Individual city tour without stress - Get to know all interesting places. It all worked out well and you could be on the road individually. Good for those who do not like to travel in groups and want to take their time.

Informal, relaxed but informative and funny - Great tour, we could do it in our own time spending more time in some places and less in others depending on what we were interested in. There were some hidden gems along the way which we thoroughly enjoyed! If you want a tour, without other tourists this is for you.

Bologna visit with audio guide - Cool experience! We loved that option to know new things and feeling free to follow our proper pace to visit the city. Even my friend who lives in Bologna since 2003 enjoyed it.

Great tour! - Perfect tour to do alone! Saw all the highlights and got great info on the city and its history! Got a little turned around but that was probably user error! Worked really well with our Bluetooth headphones! Definitely worth the money!

Audio guide? Yes, good choice! - I started the city tour by myself listening to the interesting audio guide. Then I met my friends and compared our experiences...they decided to continue the visit with me because they were interested in the stories I told them after hearing the audio guide

Enjoyed the walking tour! - My wife and I decided to try the walking tour given our schedule and relatively short stay in Bologna. We enjoyed the rather “light” informational details and the easy to use links w Google maps. Could have used a bit more detail for some of the bigger locations.

Bologna passeggiata - Made it easy to find the different places and the history was told in a informative and easy understandable way. The App was easy to use. I also liked that there was both Audio and written information.

Superficial with annoying AI voice - Average at best, very surface level information, nothing more than a quick google search will give you. Also annoyingly the English version is voiced with AI with a southern American accent, including the names of the sites. Would not recommend.

Not great - We downloaded the Bologna walking tour yesterday. It is true, this is a walking tour. It gives you directions to major sites, and those directions are correct. However, the narrator for the English tour in Bologna definitely sounds AI generated, and the information has no historical depth whatsoever. We abandoned the tour after the first couple of stops. I wouldn’t waste your money on this one.
