Really enjoyable tour with lots of information about Cordoba and its history - This was a great tour. Gave us lots of interesting information about Cordoba’s history and culture while taking us on a roundabout but nice route we would never have found by ourselves. It is long, though - we probably spent over 4 hours including a few short breaks. The app is easy to use once you get the hang of it, and you can stop and restart the tour whenever you want. The GPS was a bit unreliable at times, so in a couple of places it didn’t trigger when it should have done, which meant we had to look at the map on our phones, but most of the time it worked fine and we could just follow the instructions.

Great introduction to Cordoba. - Great overview of the city. Saw a number of hidden gems I had previously missed. Easy to use and understand. Ben had a pleasing voice and volume of information great.

Cordoba tour - We really enjoyed this tour, we took our time stopping when we wanted and it was really easy to pick back up again. We definitely got to see way more than we would have done without using this tour, it helped us make the most of our visit. Would definitely recommend

Enjoyed the guide and... - Enjoyed the guide and walk. Had difficulty starting since we wanted to start a couple of sites into the tour and couldn’t seem to. I also had trouble going from trying to take a picture and then going back to the map.

Frustration in Cordoba - The information contained in the guide was very interesting, and well-researched, informative and well-presented. However, we had quite a few problems using the App. 1. There is a lot of background noise in Granada, so much of the time we could not hear the commentary, even with the volume on the smartphone turned up full. 2. The map kept disappearing and we couldn't see where we were on the route. getting the map back was quite a palaver as I have thumbprint recognition and it wasted a lot of time. By this time we had taken off the headphones to be able to hear the guide and were sharing the one phone because there was no way to keep the two phones synchronised. 3. The route is very long and completing it in under 3.5 hours would be a push. We only had three hours and we had to miss a lot of the last part of the tour which was in our opinion one of the most interesting parts of the City. 4. Taking photos with the phone being used for the tour, was difficult as it meant leaving and re-entering the app. 5. It uses up battery power quite quickly and we were lucky to have battery recharger with us or we wouldn't have had enough power left to figure out how to get back to the bus station. Suggestions; 1. increase the volume potential of the app 2. Break the tour into bite-sized chunks of 1.25 hours each with its distinctive colour on the map. 3. Give each point of information on the map its own number with an easy way to replay if required. 4. Make it possible to take photos without leaving the App. The App has great potential but needs more development to make it an enjoyable experience. As it is at present we would probably not use it again.

Not the best tour. - Difficult to find the starting point. Not able to change the route. Difficult to restart when you detour or take a rest or stop to spend time at a location.
