“the narrator was very clear with the directions and had a kind intonation. the recording also gave us as much time to look at the places as we wanted, continuing the guide only after we started moving again, which provided a chill experience! the stories shared were very interesting and fun to learn about! we had a great time walking around the streets of copenhagen, discovering the many hidden gems with the guide!!”
