Great Self-Guided Tour

5.00This was an awesome self-guided tour. You can stop & start the tour at any point and proceed in any order, if you prefer. The information provided at each stop was just enough to pique our interest and remember the experience forever. Amazing history of Rennes and the region. If you are here in 2025, access to the beginning of the tour is a little awkward because of construction. No problem, be flexible and enjoy.
Interesting, good way to see the city

5.00The handling was easy, everything worked really well, the tour itself was interesting. We particularly liked the small puzzle tasks that require a close look. The duration was also perfect, the individual speed is a clear plus.

5.00Informative and easy to use, this was a good way to visit some of the best sites in Rennes at a pace that suits. The "app" was easy to use and I completed the tour in 1.5 hours.

4.00The experience is interesting when you do it as a family, everyone participates and the fact that there are puzzles is very good option for children.
Great self-guided tour, unfortunately bad AI voice

4.00Tour with website and audio worked great. Unfortunately, the voice for the audio guide is the classic Google translator voice, which always delivers strange emphasis and also speaks too fast in my opinion.
Maybe try chatGPT instead

2.00I'm not sure if it's just me, but both my guest and I felt like the concept of this tour was great but the execution was middling at best. It was nice to see the sites of Rennes, but there was maybe a maximum of 15 minutes of actual content to listen to, most of which was very repetitive and vague. It felt like the actual guide content had been written mostly by AI, using many of the tropes that those programs use to sound intelligent. However, chatGPT is free and this was not. I think you'd at least save some money by using an LLM instead.
