We did a self-guided audio tour for the first time and were really surprised how well it worked.
Downloading the app is simple but finding the starting point when arriving at the cruise port is not. There is a specific starting point of the lecture and we were unable to find the exact location indicated. We even tried to use Google maps with our connection to cell towers. The information was accurate and informative. This was an opportunity to see Cadiz on our own and at our own pace. I have used these type of self-guided tours before and honestly this one was the most difficult to use. I can only blame myself as the operator! I will try other self-guided tours in the future.
Wonderful way to tour the city at your own pace without being stuck in a walking group of people. Very easy to follow the app, it had GPS and the route was very simple to follow. Each stop had a thorough description and we also heard stories along our walk to each site. Simple to download.
Could not download tour. Tried multiple times, kept getting sent back to sign in. Extremely frustrating + would appreciate a refund!

Again, I'm sorry about the poor experience you had. Best, Alicia
Perfect. Day 4 of our cruise and we wanted to explore on our own. We came in knowing little of Cádiz, and this tour was just what we needed to navigate the city and get a true sense of its history. If you're looking for just a place to start and make your way in a truly lovely coastal town, do this.
Had no idea something like this existed! The technology is amazing! Not only does it start talking when you approach landmarks (GPS driven) but if you veer off course, it tells you you seem to be lost - alerting you to check and adjust your direction.! Will use this for any destinations I can in the future.
Excellent map, directions and narrative. Saw a large part of Cadiz that I wouldn’t have come across without this app. I couldn’t complete the tour as it was just too hot, but I’ll be back to finish it off.
The app worked perfectly with the GPS, it was a thorough tour. Genius app with excellent commentary of the cites of historical Cádiz.
We decided to do a walking tour of Cadiz when disembarking a cruise ship. It is an easy city to walk around but the coloured lines that are meant to be painted on the ground are no longer visible for most of the route. Best to research and get yourself a good city map / route before you go. The tourist one we were given was not much good as streets were not always named. However, we managed to get around and it well worth walking to the other side of the city (not that far) to see the cathedral and beach area as well as the old roman amphitheatre. A lovely small city and ideal for a few hours of wandering around when getting off the cruise.
This is a great way to explore the city of Cádiz if you want your own private tour at your own pace. The narration is clear and concise and the route around the city takes in all or most of the important landmarks and places to see. I learned a lot about Cádiz and really enjoyed the audio guide.
