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
