A Must for Art Lovers and Wanderers Alike - Whether you’re a fan of Van Gogh or just enjoy exploring with purpose, this tour hits the mark. I learned so much without it ever feeling like a lecture. The narration felt personal, not robotic. It transformed Arles into a living canvas, and I was walking right through it.

Quiet Moments in Van Gogh’s Footsteps - This wasn’t just about seeing sights—it was about feeling them. I sat in the same spots Van Gogh painted and just took it in. The app encouraged pauses, reflection, and even invited me to slow down. That stillness made the whole day feel more meaningful.

Easy, Enriching, and Thoughtfully Designed - As someone who gets overwhelmed by big group tours, this was perfect. The app guided me clearly and gave just enough context without being overwhelming. It felt like I had a private art historian in my ear. I even stopped to sketch near the river. Pure magic.

Great info on Van Gogh - I appreciated that we could walk at our own pace, stop to see sites on our own and then move along. We could also skip sites if we were tired (it was an extremely hot day- 97 degrees!). The walk was accessible and the voice guided tour was easy to follow. I appreciated being able to download the app and the directions so as not to tax my "roaming" and data on the phone.

Inspiring and Peaceful Experience - I’ve always admired Van Gogh, but this tour made me see him differently. Standing in the very places he painted gave me a whole new emotional connection to his art. I did the tour early in the morning and had most spots to myself—absolutely serene. A perfect solo adventure.

A Must-Do in Arles! - This tour gave me a completely different appreciation for the city. Seeing the real places behind Van Gogh’s masterpieces was amazing, and the app’s narration added depth without feeling like a lecture. It’s also great that you can do it at your own rhythm—no rushing, no crowds. Just you and Arles.

A Peaceful, Inspiring Stroll Through History - This self-guided tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Arles. It let me explore at my own pace and really soak in the atmosphere. The app told stories not just about Van Gogh, but about the history and charm of the city itself. I felt transported. Highly recommend for anyone interested in art and culture!

Van Gogh’s Arles Comes Alive - I absolutely loved this tour! Being able to walk the same streets Van Gogh once did was surreal. The app was super easy to use, even offline, and the commentary was both informative and emotional. I paused often just to take it all in. A beautiful experience that made me appreciate his art even more.

Very good self-guided tour - I think the app works very well. The content is also quite good as my tour interspersed details of the ancient city with the city (Arles, Fr) that Van Gogh found when he arrived in 1888. It was easy to use, informative and found €10, a deal.

Arles/Van Gogh - The map and directions were not always accurate. We had difficulty finding several locations. In addition it was not stated that many of the locations had entry fees. The narrator did not seem to know how to pronounce Arles-he had several variations.
