Excellent walking guide! Able to go at my own pace and saw a lot!
Glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for the lovely feedback.
The walking tour was quite good. I especially enjoyed the Auer Chocolate store, absolutely amazing inside, and not something I would have visited without being prompted. The app is quite good, just realize you need to wait for the tour company to send you a link. Once I received it, all went seamlessly. The map cursor follows you along so you know if you are getting off track, and you can check the photos to ensure you are at the right stop. Easy-Peasy. Interesting information shared, more would be better, but thats usually true. Great to do it at your own pace, stop when needed, recommence when ready. Only missed one stop near the end, and went back to it.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review! We really appreciate it and we are glad that you enjoyed the tour. We hope to serve you again in the future. Best regards, The Tourific team
