Netter Spaziergang durch die Stadt, der Text war mehr oder weniger Interessant. Aber schöne Idee, um einen interessanten Spaziergang durch die Stadt zu machen und einen Überblick über die sehenswerten Orte zu bekommen. Die Rätsel waren optional, aber ganz nett, um sich etwas mit dem Ort zu beschäftigen. Gute Idee, die App hat gut funktioniert, die Route war schön, aber die Informationen können verbessert werden.

Activité très intéressante, tous le petit groupe à adorer, nous avons découvert 10 merveilles de tarragone à travers un parcours bien organisé, des parcours de moin de 10 min à chaque fois, pour découvrir en douceur et apprécier la ballade. On évolue a notre rythme, on fait des pauses si besoin, un guide sur mesure! Les énigmes sont accessibles à tous ce qui a plu au grands comme aux petits. En bref nous avons passer une superbe après-midi avec cette application. A refaire avec d’autres ville sans hésité.

Dommage qu’on n’ait pas vu tous les grands monuments (le château au lieu de la fontaine par exemple.) Un peu déçue d’avoir payé pour 4 personnes alors que nous n’avions qu’un téléphone. Le prix devrait être par téléphone et non par personne. Sinon c’est une façon très sympa de découvrir une ville inconnue !

Ideale manier om de stad te verkennen. De opdrachtjes waren kort genoeg zodat de kindjes niet ongeduldig werden. De afstand was ook goed te doen met jonge kinderen (6 jaar en 3 jaar in buggy).

Nous avons expérimenté la visite à 4: 2 adultes et 2 enfants. Pour 6 euros, je trouve que c est correct. Cela permet une visite certes, non exhaustive, mais intéressante de la ville. Les points d intérêts sont rapprochés donc cela permet de faire la visite en famille, des plus jeunes aux plus âgés. Les explications sont traduites littéralement (en francais) et donc parfois un peu étranges mais l essentiel était compréhensible. Je vous recommande ce tour ! Isabelle PS : nous avons payé 16 euros de parking pour moins de 6 heures de stationnement. Cela fait très cher la visite de la ville ( quand on y ajoute restau et verre en terrasse comme nous l avons fait)

Tour veramente molto piacevole e bella esperienza. L’audioguida è interessante e ben realizzata. Per quanto riguarda gli indovinelli si potrebbe portare qualche piccola miglioria, per esempio fornendo, a tour ultimato, qualche delucidazione o ulteriore precisazione. (es. differenze della foto dell’anfiteatro ed altre). Comunque nel complesso, giudizio estremamente positivo ed esperienza consigliata per chi desidera un approccio diverso ma sicuramente interessante per conoscere la bellissima città di Tarragona. A piedi, in cerca di indizi e con l’aiuto della guida si scoprono luoghi veramente suggestivi. Consiglieremo il tour a familiari ed amici.
