The tour was informative and entertaining, although we still took 3 hours because there were so many other things to discover. The installation of the app is simple; afterward, you just enter the code that you receive via email or SMS. Then it can begin. Headphones are recommended.
Very nice and interesting guided tour. Enough stops and a well thought out order. Jo Eckhart also has a good narration. Good mix of facts: informative and lighthearted. Liked to be able to listen in advance to be more prepared.
I'm pissed off , I was charged 18, something but I didn't get a code to download the audio version. Thanks for nothing. I guess it's the order of the day these days to pull people off.

We had an amazing day at Sanssouci Park. This audio tour took us on a great route through the gardens, and it really helped to put everything into context. Lots of interesting anecdotes about the Prussian kings associated with Sanssouci. Highly recommend both the park itself (including the palaces) and the audio tour!
