We usually book a guide during our getaways. I could not find a guide for our weekend at the times that suited us, so I decided to try this audio guide. We really enjoyed the experience; certainly, we cannot ask questions, but the content satisfied us. We ultimately took the whole day to complete all the stops because, at the various points of interest, we took the opportunity to shop and stroll around... We were able to do it at our own pace, which was very pleasant. I therefore recommend this audio guide to those who do not wish to be in a (very) large group with a guide and who want to go at their own pace, enjoying each place at their convenience.
This was a great audio tour. It allowed us to see Bruge over a couple of days at our own pace and dodge the rain.
This is a good walking tour. It is long, so be prepared to walk a ways. Viator sends you to another company who actually provides the tour and then it tells you that you must download before you go. You must have wifi access to download the tour, so you cannot do it on the spur of the moment. Otherwise the rtour provides what they say they will. It is fairly easy to navigate the directions and each place has a description. If you are on a budget, this is a good way to see Bruges.
We thought the guide was great, easy to follow, and allowed us to experience Bruge on our own schedule.
The mapping function does not work on Verizon. The narrator gives nonessential info, possibly product placement over historical fact
Easy to download as long as you download the TouringBee app first. Audio is good and you can go at your own pace.
Great to hear everything was easy to set up and that the audio worked well for you! Being able to explore Bruges at your own pace is exactly what TouringBee audio guides are made for. We hope TouringBee will join you again on your future travels and city walks.
