Didn’t work - hopeless waste of money
Venera_O, Oct 2023
The app Pop Guide they gave me a QR code to scan on arrival needed a User Name and a Password or a QR scan to open it. The VOX rep at the entry didn’t provide this not explain it was needed. Nor did she check to see that the audio tour was loaded and ready to go. This is very poor service. Unsure if this is VOX policy or her. They had a separate PDF with another app called Vox City that was attached to the confirmation in Viator. It’s didn’t contain the audio tour rather more yours they offered. It had a user name and password but didn’t work on the audio tour app. Basically a waste of money given it’s €5 to enter the museum at the door. I’d like an explanation of what went wrong from the provider VOX tours and also my money back.
Great castle & museums, non functioning audio guide app
Susan_K, Oct 2023
The museums and castle were great! Our representative met us timely. But then she said- “Did you download the app?” Hadn’t realized I had to, so she let me scan the QR. Took over 1/2 an hour, and used up about half of my hotspot memory, to do so. Then, when we got in the museum, I opened the app and was asked to scan the QR again, but of course we were no longer with the tour contact. So I spent $$ of my private hot spot to down load a non functioning audio guide that, it turned out, was unneeded. Between English language info sheets, and my Google translate, we did fine on our own.
Sforza Sucked
Raffaele_M, Oct 2023
Tour guide never showed up. Had to call Viator and get a refund. No other guests were present. We were 30 mins early & at correct entrance. Viator never contacted us to inform us tour canceled.
Audio guide not useful
YuFei_K, Oct 2023
The audio information is very simple n general, not tight to the exhibition. Based on the price paid is not worth it. Should just bought the audio guide directly from the office which only $5.
Not as described
Sarah_O, Sep 2023
This tour is not as a described on the Viator website. We expected our entry tickets and audio guides from Sforza Castle. Providing detailed information about the site and artefacts. What we got was an email a day before telling up to download an app and maps (using expensive 4G when overseas that is not included in my mobile contract). The information in the app was beyond minimal. Two paragraphs per floor. You needed your own headphones and if you didn’t have these you had to listen on speakerphone, annoying other visitors. We ended up paying to have the official audio guide and this was much better with lots more information. We feel we have been ripped off as well as left out of pocket. Beware booking this. If you want to visit Sforza Castle then just buy a ticket and audio guide at the ticket office on the day. I would also say Sforza Castle and its exhibitions was very disappointing. I am a historian and found it boring. There is no history of the castle or its inhabitants shared. Some exhibitions of paintings, furniture and musical instruments badly curated. Too many stairs for the disabled and argumentative staff when you ask to use the lift (still not step free access even with the lift). They tried to force me to climb onto the ramparts despite being disabled because the tour is one way. Ridiculous! No catering other than a van outside. Toilets nasty with no seats nor paper. I can recommend lots of things in Milan but not Sforza Castle or this tour.
Make sure you have internet or don’t bother. The company should insure they provide the equipment at the tour location.
Linda_C, Sep 2023
I was able to read few plaques in Italian. Otherwise , the lost connection to the audio tour made the trip very disappointing.
Interesting place but audio left us wanting
thereselord61, Aug 2023
We enjoyed the castle very much and it was very interesting however the downloaded audio did not work for us and so we made do with the museum notes where available We were not able to actually find out much about the building and it’s history though. Still though we enjoyed or visit there
Cancelled another day. No opening in plans
Richard_C, Jul 2023
It was cancelled due to weather damage. Many trees down and all the flooding prevented the tour from happening.
Great tour, and great tour guide.
Dennis_F, Apr 2023
The "Last Supper" was a magnificent experience. The tour guide was so knowledgeable that she made the tour great for all participants. I would reccomend this tour to everyone.
OutstNding
Harry_H, Mar 2023
Thoroughly enjoyed all the history, art and beautiful furniture. 2.5 hrs. Wasn't long enough to see it all.
Ticketing problem
ddavescull, May 2022
Guide Sara did not have our tickets for entry, is arranging a refund though and was very apologetic for the booking error
Autoguía pobre
Claudio_A, Nov 2023
Información entregada en autoguia pobre, poca información histórica, además no entregan audífono. El mapa es poco amigable, no cuadra con la realidad, se pierde tiempo para entender.
Ótimo passeio
Felipe_K, Aug 2023
Um ótimo passeio e com excelente atendimento pelo guia local. Custo dentro do adequado. Localização fácil
Orrenda
Antonella_G, May 2023
Da dimenticare. Abbandonati all'audioguida.. non individuabile l'operatore che aveva un'altra casacca...
Parfait
Cathy_R, May 2023
La visite seuls, à notre rythme mais avec toutes les informations souhaitées c'est super. L'application est géniale.
Burg Sforza
MehmetAli_G, Dec 2022
Geschichtlich sehr interessant und Architektonisch sehr imposant. Ein Besuch ist Pflicht. Allerdings gibt es bessere Museen in Mailand.
