“It was boring and difficult to follow because it was too slow. It had a repetitive soundtrack which was disturbing and it talked too much about murals.”
Walk Bern’s Old Town with a self-guided English audio route hitting clocks, fountains, churches, the BearPark, and Swiss Parliament for $13.29.
“There is quite a bit of walking. The full-time for the tour would probably be approaching five hours. However, they go into a lot of detail for certain sculptures or stain glass windows. That’s easy to skip through if you’re not interested. The walking directions are excellent.”
Self-guided Zurich audio walk to churches, Roman baths, Dada roots, and opera views. 2–3 hours in English; phone and headset needed.
