Ok but not great

The site was useful in identifying areas to visit. Functionality wasn't great and it didn't work fully some of the time. Narratives - 5/10 - quite flamboyant - could have explained more using less words.

Operator response

Hi David and thanks for your honest review! I agree, occasionally our narrator describes certain themes in too much length. We are for this reason updating all narratives and stories in the coming weeks. We're really proud about this upgrade so I'll be reaching out to you with a free day's pass to try out the new experience for your next European city getaway. I will also make sure to understand what functionality did not work for you. We test everything daily but edge cases and unlikely deviations can of course occur even for us. I'll be in touch! UPDATED RESPONSE: ALL OUR STORIES ARE NOW UPDATED AND HAVE RECEIVED VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK. HOPE THAT YOU NOW FEEL THAT THE NARRATIVES ALSO ARE 10/10. WE ARE REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK BEHIND IT!

Was sadly very disappointed with this experience...

First, I had issues with setting up my phone for the experience. I had to download an app & then had issues using the app. This process was made particularly difficult as the links & information provided were difficult to follow & didn’t always open properly or stay open. The whole process was made even harder was travelling with my 84 year old father. Second, when I finally got the experience set up for us both, there was too much information to listen to & it was in ‘podcast style’ with 2 speakers talking. The information was interesting but just too much listen to & in the wrong style for the experience (in my opinion) which made it unsuitable for my Dad. (he ended up taking out his earplugs after the first stop it was just too much for him to take in. Lastly, I found it hard to find where to go to see each stop and do ended up needing to use google maps to find my way around. Given that we did a similar walking tour in a different part of Germany (with a different provider) which we both throughly enjoyed & had zero problems with, we were looking forward to a different experience & were very disappointed by this one, having also paid more for it too! My recommendation to this provider is to firstly make it easier to set up this experience (provide links that work & apps that you don’t need to sign into) reduce content, change format (make it more personal, one speaker only), provide more support to find locations (interactive map) & keep tourist on track (help them if they lose their way) & only talk when tourist is at location. Perhaps this is harder to provide, but is possible & necessary if you want people to use your service. Other than that, Berlin is an amazing city - worth visiting again, but with a different tour guide!

Hi and thank you for your comprehensive review! However, there is no app download involved in the process (you start straight in your browser with three simple steps), and there is only one narrator for the stories, which leads me to believe that you might be reviewing the wrong audio tour provider? Please reach out to info@trales.io to get this sorted. All the best, Alexander

Berlin trip made perfect with Trales

Visited Berlin with my family who is very interested in history and culture. We used trales as our tour guide wherever we went and were amazed by the huge variety of content (there is pretty much a story for everything you see) and the quality of the stories. This was perfect for a city like berlin where there are so many areas to cover, and we could take our time visiting each one and enjoy high quality guides without having to rush through it or sacrifice discovering some areas, as would have been the case with a normal tour guide set up. Trales really elevated our visit, strongly recommend and worth every penny (still think it is too cheap for its value)
