Great! Inexpensive, flexible audio tour - You get a link to an app which guides you from site to site via google maps and you press the audio tour once there. It works well and you can stop to eat, shop, or chill, or skip and go out of order. Flexible app to utilize at your own pace and you can ditch the expens tour guides. I can't wait to use it in other cities!

Como highlights - Love the tour at your own pace tours. Matteo does outstanding job giving history lesson and recommendations for meals and other sites to explore beyond the tour sites. The one thing in today’s tour, our party could not find that darn frog at the Duomo, lol. Other than that everything thing went really smooth. Thank you Matteo.

Great walking audio tour! - The audio tour is a link to an easy to use phone app. You can listen through your phone or your own earbuds. There is a GPS link that directs you from one site to the next. You can pause it to eat, shop, or skip around at your own pace. It's an informative and flexible way to see Como without paying an expensive tour guide. Looking forward to using it again for other cities!

A great way to see the sights! - Unfortunately the weather was poor but the walking app was excellent. Easy to use and informative. There is actually not a lot to see in Como but the app guided us around all the places of interest whilst on a pleasant walk. I would certainly use this again in another City

Good intro to Como and a great value for the price - Walking Cap's audio walking tour is a great value and an easy way to see and learn about the highlights in Como. It is a web app, well-organized with a clear table of contents and overview. We had no technical difficulties at all--the instructions were clear and the guide was generally easy to follow. There were plenty of interesting historical details in the tour that we wouldn't have known from just walking around on our own. The audio portion is a computer-synthesized voice that reads the same text that's in the app--we found it somewhat robotic and less pleasant to listen to than a recording of a human voice would have been, but on the other hand, not having to download huge audio files makes the web app load much more quickly. (Hint: if you're doing the tour with one other person, bring two sets of earbuds and pair both sets with your phone; it's much easier to listen that way than using your phone's speaker on a noisy street.) The audio stream would also get interrupted if we left the web app on either phone--for example, to take a photo--which was a little annoying. There were a couple of "side destinations" where the text had you "click here" to get to--so they didn't have Google Maps walking directions to find them like the main destinations did, which made using those a little awkward, but manageable. But overall, this tour is an incredible value for the price, far less expensive than an in-person tour, while covering basically the same sights.

Great little guide - This guide had good information about points of interest in Como, organised in a fairly good way to allow you to spend an afternoon or morning seeing them. I didn’t really get why it started at the train station, as the history and background could’ve been delivered anywhere. But I saw things I would not have without it, and found it a helpful way to explore. Como was very beautiful in the autumn, and I’d highly recommend a visit.

Walking tour for very interested - Very exciting and detailed information! But if you want to take it easier, you are somewhat overwhelmed by this abundance.
