They wouldn't let me in saying it was already closed and the booking said the audio guide could be used at any time
Hola, Puedes escuchar la visita guiada en cualquier momento, pero te recomendamos consultar los horarios de apertura antes de ir al punto de partida para evitar decepciones. Saludos cordiales, Alicia
We have never been able to make the application work! Very simple to pay for, but after an ordeal to start the audio guide. I strongly advise against it. We paid for nothing.

Not user friendly to download tour Never was able to use tour. Couldn’t get help. Very confusing about adding a service

We are contactable by both telephone and email, so if you have technical difficulties, please reach out to us so we can identify what is going wrong.

Loved this quirky self-guided tour! It took me to a number of "out of the way" and unexpected spots that I found easily with the combination of audio instructions and the interactive map tool. Best part of the "one hour" tour (that lasted well over two for me) was that it didn't rush me - I could stop and look at other monuments, or even stray considerably off the path, and the audio didn't re-start until I was close to my designated destination. Brilliant!
Doesn’t include the most significant graves that I would have liked to see…maybe include a more detailed description of which are part of each tour so guests can choose the one for them.
Hi there, I'm sorry that the content didn't include you hoped. We will review the tour description and see where updates and improvements may be needed. Thank you for your honest feedback, as this helps us ensure that tour content remains valuable and that improvements can be made over time. Best, Helene
The information for moving around the cemetery is not clear enough. We've lost our way many times
Bonjour, je suis désolé pour la mauvaise expérience que vous avez vécue. Nous mettons également à votre disposition une carte du circuit sur votre écran, ce qui est particulièrement utile pour les circuits en voiture. Nous vous recommandons donc de la consulter si vous avez des doutes sur l'itinéraire. Veuillez noter que j'utilise Google Traduction pour vous aider à rédiger cette réponse. Cordialement, Hélène
Very superficial tour with boring jokes and strange choices of visited graves - lots of important ones are skipped. Also not included in this tour is a whole section of very moving memorials to victims of holocaust. I think it’s better look up the list of graves ahead of time and make a plan how to walk to them- all available on line.
Hi there, I'm sorry that the content wasn't as informative as you hoped. We will review the tour content and see if any updates are needed.

Really well guided (using GPS) so we were able to take little hidden paths which we would never have found otherwise. Really interesting commentary. Have never done a tour like this and would thoroughly recommend!
Interesting tour and facts but better directions and slower when giving multiple directions would be useful.
