The voice tour is excellent, provides you with perfect descriptions of the location, adds in some cool random facts and works great. The GPS is really accurate, do charge your phone before using as it does work the battery!

Excellent self-paced walking tour of Leuven. Clear, informative, interesting narration. Ability to pause tour and go into buildings along the route, saving having to retrace steps to return. Really enjoyed this tour.

Despite the rain, this was a very nice tour through old Leuven with many beautiful buildings. The explanation was clear and nice to hear all the details. The walk takes less than an hour. In between, there are plenty of opportunities to visit a terrace for a cup of coffee/drink.

We could not get the chance to do it before leaving for Amsterdam. Please refund us to book another attraction in Amsterdam.
Perfect for an half-day trip.

I got a good general overview of the town and have gone back to spend more time at some of the recommended places. I liked the technology and the self paced format.
