I was surprised by how enjoyable and entertaining the tour was and above all, with lots of valuable information. I recommend it.
Maybe try chatGPT instead

I'm not sure if it's just me, but both my guest and I felt like the concept of this tour was great but the execution was middling at best. It was nice to see the sites of Rennes, but there was maybe a maximum of 15 minutes of actual content to listen to, most of which was very repetitive and vague. It felt like the actual guide content had been written mostly by AI, using many of the tropes that those programs use to sound intelligent. However, chatGPT is free and this was not. I think you'd at least save some money by using an LLM instead.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re really sorry the tour in Rennes didn’t feel as engaging or detailed as you hoped. Your comment is fair, we’ll take another look at the content to make sure it offers more depth and less repetition. All our stories are written by real people who know the cities pretty well, but we clearly missed the mark this time, we've shared your feedback to Fabio, who currently lives in Rennes. Thanks for the honest feedback, it truly helps us improve for the next travelers.
Interesting and Fun!
