Couple of hours sightseeing around Padova
Decided to try this walk as a way of seeing Padova.
Easy to follow route which told you if you were going the wrong way.
Informative and gave recommendations to go into different places of interest either then or later.
For the money (€10) it was a good couple of hours spent.

Easy to use and good information. Better than a guide book
Good information and covered the key sites and some off of the tourist trail. Really good gps system for prompting info and good directions. Easy to download and access once purchased. Only criticism is it could have had links to more in depth information when visiting each of the historical sites.

Worth the price
I was traveling solo and only had about two hours in Padova so this was a great way to take a quick look around and learn a bit about the area. The GPS didn’t work consistently in some of the more medieval streets, but that may not be the app’s fault. The info was good and definitely worth the price. The app was easy to download and access.

Didn't receive the audio guide
We had paid for the audio guide, waited an hour (as it is recommended in the instructions) and got absolutely NOTHING. We were supposed to get an email with further information and - I guess - some link to dowlond the guide. We are pretty upset and finally left Padua.
Operator response
Hi Olga
Can you let us know where it tells you to wait an hour? We contact each and every customer that books one of our tours through a reseller like TripAdvisor or Viator telling them to download the tour straight away. You should have received the instructions to download the tour immediately.
Our Padua's Historical Centre is a well liked tour so I'm sorry you weren't able to enjoy it. I've processed a refund for you though as I can see that the tour was never downloaded.
Keep well,
Alicia

Beautiful old city at your own pace
Loved the way we could stop for a drink and then the tour would start again when we moved off. It was very easy to follow.
