Irene was a positive guide. Knowledgeable, funny, occasionally a bit hard to understand
The tour passes the main sights of Santiago and the information is also largely interesting. However, since the Führer is only virtual, it is difficult to know what is being said, especially when describing facade elements in detail. No one points their hand at the described element. It would also be better if the stories were spoken (or read aloud) by a native speaker. Some passages were sometimes difficult to understand due to the pronunciation.
Hallo, Es tut mir leid, dass Sie mit Ihrer Erfahrung unzufrieden waren. Bitte beachten Sie, dass ich Google Translate verwende, um diese Nachricht zu schreiben. Obwohl es sich um eine Audiotour handelt, ist sie speziell für die Durchführung vor Ort konzipiert, weshalb Sie wahrscheinlich das Gefühl hatten, einige Details zu verpassen. Wir empfehlen, diese und alle unsere Touren vor Ort durchzuführen. Es tut mir leid, dass Sie nicht das gesamte Tourerlebnis genießen konnten, zumal diese Tour oft gute Bewertungen erhält. Beste Grüße, Helene
I bought this tour for 4 persons. Unfortunately only one of us was able to listen to the entire tour, top-to-bottom. For me for instance, it got stuck at the second "page" so to speak; the uploading of the pictures was a nightmare as well. So we had to maximize the volume and all listen to the same presentation, which was not pleasant or useful at all.
Hi there, I'm sorry for your frustrating experience. Were all four people travelling with you able to redeem the voucher code on their devices? It isn't clear from your review whether the issue was that not all of you could redeem the tour, or if four of you redeemed the tour and only one was able to use it from start to finish. This sounds very unusual, and I'd like to understand why this didn't work for you and your travelling companions. Please could you send more information to support@voicemap.me so that we can look into what happened here. Again, I'm sorry for the frustrating experience.
It gave me adequate information about Santiago de Compostela at my own time and at my own pace. I am not rushing around and was able to really take in the site
