Unfortunately I would not really rate this very highly. Although it is a good idea, I found the audio commentary doesn't actually tell you anything. It's just a load of AI like waffle, lots of words without actually telling you anything, with no real bits of information and so I don't really class it as any real value for money..
Hi Jonathan, thank you for taking the time to share this feedback and I am sorry the guide felt like “AI waffle” rather than useful information. All Trales stories are based on factual sources, but your review has made it clear that we need to make them more concise and information rich. We are now updating every story to get to the point faster, adding more trusted sources, and only using short map descriptions for places that lack enough material for a full audio story. I have tried to contact you directly to make this right, and you are very welcome to reach out to us so we can offer you a chance to try the updated version. All the best,
Worked better than I could imagined! Never been to Rome before, but thanks to Trales I didnt have to look into many wikipedia-pages or signs. Me and my wife could just walk outside and look to the left, look to the right and just get great Trales-stories about the city and its many sightings wherever we went. Because of Trales, I knew the story to why Pope Franciskus wanted to get buried outside of the vatican - months before he actually died! That’s class
Skip the boring crowded physical tours with this very nice on demand tour. Good sound and comfortable pace. We did colosseum and what an experience!!
Went to Rome with my wife and explore the full city. We used Trales instead of expensive tour guides as we could do our own itineraey and still get all the fantastic history and stories behind the city. Trales was really easy to use, relevant and great information and it was so nice to have in our pockets throughout our visit, so as soon as we saw something noteable, we could get some relevant and useful stories about it. Strongly recommed!
Our tour guide was knowledgeable, charming and full of details of key sites included in our 60 minute tour. I would take this tour again!
Rome is really a hot bed of history. We wanted to go our own way so we used this location based audio guides. There was truly great coverage of all the sites we visited, and I liked the stories about famous people connected to the sites.
Instead of booking a guide we tried this self guided tour app that gave us stories about top sights all around Rome. Was a great way to get the stories behind all the monuments, which we otherwise would not have heard.
