No directions. No attempt to provide content while between stops, only at stops. Nicely recorded with pleasant voice, but very dull, with endless facts and dates but almost no storytelling. ### 5/5 — Stockholm *2022-08-04, version 1.30.4* Quite good. Looking forward to seeing Gamla Stan tomorrow. Have already done other parts of Stockholm. Very helpful. ### 1/5 — This is garbage *2020-11-14, version 1.7* This is garbage ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2020-05-07, version 1.6* With the pandemic, traveling is impossible. Going on Sherpa Tours’ remote tours may be the only way to travel right now. And the subscription is a no-brainer—each tour ends up being pennies each. **Developer response:** Thanks 63travelguru! We're going to be adding more tours soon--we hope to get to 70 cities in a few months. Michael, founder of Sherpa Tours ### 5/5 — Fantastic Oslo Grunerlokker Tour *2019-10-22, version 1.2* Simply put - Sherpa AR is top notch! I recently had a chance to visit Oslo for a few days and wanted to check some neighborhoods outside of the CBD area and stumbled upon the Grunerlokker Tour. While I normally like to plan sightseeing activities on my own, my time was pretty limited, so this app was a great solution. It took me to a neighborhood that I typically wouldn’t visit on a business trip - and led me to a fantastic food hall, along with a dozen+ other sites and highlights of Grunerlokker. I liked the ability to be able to do either the AR tour or just the GPS/audio tour guide. I’d definitely use Sherpa AR in other cities in the future! **Developer response:** Thanks Thedrumman84! We're going to be adding new cities in the next month. We hope to see you on a Sherpa tour in the future! ### 5/5 — Loving Interesting London! *2019-09-05, version 1.1* This is one of the best touring experiences I’ve ever had. The best part was going at my own pace, and clearly understanding our guide, whom I now call Ms. Sherpa. But just as great was learning really interesting details of London’s history while I was being guided around the incredible architecture of Westminster Abbey and fascinating history of Blackfriars. For example, who knew that London was first founded by the Romans?! Or that Henry the VIII became head of the church in England because the Pope refused to grant him permission to....well, I don’t want to give it all away! Really enjoyed it. Thank you, Ms. Sherpa! **Developer response:** So happy you and Ms. Sherpa had a great experience! :) ### 5/5 — LOVED IT! *2019-08-28, version 1.1* Took the free remote Taj Mahal tour, and it was an amazing tour, look forward to taking a bunch of the European AR walking tours next month on my vacation! ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2019-08-27, version 1.1* Great app - smart concept and well executed. ### 5/5 — Great concept *2019-08-27, version 1.1* These tours are incredible! Way easier than having a book out ### 5/5 — Travel Essential!! *2019-08-27, version 1.1* Must have app for any trip! ## Frequently asked questions about Sherpa ### What is Sherpa?
