Great introduction to Kaunas

4.00I did this on the 1st day I arrived in Kaunas and it was a great introduction. It was nice to wander the streets and be told which way to walk and be given an explanation about buildings statues and other landmarks. The tour also gave a good background on the history too. I thought it was a little expensive for a downloaded audio tour but on the whole a good experience.
Teenagers loved it. amazing experience

5.00Loved it! Informative but not too much, great stories, pleasant voice and very good app. It was easy to use and very convenient - the audio automatically played recordings at the right place including giving directions when I needed to turn. Nice combo of highlights and hidden gems. Superb and thanks! Recommend.
Amazing experience - Great value for money!

5.00It was a great experience! It is my first time using such interactive tour - it felt as if I am walking with a personal guide! Nothing like boring musuem audio guide. This is a great app and very interesting tour with diverse places - from main landmarks like Laisves avenue and Kaunas Castle, to some hidden gems that I would have not found myself. Not only not found but definitely wouldn't learn so much about culture, traditions and history.
Great audio tour of Kaunas
