Difficult to use
MarieClaude_P, Aug 2025
It's hard to know where we are in the city. Not very intuitive. In the end we didn’t use it.
Good value

the self guide started very easily but it was a little hard to understand the system of navigation from one place to the next. But once you do it is easy to follow
Not recommended

Unfortunately, I did not get access data for the audio tour. Reply Emails were not answered. That means I paid and got nothing in return. It's really annoying.
