Put on the boots of a 19th century Parisian to stroll through the most beautiful passages, ancestors of shopping malls and shopping centres for a stroll through the centuries.

    It was me and my wife. We could have paid and downloaded only for one, and hear it together, but we were tld it would have to be two payments. When walking, of course we only used one. It was a waste of money.

    L'application n'a pas fonctionné. J'ai contacté l'assistance par mail et par téléphone. Aucune réponse. Je demande le remboursement.

    Nous avons cherché le départ de la visite que nous n avons jamais trouvé ! Passage verdeau : endroit où nous étions et avons fait le tour du parc du Palais Royal aussi ! Au bout d une heure, nous avons abandonné ! Visite payée à l avance et non faite

    Auf der Buchungsbestätigung war angegeben, dass man Tickets einlösen muss. Wir sind fast eine Stunde vor Irt im Kreis geschickt worden. Dann war Ticket nicht notwendig, um Audiotour zu aktivieren. Auch dies war mühsam. Da einer für mehrere gebucht hat, musste jeder die sich einen Account anlegen um den link versenden zu können. Nachdem die Aktivierung bestätigt war, hatten einige dennoch keinen Zugriff auf die Audiotour. Somit bezahlt und nichts gehört. Das Geld kann man sich sparen !
