5.00The guide was superb and the english was clear. The information provided was just right, a nice mix of history, culture and even a bit on the federal government which is important as this is Bern! The app worked well for us, even under the porticoes and awnings... Highly recommended - nice voice to spend a few hours with on your vacation!
