Grey screen

The app just doesn’t work for me. I click on a tour and get a grey screen I can’t get out of and have to crash it to get out of.

Response from developer

Sorry that's what you experienced. That's not how any adventure should start. We're a small team and we take this seriously, so please email hello@myguideguru.com with your phone model and the tour you tried to open. We'll dig in and get you exploring. The MGG Team

Crashed phone

Never had a chance to use the app because it crashed my phone while on vacation. I had to wait until my phone died to reboot it because it was stuck with the setup notification which locked my touch screen. I deleted after I finally was able to use my phone again because I was not going to risk this again since my phone had all of my travel info on it.

Response from developer

Really sorry to hear this, especially with your phone locking up while you were away and relying on it for everything. A crash during setup that freezes the touchscreen is a serious bug, not something we take lightly, and completely understandable that you didn't want to risk it again with your travel details on board. We're a small team and are actively looking into what causes this. If you're willing, drop us a note at hello@myguideguru.com with your device model and iOS version, it would genuinely help us track down the fix. Thanks for the honest feedback. The MGG Team

Really loved it

My expectations were greatly exceeded. Perfectly timed, guided, informative and fun guide.

Response from developer

Fantastic to hear you enjoyed the tour. Timing, storytelling and a bit of fun is the mix we aim for on every tour, and it's great to hear it all came together for you. Thanks again for the brilliant review. MGG Team

Perfect for a Business trip

In Copenhagen for work frequently but hardly make it outside. This app is perfect if you want to stroll around for an hour or so and actually see some of the city. Loved the ‘near me’ feature.

Wasted visit

The tour generated through this app had 8 stops (though the actual map locations for these were off). After the second stop the audio also stopped leaving me in the middle of the historic section of the city (where I had only 1 afternoon) without any guidance - completely useless. In addition I sent an email to their helpdesk (you have to pay for premium to access support in app) which wasn’t responded to. Overall, while this is good as an idea it is appalling in execution and overpriced as a result. If I’d had time I would have found a real guide (as I try to wherever we go) but this was just a severe letdown.

Really sorry your afternoon in the historic centre went like this, that's exactly the moment MGG is meant to make easier, not harder. Audio cutting out mid-tour and stops not lining up on the map are both bugs we take seriously, not something you should have to navigate around with limited time in a city. We're also sorry your support email went unanswered, that's not good enough, especially as a paying customer. If you're willing to try again, please reach out to hello@myguideguru.com with the city and tour name, we want to look into this properly and make it right. Thanks for the honest feedback, it helps us fix what's broken. The MGG Team

Clean and simple

The Bologna tour was super easy to navigate.

Great for small towns

Super helpful for exploring small towns where other apps and tours aren’t available.

Stories make the difference

Used it in Rome and the storytelling was fun. It isn't just a bunch of boring dates and names.

Good length

Found the length of the tours about right. Cordoba didn’t have too much info, but not too little either. Was just right for me.

Perfect for unplanned days

If you love exploring cities on foot, this app is a must-have. Super easy and fun

Very easy app

A must-have for frequent travellers. Easy to use and very informative!

Great but drains battery

The Dublin tour was lovely. Just make sure you charge up before you go because you are on your screen the whole time.

Good but small map issue

My London experience was pretty smooth for the most part. I needed to connect back up to wifi to download the map, but the route was easy to follow and I’d definitely use it again.

Better than expected!

The Panzano Italy tour was easy to follow and worked well! I couldn’t find another tour available so it's great if you like to get off the beaten path! I honestly just wish it had a few more stops included but it is a super small town.

Loved the bike feature!

I love exploring on two wheels because you can see more. Love that this app has a bike option.

Hidden gems

Amsterdam completely surprised me. I hadn't done any planning before arriving, but the app brought me straight to some genuinely fascinating places, and the stories behind each one made it all the more worthwhile.

MyGuideGuru has completely changed the way I explore cities!

Brilliant storytelling through your headphones at whatever pace suits you. The stories behind the places are genuinely fascinating, and the fact you can pause, detour, or start whenever makes it very flexible. Used it in Europe and couldn’t believe how much I’d been walking past without knowing!

Hidden prices

It teases you with a tour idea, forces you to fill in all your data and only then reveals the price for a tour. Be transparent and tell people the costs up front. Immediately deleted and will look for an honest App.

Spain, Morocco and France

We’ve used this excellent app in all three countries. An excellent addition to any travel experience. Great history, good hidden food tips and leaves you feeling better informed. A must have!

Spain

Used this great app throughout Spain. Gave us a much clearer understanding of the history and background to the things we saw and visited. A must have app!!
