That was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I stepped inside, I was surrounded by stunning frescoes, sculptures, and artifacts that tell the story of centuries of culture. One of the highlights was definitely the self-guided audio tour. It helped not to get lost and I liked it very much I could pause whenever I wanted to take in the details or snap a few photos without feeling rushed. I loved learning about the stories of the artists and the significance of the Vatican marvelous collection. Can't wait to go back and explore more!

The Colosseum itself was mind boggling, and incalculable wealth must have been required, the forum also. Only 4 stars as we couldn't get the audio for first time, and having gone quickly round.

Lovely tour! Downloading the app was straightforward... Adding the relevant audio guide requires the purchase code ... The app works great , you have to scan waypoints to make the audio guide continue, if you can't find one you get the option to skip the scan process and the audio guide continues.
Kids loved the interaction of the app , don't forget you need headphones.
