1.00I didn't get an app on my phone or didn't know or find out how to get this app for the city tour. So I couldn't use that ticket.

5.00Excellent explanation at the various sights. Route takes 2 hours but if you visit the various sights, you will take longer.

3.00Good overview but software is buggy and readings are clearly done by AI which takes away from the experience.
Walking tour of the city with audio guide

4.00Very convenient because you can view at any time on your smartphone all the points of interest to visit. As you approach the point you can hear the description of the place. The great thing is that you can listen and listen again even if far away... You can also select the flags of the places already seen (so you don't risk going wrong). It lasts 2 days and is definitely a great help to plan the tour of the things not to be missed. Point definitely in favor is that you can activate immediately: you buy (although a little expensive) and is immediately available thanks to a code that is sent by email. Only flaw: does not give directions by voice as a navigator
Good experience

5.00I was pleasantly surprised with this app. The route was very good, the clips are 1 and a half to 4 minutes long. U get a little sound in ur headphones when u reached the area of an attraction. The GPS was in part more reliable than Google.maps positionwise. At two locations the clips didn't start, but i am unsure whether it was user error or not. In conclusion, i would and will do it again (in antwerp) as u can start and stop as u go however u please if anything around u catches ur fancy and the price is of the app is low.
