5.00I was apprehensive because I’m not tech savvy. It’s a no brainer you just follow the map and the guide also tells you if you are off course. I discovered beautiful gems and was charmed by the narrator
Great, quick way to see the city!

5.00I loved this! For such a small city, I think it was good to do this tour self guided. I’m solo traveling and liked being able to go at my own pace and take pictures, etc. Not have to worry about being left behind by the group or not being able to hear the guide. It is a pretty busy, touristy city. So it was nice to be able to do it on my own and avoid the crowds. The area you walk is small and condensed though. And also pick a time of day that was convenient for me. I will be using this app in other cities!! Keep in mind you do need to download the VoiceMap app. But Viator sends you an email with all of the details!
Great App!

5.00The tour was very easy to follow. Step by step and turn by turn, following was one of the easiest tours we've taken. When we arrived at the spots marked on the map, the item being described was right in front of us. Very good directions and very interesting details about the things we were seeing. Enjoyed touring this way so much, I purchased another one for another city.
