Loved the Paintings-to-Places Connections - Seeing how the city inspired Van Gogh’s most famous works was magical. The app did a great job linking his paintings with the real places we walked through.

Nice Alternative to a Guided Group - I prefer exploring alone, so this was perfect. I could pause for a coffee or photos while still enjoying the stories of Van Gogh’s Arles years.

Emotional and Moving - Standing in front of the hospital garden and listening to the story of Van Gogh’s time there gave me goosebumps. The app’s commentary added depth without overwhelming detail.

Walking in Van Gogh’s Footsteps - The app guided me to places where Van Gogh lived and painted, and it was surreal to stand where his canvases came alive. The stories blended art and history beautifully, making the walk both emotional and informative.

Surprisingly Emotional Experience - I teared up listening to some of the stories. Maybe it was the setting sun over the Rhône, maybe it was Van Gogh’s words—but it hit me hard in the best way. This tour gave me more than facts; it gave me a connection I didn’t know I needed.

App update a problem - App tried to update in the middle of the tour. No WiFi and could not update so app was not useable. I have asked for a refund.

Dont! Go to tourit information instead. - All in all, the guided tour was a complete and utter waste of time. I understand that everything is personal, but it didn’t start well when the commentator couldn’t pronounce the name of the town we were in or even the name of the world-famous artist whose commentary it was about. He managed two different attempts before I gave up. The tour was not much about Van Gogh and more about making pointless remarks about landmarks, such as commenting on a castle’s thick walls, which raises questions about the guide's point. Save yourself the money and visit the tourist information, which will provide you with a very nice map that directs you to notices about van Gogh and his works.
