    A fun, lively and informational tour; well worth doing. The content was engaging and interesting. We had no troubles with the GPS. We did wander off course some but could easily get back to the designated route. My husband’s unhappy review reflects the trouble he had purchasing the tour from the TripAdvisor site; when I bought and he re-bought the tour directly from the VoiceMap app we were successful.

    It started out well, but became confusing to use. We chose to use Trip Advisor’s list of things to do instead, and had a much more enjoyable experience.

    Interesting information. The GPS feature worked most of the time. Sometimes directions were a bit delayed and I had to backtrack. Overall a worthwhile experience.

    Truly fascinating, easy to follow and just long enough. The tour highlights some of the interesting historical buildings in Aix-en-Provence. The guide is really easy to use and you can stop, start, go over and/or skip places as you wish. Very flexible, it allows you to wander at your own pace and brings the old city alive. We’ll worth it. Communication from the organisers was excellent and provided step by step instructions of how to gain access and download the tour. Highly recommended as an introduction to a beautiful city.
