Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to listen to and enjoy the entire audio guide. Nevertheless, it can be recommended without reservation, especially since in our case there was no longer an opportunity to book a personal tour.
Content of the tour is good but the app is glitchy and ruins the experience. It kept blanking and I had to interrupt the tour a dozen times to refresh the app. Dont get the point of downloading the tour for offline use if the app isn’t going to work anyway.
Clear, non-boring explanation, the person who speaks to a beautiful intonation. A beautiful experience, which I will repeat
Merci beaucoup pour ce retour si positif ! Nous sommes ravis que les explications claires, le ton agréable de la narration et l’expérience globale vous aient plu. C’est exactement l’esprit que TouringBee souhaite offrir : une découverte vivante et plaisante, sans ennui. Nous espérons que TouringBee vous accompagnera à nouveau lors de vos prochaines escapades et que vous renouvellerez cette belle expérience ailleurs 🌍✨
Easy to use. Good descriptions. Using geolocation is necessary. Long pleasant walk.
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la visite ! Nous espérons que vous choisirez à nouveau les audioguides TouringBee lors de vos futurs voyages — et peut-être nous attribuerez-vous une note encore plus élevée la prochaine fois.
The directions are quite difficult to follow as the maps do not have road names. ???????????????????
We are sorry that you had difficulty navigating the route. Here are some important points about the TouringBee app that may help: Our maps display street names — if you cannot see them, try zooming in or out a little, and the labels will reappear. Please check that the app has access to your location (GPS) — this improves the accuracy and correctness of the blue dot's synchronisation with your actual position. We hope that you will try other TouringBee audio guides in the future and perhaps give us your highest rating.
Great choice for a half-day in Dublin.Mixed food stops with main sights—ideal before business meetings of next day. Loved that it’s not just history but also food tips. Super handy audioguide and good solution for quick city tour
Thank you for your 5-star review! 🌟 We’re thrilled that the TouringBee audioguide in Dublin helped you enjoy both sights and food tips at your own pace. We look forward to accompanying you again with our audioguides in other cities and countries!
You have to download the Touring Bee app first!!! I’m from the US and I could not join the tour without downloading this app first. Once I navigated the entire system, which took about 30 minutes, the tour was great. Very informative about each stop on the walking route. Very entertaining as well. I loved it once the initial frustration of actually getting into the tour subsided. I would recommend this to other people. So many times we walk around historic cities and don’t get to fully understand the things we are seeing and this is a great way to learn. I will be trying it in other cities around the world as there are many to choose from. Wear comfortable shoes, carry a backpack with extra gear as the weather In Dublin changes rapidly. And if you need a break you just pause the app and return anytime during your 24 hour time frame. It was a great experience.
We are glad that you enjoyed the stories and flexibility of the audio guide after the initial setup. Our audio guide can be used multiple times, at any time, on any day, for 1 year from the date of purchase, so you can spread your walk over several days if you wish. Your practical advice on footwear, weather and pausing the tour will be very useful for other travellers. We hope that your next trip with TouringBee will be even smoother and deserve a full 5 stars.
Great sightseeing tour. I couldn't activate the GPS to be guided more easily but for the rest, it's simple. I'll use the app on our next trip. We can go at any pace we want.
L’audioguide TouringBee vous a permis de découvrir la ville à votre rythme, ce qui nous fait plaisir. Nous espérons qu’à votre prochain voyage l’expérience sera encore plus fluide et que vous pourrez nous accorder 5 étoiles.
Fun way to explore the city at your own pace. I found going to the spots a little out of order worked best. In between stops I’d visit other sites not on their audio tour. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed the flexibility! That’s the beauty of a self-guided tour — you can mix in your own discoveries along the way. Thanks for the kind words, and hope you take us along for your next adventure too!
Tony gave us a great and in depth tour of the Sagrada Família it was amazing!! Tony was very knowledgeable and it definitely took the experience to the next level!
