I couldn’t always find what the recording was talking about but I wanted something self paced so it was worth the slight annoyance. I found the major sites without being shuttled on someone else’s clock
I learned so much without the waiting and all that goes into a group event. Well worth the money!
It was a very informative tour. Easy to follow. Highly recommend. The narrator had a nice voice and was easy to follow
A wonderful way to explore a neighborhood in Paris. The directions for the most part were exact. Any issues were easily resolved and probably user error on my part.
The tour was very informative, let you go at your own pace and the GSP was very good. Overall a really interesting way to find out more about Le Marais and it's history
The app worked very well until it didn't. We used it over 2 days. When we got near the end of the tour it stopped. I restarted it and it stopped at the same place.
Started ok. But we couldn’t find the synagogue. Then we got totally lost and gave up. We had already been to the Jewish museum. So we felt it was a waste of time and money
We downloaded the tour on the app. I also had a printout of the stops along the way: we started at the Musee de la Shoah. Many of the exhibits are translated into English. It’s a beautiful memorial. The tour was easy to follow. However on the Rue des Rosiers the sound stopped on both my and my husband’s phones. We tried to continue the following day but the tour no longer worked. With the printout we were able to complete most of the tour on our own but were disappointed that we had no accompanying information through the tour we’d purchased.
The experience was standing on a street corner for 40 minutes clicking with your phone trying to actually access the tour. The chat was worthless. Directions were to go to the App store, search for app, then search for the tour, open up an account, and on and on. We gave up. Late in the day we noticed the actual link was sent to us. Disgraceful. An entire morning in Paris wasted.
What a fantastic audio guided tour! I wanted to know more about the Jewish Quarter and history, and this gave me everything I wanted and more. It was so easy to follow, and let you pause to stop in shops, or eat, or just wander. I was very impressed with the tour content. Le Marais is a beautiful and interesting district in Paris!
