Excellent Overview. - Really easy to use overview of the City on our first day. The app was quick to use and allowed for a lot of flexibility. Going at our own pace was a breeze.

Awesome!! - Great!!!! We were able to enjoy 200% of our day in Taormina, no time wasted or unpleasant surprise everything is explained with the times and possible prices. We skipped 3 sites a little further (20-25 min walk from the city center) but reading all the explanations and taking our time in the different places to visit we took 3h30. all tourist cities should offer this kind of visit is great because we are fully autonomous. Plan a well-charged phone to make sure you have enough battery for the day.

I recommend 200% - Great! We were able to visit Taormina in the best possible conditions thanks to the audio guide. You did not visit everything because 3 places are a little far on foot (20-25 min) but taking our time and reading all the reviews we still took 3h30 without visiting the ancient theater. We have learned a lot, I recommend 200%, all tourist cities should offer this kind of tour

The best self guided walking tour - This was an excellent tour that we downloaded to our phones. It clearly explained the history and features of all the included sites. We did not have to guess what we were looking at as we walked around Taormina. It also included a link that provided instructions on how to get to the next site on the itinerary. There was no need to go to a mapping app. You did not have to go in the order it was organized. Well worth the cost. It was also incredibly helpful for my wife who is hard of hearing and has trouble hearing tour guides in group settings. Hopefully Matteo will develop tours in other cities as this was a fantastic experience.

A great activity to do at your own pace - A great introduction to Taormina for you to get your bearings and not miss some key places. The guide on the phone with the map was easy to use. The best thing was you could go at your own pace. So when walking from place to place it didn’t matter if you got distracted by something and ended up down a different little lane which believe me you will. We took our time stopping for lunch midway through and picked it up later. Doing this was so much better than an organised tour where you generally are rushed and don’t get a chance to really take it all in.

A very convenient way to discover the city - Touring the city using Taormina Walking tour is a very good way to ensure you do not miss anything important. all informations are clear and to the point. It is all online and I took the written version, expecting some sort of document being provided at one point. Written means you read you phone, not a paper document and for someone like me who likes to walk away with something to hold on and remember the experience it is a bit frustrating. Despite this personal sensation, everything worked very smoothly and I walked away happy I seemed to not having missed anything important, Thanks a lot!

Make sure your internet works - OMG we never got connected to internet in Taormina. Connections kept cutting in & out especially at 1st stop. I contacted operator for assistance changed browser as instructed & still no connection. We ended up figuring out itinerary on our own without audio or digital copy. Check internet connection before purchasing. I know it is inexpensive but we were really looking forward to at least getting some history about each site. Very disappointing. I even tried Viator helpline for assistance.

Disappointment in Taormina. - It should be made clear travelers will use their phones for the tour and not a different audio device. My husband's phone had been stolen and mine is old and doesn't work well enough. We don't understand why there was any meeting place if the tour was audio on a device with no guide. We were told by Viator to meet at a certain place to check in and no one was there. We looked for almost 30 minutes to find someone to help. The only good thing was I had a credit so it didn't cost more that 1 euro. This was a waste of time. We were very disappointed we didn't have information to make our walk in Taormina better. I am very disappointed in this purchase through Viator.
