App worked great, just the right amount of information on Montmartre - Perfect amount of information about the history and area of Montmartre, audio/walking tour took about 40 minutes. Was perfect for our group of 3 moms and my 21 year old daughter. Covered all the basics, we all enjoyed it!

I wish I knew about this App earlier - I fell in love with Montmartre with this tour! When I first arrived in Paris, everyone kept talking about experiencing this place and the Sacre Couer, but the my entire experience of the place was redefined through the Vidi Guides App!
The tour takes you completely away from the crowds and along charming little roads and pathways. It starts with the Basilica and then takes you onwards through a mix of the popular as well as the lesser-known bits of this quaint neighbourhood. To lend you context - i ended up discovering a vineyard, a cabaret, a basilica, charming cafes, the Dali Museum, some great places to stop for a bite, and the artistic history of this place as I walked along peaceful cobbled lanes listening to the tour.
i cannot recommend this experience enough. It is safe - you don't get lost, you don't need to worry about "crowds and hygiene", it is independent, and it is fun!

AWEFUL - Awful 10 out of 10 would not recommend, trying to figure out what to do where to go, the coordinates that they sent us two was not where the tour started. It was at the end, actually of where the tour started, and to find the instructions on how to get the app and tour downloaded was literally a disaster..
