Disappointing!

We were not able to join the tour as we did not find the meeting place. We went to various tourist info centers but none knew about the tour we got How disappointing, waste of money and time.

Operator response

Hello , We apologise for the issue you face. As the name suggests it is a self guided tour with an app. So there is no tour guide. We have made it clear in the listing as well. The tour is conducted through an app and all information is shared via email just after the booking is made. We would have appreciated if you would have reached out to us via support@tourific.org for clarification. Again we apologise for the confusion. thanks, Tourific Team

A good way to see a new city

Great time and saw parts of the city we would probably not have seen. Love the 4711 as brought back.memories of the Eau d'cologne. Interesting to have the narrative of the all buildings. The map could have been improved if the audio box went from the screen and.allowed the map bigger without the need to enlarge.

The tour itself is good,...

The tour itself is good, however the voiceover is AI and at most of the stops, it does just repeat the information signs at the stops for example EL-DE haus, markt square and the festival hall. I would not recommend this tour and for people to just do their research before visiting as all of this is repeated information and AI.

The tour was great but the map was difficult to follow due to the very small direction arrow on the location point. Other than that it was a good day out.
