“Really good audio tour and guide. Was a bit expensive for the content amount but nevertheless enjoyed. I was a little frustrated with the cliomuse app which kept turning off whilst there and as I had no data, I lost the last hour of the guide so had to go with no other information. However other than that, I would fully recommend this tour and this place - it’s truly magical!”

Visit Sintra’s Moorish Castle at your pace with an entry e-ticket and an offline audio guide on your phone, no live guide needed.
“Poor! Your website is confusing and not user-friendly. We booked what was advertised as a “tour”, expecting a live person to meet us at the given “meeting location” and “specified time”. Nobody arrived! After calling and messaging on WhatsApp, we were told it was actually a self-guided audio tour. The audio did not even start at the meeting point, and it was extremely unclear which recordings matched which sites and where to start. We ended up wandering around aimlessly trying to guess where each track applied. In frustration, I turned it off and explored on my own. The biggest waste of money ever!”

“Ha sido una decepción porque hemos comprado unas entradas con audioguía para el Palacio de Ajuda en Lisboa y cuando hemos intentado descargar la audioguía, no estaba el monumento en cuestión entre las diversas opciones aunque nos han cobrado el coste del audioguía. Teniendo en cuenta el coste de la entrada en otras plataformas, 15€, hemos pagado 21€, entendemos que hemos pagado un extra de 6€ por cada entrada y no nos ha servido de nada”
