Fantastic to know Bologna

5.00She's fantastic. Explanations jump automatically when you approach the site they will explain. It allows you to get to know the city very completely and at your own pace.
Excellent experience. To be repeated

5.00Excellent experience. The audio guide is activated, during the route indicated by the map, at each point of interest marked with a flag. Very good explanation.
Loose content

2.00We found the content very loose, a lot of audios were no longer than 30 seconds. In others there were minutes of music... We learned something and in the end, following the tour, you get an idea, but I do not recommend it.
Walking solo

5.00Great audio guide! Perfect to discover the city at my own pace. I think I wasn’t the only one using it, because I always met the same people along the way — we could almost have formed a small group without knowing it!
Great tour to do at your own pace

5.00This was a great way to see the city. As it was a guided tour on an app I could do it at my own pace over two days. I would often stop for a bite to eat or to explore an area. The stories and fun facts really brought it all to life. Also, I discovered parts of the city that I would never have found myself.
Disappointing.
