The audio guide was easy...

5.00The audio guide was easy to use and paced well. We used one set of wireless ear buds - one for each of us. So we were able to walk and talk while the tour audio guided us around Trondheim. Two thumbs up!
Good Tour but App Confusing

4.00Tour itself was good. App was a pain. Could not get the toute to display. Enjoyed the tour though.
Not recommended, as complicated

2.00It was not a good experience to book the self-guided Audio Trondheim tour "Inner Circle" through Tripadviser: It was very complicated with codes and another app that you had to download (VoiceMap). I did all this the night before, but when I wanted to start the following day in Trondheim, it did NOT WORK! I was quite frustrated as I had already paid for the service and was under time pressure (cruise ship). So I paid a second time, and I paid DIRECTLY on VoiceMap. This worked out well and I still got some explanations about the main attractions of Trondheim... Actually, it would be a good way to learn about a new city on a walk, but please don't be so complicated.
Very informative. Easy to...

5.00A great way to explore the city on your own but guided by this audio tour. Very reasonable price. Easy to download and follow. All 4 of us enjoyed the best highlights of the city.
Great tour!

5.00Great tour. Close to my hotel, and it gave me a basic history of the city. I bought both VoiceMap tours in Trondheim, and they was very informative and good.
In port for only 2 hours - this self guided tour is great

5.00I was a bit concerned about a self-guided tour but it was really simple to use. It even got us back on track when we took a wrong turn. The tour helped us to learn about some of the best parts of Trondheim.
Rubbish
