Rouen Audio-guided Tour

This product is boring, AI generated rubbish. A waste of time and money. A fake ‘host’, fake voice, unchecked AI. It couldn’t even pronounce the name of the town….

An AI voice talking from not too interesting of a script. You get what you pay for I suppose........

This was my first audio experience with Viator. It was an excellent experience. It took me a bit to easily navigate the information provided for the tour, but once I figured that out, I was happily on my way. The narrator’s style was engaging and the depth of information excellent. The recommendations at the end of the ppt were delicious and reliable. My only regret was that I could not schedule an in-person tour with the guide. I felt he was quite knowledgeable and could have answered additional questions I had if he were there. (I tend to ask a lot of questions.)

Very informative audiotour with a lot of information and details about the monuments in Rouen. Highly recommended!

Really informative tour. Although a little skewed towards the American tourist. I think the pacing should be looked at, obviously you can pause and restart the audio, but it shouldn’t be necessary every time for everyone - it is physically impossible to cover the distances in the time allocated at the moment.

I normally love audio walking tours but not this one. The presenter clearly knew his city well and there was LOTS of information. HOWEVER 1) it was delivered in the manner of bored air crew delivering the safety speech and I think this is being very unfair to many air crew. 2) the directions were very poor in the audio such than we constantly had to look at the map. 3) there were no distinct well marked stops in the audio. 4) the audio file repeatedly reset itself to the beginning. 5) it was so DULL! The description was so detailed he might’ve explained that water was wet or that roofs protect from the rain. My husband gave up after 20 minutes and I gave up after 40 minutes. I will however save the recording for whenever I have insomnia.

I have done many audio tours before. I love them usually. This was filled with lots of information , clearly the presenter knows the history of their city. HOWEVER 1) the directions are poor and it’s necessary to keep stopping and looking at the map 2) the audio file doesn’t have a nice clearly identifiable set of stops and annoyingly keeps restarting from the beginning 3) all the information is read out drone like from a script with the enthusiasm of a bored aircrew delivering the safety advice. ( some aircrew are much more engaging) It is utterly without humour and is totally unengaging. I shall keep the file for those awful nights when I can’t sleep - his drone is guaranteed to make me sleep. My husband gave up after 20 minutes he found it sooo boring. I stuck it out for another 25 but couldn’t finish it. Really disappointed.

It was good if you don't want to spend the money on yours. Wish it was easier to navigate to the different locations.

This is great if you want to go at your own pace or stretch the sites across days/times. There are some interesting details shared so it’s much better than just reading a guide book.

The tour is informative and entertaining, and it is helpful to be able to stop and start. We followed at our own pace and also followed some of the suggestions for additional activities.

Great way to explore the city at your own pace. Good tips about restaurants and things to do in Rouen

Really interesting 😀 This audio-guided walking tour is simply a great way to explore Rouen at your pace. 100% recommended!

The tour offered many details on the sites that we stopped and visited. It was also significantly less expensive than an actual person. Naturally, there are trade-off between those two choices. But for us, it was just right. We could meander from site to site at our leisure and our pace rather than being hustled through by a tour guy. The directions seem to be a little bit Kurt, in that we didn’t quite end up where we expected based on guidance from the audio tour.

The audio guide was nice, although a bit overpriced for the actual quality. I hoped to receive the MP3 file immediately after booking, but actually I had to reach out to the company on this app in order to receive it, which happened two hours after purchase.

Not my favorite. It was an AI generated audio, and not a real person, so it was hard to listen to. We ended up just turning it off and doing it ourselves.

This is a comprehensive audio walking tour of Rouen. It will take you about an hour from start to finish and provides many interesting details of the beautiful city. We did have issues with downloading the audio, but customer service was very prompt and helped us resolve the issue.

Love the fact that we can tour at our own pace. The guide is easy to follow. Love the restaurant recommendations too!

The link to start the audio file was sent via email. The author knew how to tell funny and important stories. We would gladly do it again.

Complete and well explained. It is a very educational audio guide that is easy to follow. Some monuments were closed, but since they are well described, you can see them from the outside.

Very useful application. A viable alternative to driving. You can use it at your own pace. It helps you find your way around a city of art like Rouen to visit the major points of interest with historical notions and curiosities. Cost absolutely affordable.

An absolutely great experience from start to finish! I was totally involved in this unusual, captivating and full of surprises. The one-hour tour (good, more or less if you walk fast or take your time) allows you to discover the main tourist places of the city. Special mention for the discovery of the Saint-Maclou cemetery, a place full of history and emotions, with the culmination of the mummified cat: both confusing and fascinating, a real highlight of the visit! Take the opportunity to stop at the pastry shop next to the entrance to the cemetery. The pastries are beautiful and all look delicious. I tested The Apple (very very good). Everything is very well paced, with audio and PDF support. Sometimes there may be too much detail but the speech is passionate and exciting. The value for money is excellent: for a very reasonable price, we live a cultural, historical and sensory adventure that is well worth a visit! And what about the gourmet break offered at the end? An excellent idea to conclude in style. The bakery located close to the last stop is a nugget: delicious products, a friendly atmosphere... We feasted there! Frankly, this is the kind of experience you want to recommend around you.

C'était la visite parfaite pour moi. Je ne voulais pas m’engager avec un groupe d’inconnus et je voulais explorer la ville à mon rytyme. Les lieux touristiques étaient intéressants et le guide audio était facile à écouter et facile à comprendre.
