What a special way to visit a new place! The app is really easy to use and it allowed us to track the guide. We joined the first part of the itinerary with the guide, a passionate young lady who spoke a very good English, then we decided to continue our discovery on our own.
The commentaries on the app are very well done, they go into the details so it was very interesting to discover the city independently.
Abbiamo acquistato questo tour perché volevamo tornare a casa con un bagaglio ricco di storia, cultura, racconti e curiosità e abbiamo trovato proprio ciò che stavamo cercando. Non la classica visita guidata ma qualcosa di più particolare, flessibile e all'avanguardia, soprattutto in un momento come questo. Siamo riusciti ad organizzare la nostra giornata senza fretta né limiti di orari: abbiamo incontrato la guida in Piazza della Repubblica e l'abbiamo seguita per circa due ore in un percorso davvero interessante. Dopodiché abbiamo deciso di fare una pausa e abbiamo mangiato un panino nella zona per poi incontrare di nuovo la guida nel primo pomeriggio e continuare il nostro percorso a piedi per un'altra oretta circa. Abbiamo infine deciso di salutare la guida (Andrea, davvero bravo e disponibile) e terminare la visita per conto nostro, individuando sulla mappa i punti di interesse che ci ispiravano di più. Un modo del tutto nuovo (almeno per noi) di esplorare una città. Lo consiglio!
Sono stato un fine settimana a Firenze, a fare visita a mia figlia che lavora lì. Mi ha consigliato lei di fare questo tour, visto il poco tempo che avevo e effettivamente si è rivelata davvero un'ottima scelta.
Ho incontrato la guida grazie all'applicazione sul mio telefono e l'ho seguita per tutta la mattina. Nel pomeriggio invece ho preferito vagabondare per le meravigliose stradine di Firenze ascoltando la descrizione di monumenti, piazze, chiese tramite la stessa app che avevo usato la mattina. L'ho trovata molto intuitiva e comoda e i commenti registrati sono davvero ben fatti e per niente banali. Lo rifarei!
We went to Florence a couple of days and we bought this tour which was really nice. We had an app on our mobile phones and we could visit the city on our own, by listening to the commentaries recorded or by finding the guide who was doing the guided tour around the city. We had never heard something like this before and we found it so brilliant! We met the guide in the afternoon, after having visited a part of Florence on our own. He was so kind and passionate. He told us about the Medici Family, their story, their residences and dinasty and much more. The second day we did the same, by following the other itinerary (there are two) and we met another guide, a young lady graduated in Art History, moved to Florence from Sicily for the love she has for Renaissance. We learnt a lot without any full immersion but in total freedom.
