Echoes of History: A Journey Through Carcassonne's Medieval Marvels

Die Tour startet bereits mit einigen Schwierigkeiten. Startpunkt wird man vom eigentlichen Zielort nochmals zurück geführt. Das eigentliche Starten der Tour war ebenfalls mit Problemen verbunden. Die Anweisung in der App stimmt nicht mit dem überein wie tatsächlich zu verfahren wäre um den Audioguide herunter zu laden. Einen QR Code zu scannen vom eigenen Smartphone, ist auch spannend und zu Chat Hotline möchte man auch nichts sagen. Schade, für 10 Euro hätte ich deutlich mehr erwartet.
