Battery Usage Disclaimer:
The continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
While enjoying POPGuide outdoors, it will first track your current location then navigate you to the POIs of your choice. To avoid unnecessary GPS tracking draining your battery, make sure that you disable the location function of your device whenever appropriate.
Grateful for this audio guide in English. I was not able to listen to this while I was there due to poor cell service. I am listening at home and reliving this experience. Thank you very much❣️🙏🛐☦️
Versailles - don’t bother
unsavory element
We bought our tickets and the audio tour for Versailles from POPGuide. It was a mistake. I was emailed a link the day before and found the POPGuide almost impossible to download (3 tries for each of us). We also had one kid without their own device, so we ended up paying for more audio tours than we could use (had to get our tickets together). Once we got into Versailles I was disappointed to learn that there were huge areas without any info in the audio guide. I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out what to listen to before realizing there was no info for nearly the entire ground floor.There are audio tours for rent by the museum, which would have been a better choice. Definitely skip this and go with either a human guide or the one available from Versailles.
Extremely NOT User Friendly

Purchased tickets and audio guide for the Louvre. Could not load the ap with the link provided on the confirmation email. It wants you to sign in and create a pass…for a one time tour? Others in our group got the app to work but the audio was off and not synced to the actual exhibit. Extremely disappointed. Not worth the hassle. Also, those of us with time slot prepaid tickets waited in line while others just purchased tickets and walked in. No wait.🤷♀️
Missing much audio content
@Franco@
I was very excited to use this during our hop-on hop-off tour in Vienna, but it turns out that many of the stopping points list audio content but then it does not play. It will not help me but it would be great to have someone look into this for future travelers!
