Overall good with great information, but the location function was very inaccurate and at times Google had to be used in parallel. Additionally, I initially had difficulties starting the tour / did not know which app was additionally needed for it...
Just like before, didn't regret choosing the audio guide from these guys. It went beyond city history and facts about famous composers, showing places in the city that you'd likely never know about. But the main vibe is still the same as you would expect from the beautiful Vienna.
Loved that we could accomplish this over 2 days and that everyone was able to move at the pace best for them. Got to cover so many sights!
The time is quite sporty. If you want to look on the side , please schedule half a day.
Super Activity thanks to a quality guide who knows how to combine history with the functioning of the present times
Worked very well. Very informative and a pleasant voice.
Awesome way to see the city on your own time. You can stop and start whenever you want and walking directions were very clear. Make sure you follow the directions to download the tour for best results. Cons are that there is no ability to ask questions and get local tid bits of info like you can with a live guide
We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Vienna at your own pace! You’re absolutely right — an audio guide can’t chat back like a live guide (we’re still working on teaching it small talk over coffee ☕😄), but we do our best to include those little stories and local insights along the way. We hope you’ll choose TouringBee audio guides again on your future travels and keep discovering new cities in your own style!
I wanted to enjoy Vienna at my own pace and be able to stop and start where I felt like. I found this tour very informative but didn't overload me with information. It took me about 2.5hrs to complete in total. It included a mixture of historical sites but also culturally significant ones.
We’re delighted that you enjoyed exploring Vienna at your own pace! 😊 It’s great to hear that the tour felt informative without being overwhelming and that the mix of historical and culturally significant places made the walk engaging. That balance is exactly what we aim for with TouringBee audioguides — giving you the freedom to stop, explore, and continue whenever you like. We hope you’ll choose TouringBee again on your future travels and discover many more cities the same way.
Perfectly nice walk , because you can decide for yourself what you want to watch a little longer or still want to stop and continue the next day. Ideal. Nicely explained!
Had to restart the app every stop as it didn’t know where we were. No directions included in the commentary. Gave up after 12 stops. Rubbish especially when compared to other apps I have used.
