Good for people interested in paranormal - Very easy to follow the stories they tell you, they are also really well told and creepy. 100% recommend to try if you love ghosts.

A fun, simple and unique way to do a walking tour - Guys this is EXACTLY what you expect - a self-guided ghost tour. I can't believe the other person rated this poorly because they don't know how to read. It is quite fun and unique. I took my girlfriend on it because I didn't want to do the boring normal walking tour, I wanted something with a little more pizazz. What could be better (AKA advice for the creator) is: work on your Spanish pronunciation, it made us giggle. Make sure you use inflection at the right parts - your voice put emphasis on some random moments which also made us giggle. Develop the stories a bit more - I particularly liked the story of the 7 chimneys because it was believable, informative and interesting. And finally, if you really want to instill terror into your audience, ditch the made up footage/recordings - I can't suspend my belief that much.

Probably the best I've done so far - The experience itself was very interesting, well paced and yes, some parts were quite scary because of the well scripted storytelling. Intuitive app and excellent customer service.

Brief, forgettable, not scary - Lkrs soundwalkr: ghosts of madrid this is one of the first ghost tours I have done of this kind. the format was that I purchased it on TripAdvisor and I was given a code which I entered into an app called soundwalkr. to speak on the app interface briefly, I appreciate it how when I reached a certain destination the next section of the audio automatically began playing. that was really cool. however I encountered more difficulty with the app than good fortune. at one point the app forgot that I had entered in a code and so it now required me to re-enter my purchase code. this proved to be a major glitch because I was in a location without Wi-Fi so I could not easily access the purchase code. eventually I was able to get a Wi-Fi signal and then I was able to reconnect with TripAdvisor to get my code and re-enter it into the app. but this bug pause my tour for at least 10 minutes right in the middle of it and was a major frustration point for everyone in my group. the tour itself included six brief stories at six different locations each narrated in a simple five to seven minute audio file. the audio files were extremely well produced with high quality sound effects and background music. the voice was in English and quite clear. the stories themselves were quite lackluster. given an audio file of maybe 5 minutes or so, the majority of each audio file was waiting and creepy sound effects. the actual Story Probably amounted to maybe 2 minutes or so. extremely brief in my experience. I found they often lack the creepy factor that would cause me to get tingles on the spine. and writing this review a day later I must admit that there are none I can recall. overall the narratives are what I come for on these sorts of Tours and so the story quality alone has significantly sunk my rating for this experience. ultimately I would not recommend this experience at this time. I definitely think $10 is and excessive price per person however it is quite fair in this case considering I was able to download it only on my device and then play it aloud for everyone in my party. technical issues aside, the content of this store does not justify the time it takes to listen to it. I would advise you pursue other experiences.
