The exploration tour was a good mix between informative, exciting and also fun. Of course, there are also some things that are not so interesting. But the exciting one prevails.
Vielen Dank für Ihr tolles Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour rund um Buda Castle gefallen hat und Sie die Mischung aus informativ, spannend und auch ein bisschen humorvoll erlebt haben 😊 Genau so soll ein Audioguide von TouringBee sein — abwechslungsreich und unterhaltsam, auch wenn nicht jeder Punkt gleich spannend ist. Wir hoffen, dass Sie auch bei Ihren nächsten Reisen wieder TouringBee Audioguides wählen und noch viele weitere Städte auf diese angenehme Art entdecken!
A simple and effective audio tour with clear narration and some interesting facts. I like the self-pacing. I expected it to start automatically when we reached a point (other apps do this) it I had to press play each time which was annoying as it was very cold and I had to take my glove off, so I ended up feeling very cold overall!
Thank you for your kind words about the walk around Buda Castle! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the clear narration, interesting facts, and the freedom to explore at your own pace with TouringBee. We're sorry the weather wasn't the most comfortable for the walk and you were cold. We hope you’ll choose TouringBee audio guides again on your future travels and enjoy discovering new destinations, maybe next time in warmer weather! ☀️
We wanted to better understand the history of Buda district and so I took this audio guide that made us discover places and places that we would otherwise never have looked at. Really great experience.
Siamo felici che l’audioguida vi abbia aiutato a scoprire la storia e gli angoli nascosti del quartiere di Castello di Buda, proprio questo è l’obiettivo delle audioguide TouringBee 😊 Ci auguriamo di accompagnarvi ancora con TouringBee nelle vostre prossime avventure e che possiate scegliere le nostre audioguide anche in altre città.
Great route and clear, concise audio guide, easy to pause and restart at will
Un piacere leggere il tuo commento!

Ci auguriamo di accompagnarti di nuovo con TouringBee in una delle tue prossime avventure, magari in un’altra città tutta da esplorare con la stessa libertà.
A great solution to get around Buda and learn about its iconic places. Lots of information and curiosities. You can hear it with headphones (remember to bring them!) or on speakerphone.
Siamo felici che questa soluzione ti sia sembrata ideale per scoprire Buda e i suoi luoghi iconici 😊 Le curiosità e le storie lungo il percorso sono pensate proprio per rendere la passeggiata più viva e memorabile. Ci fa piacere sapere che l’audioguida di TouringBee ti abbia accompagnato così bene: speriamo di essere di nuovo al tuo fianco nelle prossime scoperte, in un’altra città o magari proprio a Budapest, vista da una nuova prospettiva.
No no no no. This was a terrible experience. First on me because I usually get the tickets and go. I didn’t realize until trying to find a ticket or information office that this “experience “ is booked through a 3rd party app. You have to download the app for the audio play. With all the walking we did to try and find the “entrance” I was furious to have been so ill prepared. Next time guided tour.
We understand you — when you expect a “ticket and admission,“ but get a “surprise with an app,“ emotions can run high. You're right about one thing: it's not really a ticket or an offline guide, but a TouringBee audio tour that lives in your smartphone and accompanies you on your walk, rather than leading you by the hand to the ticket office. If you decide to give the audio guide a second chance (after preparing yourself mentally 😄), it won't run away, be late, or lead a crowd behind it — just you, the city, and the stories. In any case, we hope that your next trips with TouringBee will begin without the phrase “No no no no“ and end with a smile 🙂
It was like walking around with a knowledgeable friend - great experience. I was worried that the guide would be sounded and written by AI. It wasn’t. I heard a real human voice that was pleasant to the ear, all with natural pauses and intonation. And the information was sometimes unexpected, sometimes funny (Had no idea I would encounter Dracula places in Buda! ) Definitely there is a human touch in the product. The app is easy to use, I had no difficulty with downloading the audio guide
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback!

It’s great to hear that the narration, tone, and pacing felt natural and engaging, and that the unexpected and humorous details added to the experience. We’re also happy the app was easy to use and that downloading the guide went smoothly — freedom and simplicity are a big part of what makes TouringBee special. We hope TouringBee will join you again on your future travels, helping you uncover new stories and surprising connections in cities around the world.

This was not a good experience, we did manage ge to locate the starting point of Vienna Gate. Sign posts to the location were non existent. We tried thr link we were given to the app for help but it did not recognise our booking reference so we never .managed to use the walking audio guide. It was a waste of money!
We regret your experience. Please contact us at support@touringbee.com, and we will help you activate the audio guide. The audio guide can still be used for 1 year from the date of purchase.
