Otherwise it was great, but I would have loved to have a rel person narrating instead of AI. The robot-voice made the listening experience worse. But all in all it was still a fun and convenient way to explore! Perhaps invest in a human to translate if possible.

Good value, although stops could have been organized better. I felt like I was doing a lot of backtracking. Would have been even better with specific directions for getting from point A to point B.
Using the Tourific App tours has been a fantastic way to have an initial tour of a city and learn about it. Moving at your own pace is great, so you can stop for a drink or food at anytime, then continue on afterwards. We also used the self guided tours in Warsaw, Stockholm, Bergen and Oslo.
Absolutely perfect and useful
Not a fan of AI. I kinda understand why it could be used, but not really. The AI narrator felt weird. There were 16 stops and like 5-6 supernatural/grim stories, we expected a lot more. Some of the other stops felt more like advertisements (eg. for a restaurant or a cafe). Many of the rest of the stops felt more like viewing points with not much narrating. There were a couple of great stories we did enjoy, but in general we were pretty disappointed.
This was my first self-guided tour. I got to see many lovely spots in Tallin that otherwise I may not have found. I particularly like the fact that you are able to go at your own pace as I often take a long time taking photos.
Excellent overview of Tallinn history and important sites. A great way to experience Tallinn at your own pace.
Tour guide with interesting facts and stories for Tallinn monuments. Well prepared and presented,value for money and surely worth it!
Simple to use and very effective. Made our short trip to Tallinn exciting and informative. We were able to cover various elements across culture, food and of course history ! You can start stop at any point and navigate very easily. We started from the port so change the starting point a bit but was very straightforward .
It was too hard to access this tour. Once purchased, you could not open up a link to the tour. Our link did not appear until the next day when we had already started to walk around the city.
The content and stops were interesting and well chosen, but I didn’t love the app experience compared to other audio tour apps I’ve used that include built-in navigation. The route could’ve been planned a bit better—some stops felt out of order, which led to a bit of unnecessary backtracking and walking in circles. Still, the tour itself had solid information.
Having an itinerary to follow helped us to get around to see so many things we might have skipped on our own. The audio tour descriptions of each stop were excellent. The only difficulty we encountered was finding our way to each stop. Some other audio tours we have used had gps directions built into the app . It was worth the fee to get this tour.
This was an excellent way to hit the key points of interest in old town Tallin. Loved being able to do it at my own pace. The food recommendations were excellent as well. Tour guide commentary was completely clear and interesting.
Very interesting to get some history whilst walking and taking in the sites. Easy to access and use. Clear instructions. Well worth the small cost. A tour to do on the first day of visiting.
Excellent audio-guided tour!!! Very simple app to use. You can do the whole tour at your own pace and with whatever breaks you want!! Explanations and information about the stops are truly interesting!! You are not obligated to rush or to do the stops in the order of presentation; you can customize it based on the place where you are. Excellent value for money!! I would say a fantastic option for visiting the city!! I will definitely use it in other cities if possible. Highly recommended!!!!
Avoid at all costs. The app's GPS crashes all the time. We spent three hours moving forward, retracing our steps, moving forward, retracing our steps ... In the end, very little description for each site visited and at least two of them are only there to make you buy things in shops ...
The route developed along the main streets of the city, stopping at places of historical, traditional, artistic, and culinary interest... A truly beautiful trip
It was a great experience and you could see and experience the city at your own pace, I would recommend!
Inside the Museum of Illusion 2 hours and a half: my two daughters ecstatic!!
The tour had some unnecessary detours. Furthermore, it was completely superfluous and therefore unnecessarily expensive to pay 4 tikets, which caused annoyance. There was no entrance requiring paid access, as suggested in the description. For a person as a guide, it would have been rated good, as points and explanations were not bad.
The experience was very positive. I had the opportunity to listen to different curiosities that are in the city of Tallinn. Very recommended
It would be interesting to guide the way after each stop. It is true that there is a map with points of interest, but it is not known after each stop whether to go left or right. Otherwise, nice experience 👍
Been to nice places where we would not otherwise go, at our own pace and also learned a lot from history, highly recommended.
Money wasted. And also inaccurate explanation. Google can do much better just by framing the various points of interest
Perfect tour... Useful to know the main points of the city and to know some of its curiosities... 👏👏
Very intuitive and easy to use app, well-designed route and easy to follow thanks to the very accurate GPS geolocation. We immersed ourselves in the history of Tallinn and it was great to discover something more about this wonderful city
Great because the app is individually controlled. Would use again anytime. I would be happy to recommend. Have fun with it.
I prefer the walk free tour but, in the absence of one in Spanish on the date I had available, the self-guided tour was very interesting. We gained time, with a practical route and, in about two hours, we were able to pass through the main sights of Tallinn.
After I oriented myself correctly, the audio guide was very helpful. The €7 was a good investment, gladly back in another city
See all the highlights of Tallinn with a simple but interesting explanation without the tour getting heavy
The destinations were well chosen, although there is much more to see in Tallinn. The audio guide was very good as you get a lot of background knowledge, which makes a sight even more attractive. The support to get from one goal to the next could be better and the direct connections between the points does nothing at all. Nevertheless, I can recommend the tour and Tourific.
Excellent proposal. Very pleasant and with interesting facts and reviews. Moreover, the tour is easy to follow.
Very nice way to explore the city autonomously- I liked it! Improvement: it would be nice if the route is better connected to maps and therefore easier to track
Initially, we had problems starting with the app for orientation (does it continue left or right, or do you take the stairs?), but then it went quite well. Nice that you can do this tour at your own pace, so instead of 2 hours, we had made it a cozy 5 hours. There's so much to see.
