The tour is interesting and informative. However, perhaps because of some narrow streets lined with tall buildings, the geolocation was sometimes average, which interfered with the experience, and my spouse had downloading problems (his fault, not the app’s), which stressed us a little. As it was the first time we used the app it took a bit of time to get acquainted with how it works, and you have to plan that the battery of the phone will run out as it goes. A real guided tour would have been more relaxing, but given the little offer it was still good.

Great way to explore a new city. The audio was clear and the timing and pace were perfect. Really got a great sense of the history of Genoa.
A good tour for an excellent price. I didn't realize that a group could use the same code/purchase so we each paid. It takes a while to download the app but was straightforward. Overall it was an interesting tour.
Take the tour , but walk a little slower than you think you need so you keep on track with the attractions
