A great self guided tourB2742EUsophieb
This guide was amazing! The experiences at all the different locations was great. I wish I had read the text beforehand as you needed to book and pay an admission fee for some of the places.
The tour took me around 2 hours but that was without going into the different paid experiences.
The area was pretty quiet with minimal crowds, which made it easy to look around freely!
The tour is best people that want to learn more about Modena and want to see all the best places without just wondering around!
My husband went to the Ferrari museum so this tour was ideal for me to go a look around and it’s the tour took help me!
A good way to explore a small cityhollyb131099
A good way to take in the sights of Modena. Really liked being able to move at our own pace and stop to explore areas whilst there. The food recommendations were really good. Only took us an hour and a half or so. Slightly annoying that the voiceover had some quite bad pronunciation of the Italian place names/people.
Modena walking tour with downloaded audio.LesleyE99
It was interesting to download the sites to visit with history of the various places we visited. It was very convenient to do the walk on your own at your own pace and read about the stops. Matteo's research was very informative.
Modena Self Paced Walking Tour!Connector02787821232
I thought the Walking Cap Modena Walking Tour was value for money if used to its full potential. It’s an easy way to explore a city at your own pace. I liked that I could play, pause and replay the attraction information.
I will use this this type of walking tour again.

Independent Walking Tourangelal780
This tour covers most of everything you would like to see in Modena. The best thing is that you can go at your own pace. Would recommend.
Sep 22, 2025, 12:50:51 PM Second tour that I was unable to share with my husband, my traveling partner we still do not know how to get the program onto his phone what does buying two tickets mean if only one person can use the device?
audio tour and link did not work. tried to download the audio tour and i was warned not to as it is spam/scam

Fantastic walking guide to ModenamichaeldL6629PK
Brilliant idea! Went at our own pace; could listen or read . Lovely variety of anecdotes and so easy to follow. Links are excellent too. Would highly recommend and going to use for our next city too. A great experience, thank you.
A good one for probably young people.larramendi2002
A bit complicated for me to use the guide, I do not recommend it at all.
Excellent audio guideRoam21716451538
Aug 19, 2026, 11:47:57 AM Fairly well-made audio guide
Several languages available.
Several good explanations, but a few more photos could have been included in the tour.
The only more negative point is that it is a web page, so it is mandatory to have mobile data, but above all, sometimes the page reloads, so we have to "scroll" until we find where we were. But it is not serious enough to miss out on it! 😁
Convenient and freealejandraver_nicam
Very good, you can follow it at your own pace, no need to meet anyone, just recommend headphones
AI travel guides are annoying.Michael_Wachholz
AI voices are annoying. The language is monotonous, the pronunciation is often incorrect, the translations are literal - and idioms cannot be translated directly.
"A truly pleasant experience!" Matteo created a clear, interesting, and curiosity-rich audio guide that allowed us to visit Modena completely independently. Well-organized itinerary, perfect for discovering the city in a day without missing the most important points. Highly recommended!
Family trip ModenasimonapG9766TM

An alternative to guided tours, easy to enjoy. We used it in two days. I recommend it to those who want to have an experience without too many constraints.
It was very easy to activate the online guide. Very good and engaging driving. It was a really good discovery
Practical guideA4540ORbarbarac
Jun 23, 2025, 12:43:11 PM I found the guide useful, simple to use and convenient because it is linked to Google Maps. Interesting that you can listen to short audio. Even in a different order from the one proposed
Positive experienceEliata
Valid alternative to visit Modena without time constraints. The route is predefined but you can interrupt it and start again as you like. Links to the various historic buildings of the tour (useful for timetables and ticket costs), info on typical products of the area and the places where to taste them are also indicated.
Very useful to get around the city to visit and practical for adults and children.
I will definitely take advantage of this offer in other cities
Excellent value for moneyjeronimol510
Very useful and practical guide to know the main points of the old town. Very convenient indications of tickets and prices to visit the different sites of interest.
