Very detailed explanations. Enjoyable to take at own pace. Nice walk through the city. A bargain if you are pressed for time.

Great facts about the city at your own pace. The only issue was my playback wasn't automatically continuous so I'd have to keep checking my phone to see if I was in the right area each time.

I did fine with this tour for the first 2 stops, although the starting point was hard to find and required a $12 entry fee. Then the tour moved ahead quickly, and I was unable to back it up to get the directions on which way to go. I gave up and went shopping.

Hi Melissa
The tour starts outside the attraction and is designed so you don't have to enter it. Did you perhaps start the tour virtually? If you did, it disables the GPS playback and plays one track after the other which would explain why it moved ahead too quickly.
Thanks,
Alicia

This audio tour is a great way to experience Ravenna at your own pace and see all the main things! I highly recommend it. And you can’t beat the price!

We spent a night in Ravenna prior to a cruise--The tour was easy to follow and took us through the 5 mosaic sights of Ravenna. It was nice to have the commentary

A great alternative to a personal guided tour, and I could do it at my own pace and for great value! The guide worked perfectly.

Great way to get around this cute little town on your own if you don’t have much time. The app helps you navigate and provides a little history. Without it you may walk right past something.

Heel goede en duidelijke uitleg door aangename stem. Geen nood meer aan freetour, we hebben deze app gebruikt omdat de gids van freetour niet was komen opdagen. Vanaf nu gaan we deze manier om een wandeling met deskundige uitleg nog veel gebruiken! Hopelijk zijn er in vele steden zulke wandelingen beschikbaar! Sterk aanbevolen!
