    Pleasant app, a bit hit and miss to understand this app, but once figured out, you can’t get lost. The sightseeing of the old town of Mainz was a positive experience.

    This is an excellent app. Well narrated, easy to follow, good historical information and quirky gems. It took us just over 2 hours (only small, short breaks) but perhaps we lingered at each spot longer than the app planned. However would not have made it faster. Highly recommend

    Overall, great experience. Highly recommend! First, the directions were easy and straightforward (have to download an additional app). Next, the directions to guide you from site to site were very detailed and easy to follow - also, love to listen to a narrator with an accent! Lastly, the information was interesting and the experience fun & entertaining - we were sad for it to end. Although I hate to download new apps, I did not delete it (VoiceMap) as there are other narrated tours that I want to try both in my area and while traveling.

    This was an absolutely wonderful tour. I didn’t use the audio but read the text instead and the directions were so clear! The information was extensive and interesting. The tour covers so much ground, you get a wonderful sense of Mainz. I do wish it had told us when was our chance to go to the Gutenberg Museum, but perhaps I missed that.
