I enjoyed listening to the informative audio of all the places it recommended. Map and directions were easy to follow. Stop and continue whenever you feel like it. I definitely did the whole tour.
This was the first time that I did a Walking Tour with earbuds, but it was quite informative. I must say I didn’t get to the last stop as it was quite hot in Trapani. My only concern was had a bit of difficulty logging on initially and when one would tap the button for the directions to the next location, it seemed as though I had to start from the beginning from the text that the provider had sent me to follow the next site to see otherwise quite enjoyable and innovative.
Great way to see a city. The app has the maps and directions and also is full of information.
Unfortunately we walked on a Monday so all the churches etc were closed. But it was still a nice route through town and good to hear the stories behind each site.
Some information, better read than staccato delivery. We were not informed that everything is shut on a Monday.
It was a dark and stormy day and sailings to favignana had been cancelled. Bummer. So what's a guy to do when his plans are scuppered? Do a walking tour. Downloaded the tour and off I went. Very educational, saw things I wouldn't have known about and all done at my own pace. And all for a few euro. Fantastico!
Fine. Good balance content/price. No rush, good walk, main sites im city. Good sugestions on food. Recomend this for all.
V handy tour. Covered main sights. Good detail. The map is v good and information provided is good. I found it easy to use and would recommend.
Wow, what a great walking tour! Don't miss this great tour of the city! We really enjoyed learning about the history. The English was exceptional and the stories were very informative and interesting. Thank you. We will be using your great services again!
This was a great way to see the city and get some exercise while learning a lot. I truly enjoyed the experience. I got to explore a lot more of Trapani than I would have ever seen otherwise
The audio walking tour in Trapani exceeded my expectations. The audio system worked perfectly and was very easy to use, making the experience smooth from start to finish. One of the highlights was the integration with Google Maps — the link provided was incredibly convenient and helped guide the route effortlessly. The content itself was clear, engaging, and informative. I learned a great deal about Trapani’s rich history and culture, all presented in a way that was both accessible and insightful. The narration was professional and easy to follow, making it a pleasure to explore the city at my own pace. Overall, this audio tour is well worth the price. It’s a fantastic way to discover Trapani, especially for those who enjoy learning as they explore. Highly recommended!
Thank heavens for this walking guide! It took us on a really interesting walk through the streets of Trapani to places we would never have found without it. The links to Google maps was really helpful. If only every city offered something like this!
Excellent solution for having a guide available.
Effective, efficient, easy, valid product for arousing a desire for a visit and further study
Well-done tour.... thank goodness, however, that we had two cell phones because mine could not change language... too bad
Excellent experience, very easy to use
A nice experience around Trapani. The perfect guide, you won't get bored because it gives you the most important information.
Very practical and at the same time informative system (without excessive details reserved for experts/passionate about art history). Unfortunately, however, needing to use it on Monday for transportation needs, I found various "attractions" closed (particularly the churches) and one under restoration. Fortunately, they moved the statues of the "mysteries" to the nearby church of the Jesuit College, and I was able to appreciate them.
Unfortunately, we found it bad, it seems that the audio guide is in Italian but it IS not.You should just read, for us very useless. We're sorry, it should be clearer. Cordiality
At first a bit of a mess, but then great, I had a hard time situating myself, once there everything was sewing and singing, I recommend it, economic
