but we understand how it may have impacted your experience. We also appreciate your note about the access timings — we've taken this into account and will update the tour instructions accordingly to prevent this issue for future travelers.
We’ve processed a full refund for your booking, and hope you'll consider trying one of our other tours in the future.
Best regards,
The Tourific Team

The highlights that we saw were interesting, but there were not enough clear directions while navigating through the city or much extra information about the city while walking from place to place
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We will work to improve the directions and incorporate more information along the walk.

Disappointing. The map in the app did not work and we found the exact same tour in a Rick Steves travel book. Would not recommend this tour.
Amelie_T, Jul 2025
The standalone tour with the app on our phones was great. The descriptions were not too heavy and the photos made sure to see the right thing.
