About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- TripItAsYeGo0 contributionsNice try but unreliable technologyThe guide was useful in prompting us to see the best bits of the old town. But the location technology was unreliable and often started a description before we had reached a place, or described a different plaza from the one we were standing in; it was then difficult to stop it and the app sometimes hung when we tried to do so. The verbal direction instructions were not clear and the Google Maps links to the next landmark all sent us in the wrong direction - we had to check which plaza was next and input it manually. The descriptions were quite helpful and interesting, but we got as good or better information from the free suggested walking route leaflet that we were given at the tourist office.Written 1 November 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was the only English-language tour option when I visited. Some interesting facts but buggy technology spoils it a bit. I had issues downloading the app (weblink was broken) but the Sound walkers staff were helpful in assisting me within a couple of hours of submitting my query. I followed the advice of a previous reviewer and paused the audio while I navigated my own way to places rather than following the navigation in the app (which was always pinned to the wrong place). It was quite confusing but got there eventually. The tour was also quite short, with only four stops. Small town, but still, I’m sure there’s more to know about Pontevedra than four stops/stories. I got more from a google search of “history of Pontevedra”. Sound Walkers is a good concept but doesn’t really deliver on this one I’m afraid.

It was a very fun and enlightening introductory tour about the city of Pontevedra. I highly recommend this audio tour if you want to go at your own pace (though the map locations need to be fixed, as I got lost multiple times, and it would play at the wrong places)

We were so excited to visit the beautiful city of Pontevedra. The audiotape was very expensive compared to other audio tours in other cities. It miss directed us to the five places on the tour. The descriptions were very brief. There was little real information about Pontevedra except for the story about that awful pirate! There is surely more to the history of Pontevedra than was shared in this audiotape!

It took so long to figure out the steps, After a frustrating half hr of fiddling around I downloaded the app. The map sent me to the wrong places & in the end I just stood in front of a block of modern flats & listened to the audio with a vague idea of where the actual place was. A waste of time. The actors voice was good though

Dear Louise M,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly sorry to hear that the process of setting up the tour was frustrating and that the map did not guide you as expected. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide.
We appreciate your positive comment about the actor's voice, and we're committed to improving the functionality of our app to ensure that the tour is both enjoyable and easy to follow.
As an apology for the inconvenience, we'd like to offer you a complimentary Soundwalk of your choice in any city we cover. We hope this will give us the opportunity to provide you with a better experience.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to assist you in the future.
Best regards,
The Soundwalkrs Team.

We took our tour with Pedro last night 8pm and really enjoyed it! We are going to another one today at 5pm. He told us about the untold stories of Pontevedra in a very unique way that made it fun and interesting to learn and walk around town! Eventhough he's with the "free tours" he got €20 from me for an excellent tour!
