Best way to explore the city! - The audio guide for Venice was fantastic! It led me through all the important landmarks like St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace, and I loved the little stories about Venetian history and culture. The guide was easy to follow, and it helped me explore the city at my own pace. It added a lot to my experience and helped me appreciate Venice even more!

This is brilliant! - This was brilliant! We spent all afternoon exploring Venice on a rainy day at our own pace. Stopped for a wine and a rest and continued at our own pace. Learnt so much about Venice and its history. Highly recommend.

Great audio guide! - Great audio guide! The app downloaded simply, it's clear and easy to use. I really liked the audio guide tips - I was even able to buy a ticket to the Doge's Palace right there. The narration of the sights was interesting, nice voice. Thank you

Amazing walk! - An enjoyable way to explore part of Venice independently and at your own pace, allowing you to linger at points of interest and potentially skip other areas, with the option to resume your visit at a later date.

Highlights and "must see" sights for Venice visitors - Good comprehensive tour with all the must-see items in Venice. History lessons and traditions and cultural knowledge included. Nice to be able to pause between stops to peruse and explore on our own and would have liked to have a nudge in the direction of the next item (to continue, turn left and cross the first bridge; or, go to the second alley to start the walk to our next stop). All in all, a good long and informative walk!

Canceled flight - My flight was canceled so I had a little time to find something to do. I wish I had seen how many miles the walk was before starting.

Convoluted access to the audio guide. - The audio was interesting and easy to listen to. The geolocation sometimes lags a little bit (which could have been my phone) and the map view is angled as opposed to directly overhead, which occasionally made it difficult to see which side of buildings one should be on. The starting point is on the waterfront, not inside a building, as shown. Don't bother going through Viator. Just get the guide directly from Touringbee. You'll be told to use a confirmation code that begins with 2 letters. However the letters aren't needed: leave them off and use the number only. Overall it's ok.

Good information, but difficult to access - We should have downloaded the tour directly from the app instead of going through Viator. It was difficult to download and the instructions and customer service were very unclear. I paid for 4 tours, but couldn’t figure out how to send it to others’ phones. We ended up huddled around my phone listening to the information. I should’ve just paid for one. That said, the information was interesting and it took us to interesting spots away from the crush of tourists. The narration was done by a generic computer voice and was a little slow, but I did enjoy the experience and would be willing to do this again in a different city. Sometimes my cell phone reception wasn’t great which made the map feature not work as well as it should have. I was able to overcome that by closing the app and starting it again.

Scam!! Beware - You had to follow directions to an unmarked area to be able to download this tour. We walked for hours asking people for help along with Google maps which was no help at all. Finally a shop owner told us this address does not exist so not only did we waste our money on the tour we also wasted several hours of our vacation l looking for something that were would never find. This is a complete scam
