Very nice experience with this audio guide quite suitable! the comments are interesting and appropriate. Thank you again!
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’audioguide et ses commentaires. Au plaisir de vous retrouver bientôt pour une nouvelle visite Tourific !
Read the instructions about downloading the audio, photos and map beforehand. We almost made it all the way through the tour stops before our phone battery died. The icon that shows where you are on the map didn’t always work. We loved the hidden Santa Ana church. We couldn’t find the #3 stop but am sure it would have bitten us if it were a snake. Be sure to have some euros to give the bird lady at stop #1 if you are going to have the pigeons eat from your hands.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour, especially discovering the hidden Santa Ana church. We appreciate your helpful tips about downloading everything beforehand, keeping an eye on phone battery, and carrying some euros for the bird lady. Your feedback about the map accuracy and stop #3 is very valuable, and we’ll work on improving these points. We’re delighted you still had a memorable experience and look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon! Best regards, The Tourific Team
