### 5/5 — Jimmy

*2025-10-22*

Great app

### 5/5 — Exceed all expectations

*2021-09-04*

This is the best travel guide by far I have ever seen, not only for apps, but for all travel guid sites on the web. Best by far!

### 1/5 — Nothing but ads and sales pitches!!!!

*2019-10-15*

No idea how this on got high ratings. All it is is a sales platform for all sorts of tours, hotels, etc. Not even the maps are free. Not sure what is useful about it. Worst app I’ve ever downloaded bar none. Feel like I’m going to get a slew of junk mail and viruses now.

### 5/5 — Second time that helps me

*2018-12-06*

I normally travel for business to Boston. I downloaded the app about a year ago and again last week. It has improved a lot and now that it is free I am taking more advantage of it.
Just went for lunch to an amazing place that I didnt know before in the city.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much. Yes indeed we have put this product for free to simply give a better experience to everyone trying the app.

### 1/5 — Lame, free offer doesn’t offer any features you want

*2018-06-26*

Might be a good app if you want to pay. The free offer is useless.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry you have had a bad experience with the app. We are trying to improve it in a daily basis. As you may know there are many revenue models within the apps and we have decided to use the freemium model (free to download with locked content). We have never implied anything other than that. Even if you look at the app store page, it says that the app contains In App Purchases and it shows a price for each one of them. 

Please check out our new free app "Tours & Travel"

https://itunes.apple.com/app/tours-travel/id886459427?mt=8

Thank you

### 1/5 — OMG the ADS!!!!

*2018-04-17*

The app is free but it only show you ads to buy the app for $4

**Developer response:** Thank you very much and we are sorry the hear that. It is only 1 payment to unlock the content. The reason behind this is for travelers to be able to enjoy everything in an offline mode without paying for roaming charges while they travel. Even being able to use geolocalization capabilities such as GPS or Augmented Reality without being connected to your cell phone provider. We hope you understand and if you have any other question, please do not hesitate to get back to us. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Rip Off

*2017-07-02*

Don't bother downloading if you think it's free! The app itself is free but you can't use any map without paying $4 to unlock it!! Waste of time!!!

### 1/5 — Actually $3.99

*2017-03-17*

Not a free map site. Will charge you $3.99 to 'unlock' the maps.

### 1/5 — Not recommended

*2016-07-06*

This in-app purchase will not completely download to my iPad. The parts that did download are awkward to use - it would be easier and faster to use a traditional guide book. I have asked Apple for a refund and they do not respond.

### 1/5 — Bâton Travel ETips

*2016-04-06, version 3.0.18*

J'ai téléchargé cette application qui n'offre peu sans la carte. Une fois la carte achetée à 7$, plus rien ne fonctionne.
