The Porta Nigra is a well-preserved Roman city gate from the 2nd century AD. It originally served as a defensive structure and is made of massive stone blocks. Today, it is an important historical landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Hauptmarkt in Trier is the central square of the city and one of the oldest market places in Germany.

The Hauptmarkt is a vibrant hub of activity, featuring regular markets, events, and outdoor cafés.
The Cathedral of Saint Peter in Trier, commonly known as Trier Cathedral, is the oldest cathedral in Germany. Built in Romanesque style, the cathedral's construction began in the 4th century under the Roman Emperor Constantine. It has been expanded and renovated over the centuries, resulting in a mix of architectural styles. Trier Cathedral is renowned for its impressive size, stunning interior, and significant relics, including the Holy Robe, which is believed to be the tunic worn by Jesus Christ. The cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a major pilgrimage destination.
The Karl Marx House in Trier is the birthplace and childhood home of the philosopher and revolutionary socialist Karl Marx. It has been converted into a museum dedicated to his life, work, and legacy. The museum showcases original documents, photographs, and exhibits that detail Marx's contributions to political theory, his influence on the socialist movement, and the historical context of his time. The Karl Marx House is a popular destination for those interested in Marx's ideas and the history of 19th-century Europe.
The Basilica of Constantine, also known as the Aula Palatina, is a Roman palace basilica built in the early 4th century during the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great. Located in Trier, Germany, it served as the emperor's audience hall and was part of a larger palace complex. The building is notable for its impressive size, with a vast rectangular hall featuring a high, flat wooden ceiling. The basilica's architectural style is characterized by its simplicity and grandeur, reflecting Roman imperial power. Today, it is used as a Protestant church and remains one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture in the region.

A decent walking tour. We were in town for a few hours and wanted to hit some highlights. The nice thing is the app helps guide you from any starting point, but this cost is a bit much.
Audio tour was interesting but a bit long especially on a rainy day!
I could not figure out how to open and use this app to save my life! I am completely disgusted. I would like my money back. I have booked a tour with a human today separately
I'm checked your booking. You received an email with instructions in the same minute you made the booking. I checked and the message was sent and received.... You are leaving us a 1 start review for a tour you didn't experience? Why not reach out for help? We would have loved to help you out. Please get in touch with us.
The narration will not start until you enter each area of interest. If you detour from the route it’s easy to find your way back to where you detoured. I highly recommend this city walking tour! There were points of interest I would have missed without it, like the Three Kings House! If you want to tour the museum and Karl Marx house you should allow yourself a full day.
Great tour of Trier with good explanation and explanation of the sights. Nice to do at your own pace.
1) Sloppy AI translation from English: There is no Meatstreet in Trier and no Lower Castle. You “enjoy” “bathing pleasures” and “organize” “events” in the spas. It doesn't even take a Germanist to correct it. 2) Some waypoints consist only of numbers , no audio, no text. At the artisan fountain, for example: „36“. Ready! 3.) We booked the “duo” as a couple. However, the discount to 2xSingle was *not a discount*, but a *performance reduction*: With this tariff, both smartphones may not be separated. Once, when I separated from my wife for a few minutes, it stopped working for her. What are you doing? If you have to stay together, you can also listen to a smartphone in pairs! 4) Why then in the evaluation two and not just one point: I must praise the Service: I didn't find the 6-digit code right away, called and a friendly young lady could help me immediately. Thank you!
I couldn't get the application. It was complicated to get the code to open the app. I'm sorry, because I had great expectations to know better the place I was visiting
Lamento que não tenha desfrutado do nosso belo tour em Trier e das histórias que o acompanham. No dia da sua reserva, recebeu uma mensagem com as instruções e o código. Creio que não a viu. Se tivesse entrado em contacto connosco, teríamos tido todo o gosto em ajudá-lo. Dá o mesmo trabalho que deixar uma avaliação negativa (para um tour que não chegou a fazer...).
Good way to meet Trier, In about 4h. quietly. Brief and concise explanations of each place you visit. Pleasant experience, I would repeat.
Nice and interesting walk through the city. The information was sufficient to get a good idea of the city and its history
Dankjewel voor de mooie beoordeling Mark, graag tot een volgende stad via CityAppTour!
Small town very pleasant to walk around and which contains lots of beautiful monuments: the porta Nigra, the best preserved gate of the ancient world, the cathedral which, alone, groups almost all European architectural styles since antiquity and the Hauptmarkt Square which resembles the place of a doll village with its houses with colorful facades, its baroque fountain and all the displays of flowers, fruits and vegetables....
