Great surprise
MrTerneras, Sept 2025
My first self guided tour, nice discovery. I love human contact but last week in Nuremberg I've joined a walking tour where two people were smoking around all the time killing the magic. I liked the freedom I had sto start, stop and restart again anytime I wanted. I will try it again tomorrow in Augsburg :)
Excellent ...

Yelena_Z, Jun 2025
I had exactly two hours in Bamberg (which I highly recommend) so I had to make the most of my time. Instead of taking a formal tour and fearing missing my ride, I opted for this self-guided tour. It was easy, the audio history really flavored the experience, the quizzes were fun and helped reinforce the key features, and I could go at my own pace. I gave four stars because I wish you could do the stops out of order. If you could do that, it would be 5-star all the way.
