Onec we managed to get the correct app loaded it was areally good self passed tour with the commentary starting as you reached the appropriate location. Our frustration was that the email that fully described the loading process did not arrive for 2 hours. By this time we had almost given up.
It's been so amazing having fun with family and friends away from home. Such a beautiful feeling. I can't wait for the next one.
Old town Nice is beautiful, and easily seen using the audio tour guide. One of our favourite stops of the cruise. Difficult to make it work well unless you go to the exact starting point.
Easy to follow stop and start Info provided very interesting. As said you find parts of the old town you wouldn't otherwise see
