Horrible. Never once did anyone tell me you needed a car for this tour!!! They took my money without explaining that. Am on vacation and do not have a car!!!!

I am not sure if it was Pintours or myself. It was challenging to navigate the Audio tour, so we decided to explore the city on our own by visiting the popular attractions and more. If we had known this earlier, we would have saved the money we spent on the Audio tour and invested it in something else. I am not an IT expert, but I am competent. When it comes to tasks like following audio, I know how to handle it. Karl Vögeler-Suegart / Ontario / Canada
