Good summary of information. However the voice seems to be AI, had multiple different pronunciation of the same words. Script seems to be AI generated also based on some of the phrasing. Good info to help you find your way around and see sights, highlights.

Itinerary
Stand before the majestic Gothic cathedral where nearly every French king was crowned — and uncover the ancient secret said to descend from heaven itself. What happened here changed the course of French history.
Peer into a mysterious underground gallery built by the Romans — cool, shadowy, and perfectly preserved for nearly 2,000 years. What was stored here, and why does Reims hold one of the world’s rarest examples?
Stand beneath one of the oldest surviving Roman triumphal arches in the world — a gateway that has seen empires rise and fall. But why is it named after the god of war, and what secrets are carved into its stone?
Walk into a royal square where kings once stood tall — and where a statue's outstretched hand hides layers of forgotten symbolism.
Know more about the royal backstage where kings feasted, changed, and prepared for coronation — a place hiding one of France’s most sacred relics.
Discover how an American steel tycoon helped rebuild war-torn Reims — not with weapons, but with books and bold Art Deco design.
This unassuming school was once the nerve center of the Allied forces — where World War II in Europe officially came to an end. But why wasn’t Eisenhower in the room when Germany surrendered?
Gaze upon a haunting memorial where bronze figures mourn and remember the fallen of the Great War.
Known more about a medieval mansion where one man rebuilt history — but left a wing in ruins on purpose.

A quick and easy introduction to the city of Reims! I always prefer to have an actual guide but this was perfect for a last minute option. We learned some interesting facts about the city and its history.
O really liked the guide- comments were user-friendly: short and informative. Great value for money. Improved my Reims experience:))
I could not download the tour yesterday and can not find a download link available today. I thought this would be available for a year as advertised.
We enjoyed the tour and it worked well for us. It was easy to download the app and follow the route at our own pace. The big problem I had was an unexpected one with my iPhone and others had similar. When playing the commentary I was interrupted by my BBC Sounds app and this prevented me using the commentary. I could not cure it quickly. Luckily I could share my friend’s earphones. I have checked and it is a known problem with Media Player but I had no time to deal with it. Very frustrating. I suggest you warn people about this in advance. Thanks
Great way to see the city of Reims! This self-guided tour gave me a lot of great information on things to see and the history behind it. You could go at your own pace and stop the tour until you got to the next stop. The last stop at the place where the nazis surrendered was very interesting. Going to the museum was extra but if you are a history buff worth it.
Great tour app easy to navigate . We learned a lot about hidden history of Reims .
We visited on a Sunday and the tour took us just under 2 hours (excluding looking inside the cathedral). The Carnegie Library was not open on a Sunday and the museum at the Roosevelt school was temporarily closed for renovation. Had these been open the tour would have lasted longer. We were in the magnificent cathedral for about 40 minutes. If you like a paper map get one in your language from the tourist office by the cathedral.
It was interesting but you had to keep your screen open all the time to know,where to go to the next point of interest.
Great experience. It was my first time trying this, and I would definitely recommend it. Perfect way to explore the city at your own pace while learning about its history
Great if you’ve got a twelve year old with you to help navigate the technology.
Great if you can navigate the technology. We found it a bit stressful but I’m sure a twelve year old would have managed it with ease.
This walking tour was thoughtful.and comprehensive and much easier to use than an inperson guide..We will return to this source again.
Good audio tour and great alternative to a real tour guide if needed. The map was well laid out and easy to follow, and it was very informative :)
Chris was very interesting! He answered many questions and shared history we had never heard before. I would do another session to pick up where he left off.
Really enjoyed using the app. Information was clear with the right amount of content. Liked the freedom to view each site in your own time, take a break for a drink and then continue. Will definitely use for other locations in the future.
The self guided Tour of Reims led us on a walk of discovery, finding very interesting places we may have just walked past. Knowing more of the history of Reims helped us appreciate it so much more. What’s a brave and beautiful city.
Enjoyed and recommend. Realized late that map shows your location! We ished the photos had circles and close ups more, updated museum hours, high tech features, but simple and easy to use. Misleading choose date feature a glitch, but just ignore!
We would not have found all of these places without the guide. It was lovely to have a map and some information at my own speed
Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed our guided walking tour through Reims which we could do at our own pace. The information, pictures and maps were excellent. It was easy to download the app, and the tour we bought, very streamlined. The historical information given was outstanding and very accurate. We are planning our trip to UK next week and will definitely use again Can highly recommend 😊😊😊😊
Intersting tour, the chosen locations were great and all quite close together, so you could listen to more than one episode while staying in one shadowy spot (especially helpfull in summer). The German language model had some problems with the spelling of "Reims", which first was quite annoying, but we got used to it. Sadly, we didn't manage to test any other language model (French or English) once we selected the German one. So we don't know, if that problem apllies to all models. Apart from that, it was a very detailed and informative tour through the west-part of the Reims oldtown.
A good walk through Reims! Clear and educational. We learned a lot about Reims and the history of the city. (A tip, make it a real round trip so you always return to your starting point, so connect point 1 to 13)
The app is easy to download and offers many possibilities.
The AI translation into German is sometimes really strange. It should be improved. Otherwise, though, a top-notch thing. Worth it.
A nice tour where you can manage your own time.
Interesting walking tour of Reims. The audio guide with map and photos works perfectly and the information provided gives you fun and special facts about Reims. The length of the trip was fine for us. You can choose whether or not to visit certain places, which will lengthen or shorten the route. The Dutch audio is perfectly intelligible, despite the rather strong English accent. Recommended!
It was a nice tour with the most important stops. This is how you get a nice impression. Thank you very much!
It was a nice tour, with lots of interesting information and background. The app worked well, with the map and the relevant information per location.
We see places in Reims that we probably would not have discovered otherwise, and we do so at our own pace! Sufficient information, just the right amount of detail for us. The photos were also good for clarifying what was either currently inaccessible or no longer clearly recognizable due to weathering! Kindly, the tour could be continued the following day, as we had started it too late on the first day! It is very conceivable to repeat this type of tour in another city!
Very interesting route to learn a lot about the city of Reims. Low cost. To do without hesitation.
After some hassle installing and validating a very useful medium with sufficient information and excellent navigation.
Nice trip, you get to know a lot and in Dutch fairly well told. You notice that the AI has been translated. But easy to understand.
The experience as such was very interesting. I give a rating of 3 because more than half of the stages to visit were closed or under repair: the ruins, the palace and its courtyard, the war museum and that of "Duvernoy", as well as the school. Otherwise, the tour was very informative.
Was a great walk. You can rewind and find the locations easily. There's even a picture of what you're about to see.
After a guided tour of the cathedral we started not without difficulty the circuit. Can't follow the circuit without Google Maps. We decided to stop after half an hour due to lack of feedback.
