Simple, easy guide to follow at your own pace. - A simple and effective audio tour with clear narration and some interesting facts. I like the self-pacing. I expected it to start automatically when we reached a point (other apps do this) it I had to press play each time which was annoying as it was very cold and I had to take my glove off, so I ended up feeling very cold overall!

Fantastic. - We wanted to better understand the history of Buda district and so I took this audio guide that made us discover places and places that we would otherwise never have looked at. Really great experience.

Tour with audio guide in Buda - A great solution to get around Buda and learn about its iconic places. Lots of information and curiosities. You can hear it with headphones (remember to bring them!) or on speakerphone.

Better than I expected - It was like walking around with a knowledgeable friend - great experience. I was worried that the guide would be sounded and written by AI. It wasn’t. I heard a real human voice that was pleasant to the ear, all with natural pauses and intonation. And the information was sometimes unexpected, sometimes funny (Had no idea I would encounter Dracula places in Buda! ) Definitely there is a human touch in the product. The app is easy to use, I had no difficulty with downloading the audio guide

Interesting - Well made and simple to use audio guide. Many interesting information about the various monuments present. At the time of purchase it was not clear if the inputs were included and the information received was initially inaccurate. It is necessary to specify better that the visit of the interior of the castle and the church is not planned.

Disappointing - No no no no. This was a terrible experience. First on me because I usually get the tickets and go. I didn’t realize until trying to find a ticket or information office that this “experience “ is booked through a 3rd party app. You have to download the app for the audio play. With all the walking we did to try and find the “entrance” I was furious to have been so ill prepared. Next time guided tour.

Very very poor - This was not a good experience, we did manage ge to locate the starting point of Vienna Gate. Sign posts to the location were non existent. We tried thr link we were given to the app for help but it did not recognise our booking reference so we never .managed to use the walking audio guide. It was a waste of money!
