You receive tickets and instructions by WhatsApp or email the day before. Choose an audio guide in English, Italian, French, or Spanish.

“Great combo for a morning/afternoon visit to such a photogenic (and cinematic) location in Campania. inStazione provided detailed communication and clear instructions along with train and entry ticket downloads via WhatsApp. They also provided the option of downloading apps for audio guides although I preferred to make use of the attraction's own audio guide option (similarly priced). Caserta is one amazing location to experience inside and out, from its expansive gardens to its beautiful royal apartments.

2.Porticcio: Coastal Train Ticket with Audio Guide & Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 159 reviews · from $22

Take a two-hour little-train ride south from Grosseto-Prugna along Corsica’s coast. Your French audio guide explains local history as you pass beaches and Mare e Sole, then stop for 15 minutes at Coti-Chiavari for views over Ajaccio Bay. Finish with two glasses of wine, saucisson, biscuits, and olives.

“Après un mauvais démarrage avec un trajet impossible à l'heure où nous avions pourtant réservé, suivis d'une météo capricieuse, l'expérience s'est tout de même révélée top ! Un chauffeur de trin fier de ses racines, avec beaucoup d'humour qui n'a pas peur d'utiliser la macagne sur les pinzutus que nous sommes ! Il nous a partagé un bout de l'histoire de cette île de beauté et c'est ce qu'on recherche en faisant ces activités touristiques !”

4.Amalfi Coast by Train & Ferry with Smart Digital Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 37 reviews

Meet the inStazione concierge at Napoli Centrale for tickets, a map, water, and clear instructions. Ride to Salerno, walk 500 meters to Porto Concordia, then cruise to Amalfi and Positano. You explore both towns independently, with an English, French, Italian, Spanish, or German digital audio guide and free time in Salerno before returning to Naples.

“Des sites magnifiques, mais bien trop court pour être sur place … les voyages en bateaux ont beaucoup de retard, on perd facilement 20/30 min sur les sites + le temps d’attente pour ne pas arriver à la dernière minutes. Celui du retour est parti même plus tôt que prévu donc si vous arrivez à la dernière minute, attention au risques de le louper.”

Use the VoiceMap app to follow Berlin’s first high-level U-Bahn route from Warschauer Straße across Oberbaumbrücke and beneath the historic steel viaduct to Gleisdreieck. The GPS audio plays at the right locations and works offline. Plan on walking most of the two-hour route, with only limited time on the train.

“The self guided tour is great but you spend very little time actually riding the train. It is in fact a walking tour with an audio guide that follows the U-Train from Warschauerb Strabe to Gleisdreieck. The voice app provides a lot of detailed informatiRead more”
