Do I need to book a guide in advance or meet someone?

No. This is a fully self-guided digital product. You download the audio and map files, then start exploring whenever you like—no meeting points or advance reservations required.

Can I pause the tour and come back later?

Yes. The tour is completely flexible. You can stop at any point, take breaks, or even return another day to finish—there are no time constraints beyond the suggested 3.5-hour duration.

What exactly is included in the €19 price?

The price covers the full digital package: audio narration at each Roman site, live GPS maps with your route, detailed historical and logistical information, and offline functionality once downloaded.

Will the audio guide work without internet?

Yes, provided you download the files before starting. The GPS maps and audio operate offline, so you don't need continuous data coverage during the walk.

Is this tour suitable for people with limited mobility?

The tour includes uphill sections, uneven Roman stonework, and steep Old Town lanes. The audio guide notes accessibility challenges at each site, but not all locations are wheelchair-friendly. Check the tour description for specific site details before booking.

What's the best starting time, and how long does it actually take?

The suggested duration is 3.5 hours, but you control the pace. Starting early morning (8–10 a.m.) helps you avoid crowds and midday heat. You can easily extend it by exploring side streets or shorten it by skipping sites.

our guide Yusuf had so many stories and the little side gallery most people miss was the highlight, and honestly better than the visit we did in Dubrovnik last year, 10/10
