Loved this self guided audio tour. Clear instructions, informative audio, self guided. Easy to follow and do in our own time. Loved the "meet you at the corner" direction. Started when we arrived in our own walk time, no hurry to get to a place with a group. We will be using in future
Excellent way to self guide around the Jewish quarter. Informative and easy to navigate. Would recommend this.
I really enjoyed this tour. I was not bothered by crowds or other tourists. The audio guide was informative and easy to use. Both my wife and I took the tour simultaneously - allowing us to have a shared but individual experience. We stopped when we wanted to explore or rest, then resumed at our own pace.
Really enjoyable self paced tour of the Jewish Quarter. Narrator was great, very clear and informative. We both prefer these type of tours as it’s more private and self paced.
Excellent tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the commentary and humour, and the directions were spot on so getting lost is almost Impossible. Can thoroughly recommend.
Great tour very informative and nice to do it on our own at our own pace
Very informational and easy to follow. Thank you.
My daughter and I took this walking tour and the description and knowledge was very good. It's a well thought out guide. Just need to mention that near the start of the tour we were guided to a murial which should of been a bell but the murial changed a few months ago which was a little bit confusing. But we asked another guide who explained this and we were able to continue
Good value for money tour. Would highly recommend. So easy to navigate from one place to another due to the excellent verbal instructions. We used one phone and one AirPod each. The tour was informative and interesting and the app/tour was easy to start/stop as needed.
Brilliant trip. Easy to follow and gave a great overall view of the Ghetto and zjewosh quarter. Highly recommend thos trip.
