Self-Guided 1,5-hour Tour of Innsbruck: Exciting Stories, Photo Spots & Desserts

Awesome!

We found this tour really easy and self explanatory. I was given an app to download and everything was there! The only reason why I gave 1 less star is because they should let you know to take a power bank with you as the app drains your battery so had to make sure we found power along our route. Otherwise a great tour! :)

Great but could be better!

We had a great time. The Nordkettebahn was an added bonus. I was really disappointed that it was narrated by an American who couldn’t pronounce any of the German names or places. As a German speaker, it really grated on me. Why not a native German speaker who speaks English?

Not overwhelming...

First the positive: in terms of logistics it was super easy to install, download and then follow the tour. Also, Anna was very helpful in the process via WhatsApp. But I was indeed a bit disappointed: I took the tour on a rainy day in Innsbruck that didn't invite for long strolls, but I also wasn't stressing. The tour took me 40 minutes without any of the suggested detours. While the information was good and helpful, it could have included quite a few more stops in the old town that were within reach. The English tour is spoken by an AI-voice, which was not pleasant. The intonation is lifeless and the Austrian names are horribly mispronounced. All in all, it was a decent introduction to Innsbruck and nicely flexible being without a tourist group. But for the price I had expected a higher quality execution of the audioguide.

This guide gives you ideas of where to go but you yourself decide how much time and money to spend on different things. High rec

This was great! It was easy to move along the tour. You could listen the same explanation again and read the text if the was something you didn't quite catch. It was nice that you could just stop whenever you wanted in the middle of the tour and do you own stuff and then continue the tour. I loved the flexibility and how easy to use the app was. Great way to get an introduction of Innsbruck and to dive deeper in the things you find interesting.

Great guide to the city!

I loved doing this tour! It was so nice to go at my own pace. I made a stop at the bell tower to climb to the top and got a great view! I also stopped and rode the lift that the tour brought me to! The tour was informative and gave great recommendations (definitely hit the last stop!)

A friendly guide….

We’re experienced travelers. We don’t like being tied to a group, and we don’t need a shepherd. This was a perfect way to visit Innsbruck. The map guide was much simpler than on line maps- you could always see the destination, so wandering down an interesting side street didn’t result in “relocating” or a new set of directions- you just looked for your way back on track. The tour allowed you at any time to stop, for a snack, lunch, shopping. If the given info was enough, you moved on; if not, there was supplemental material. We were “touring” during the Christmas markets, so our tour took about 5 hours. The itinerary kept us from backtracking, but lead us to many spots that called for extra time. I will definitely check if a tour is available in cities I visit in the future.

Wow! That was great!

It was first time for me when I use self-guided tour, so I have had some thoughts about. But at the end, Anna was very helpful and explained me hot to use it. Thank you again. It is perfect for solo-traveler or small group. Will do it again for sure.
