Great self-guided tour, unfortunately bad AI voice
T8141ZEfabiank, Feb 2025
Tour with website and audio worked great.
Unfortunately, the voice for the audio guide is the classic Google translator voice, which always delivers strange emphasis and also speaks too fast in my opinion.

Maybe try chatGPT instead
Culture787757, Sep 2025
I'm not sure if it's just me, but both my guest and I felt like the concept of this tour was great but the execution was middling at best. It was nice to see the sites of Rennes, but there was maybe a maximum of 15 minutes of actual content to listen to, most of which was very repetitive and vague. It felt like the actual guide content had been written mostly by AI, using many of the tropes that those programs use to sound intelligent. However, chatGPT is free and this was not. I think you'd at least save some money by using an LLM instead.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re really sorry the tour in Rennes didn’t feel as engaging or detailed as you hoped. Your comment is fair, we’ll take another look at the content to make sure it offers more depth and less repetition.
All our stories are written by real people who know the cities pretty well, but we clearly missed the mark this time, we've shared your feedback to Fabio, who currently lives in Rennes.
Thanks for the honest feedback, it truly helps us improve for the next travelers.
Great Self-Guided Tour
johnmC5256TD, Aug 2025
This was an awesome self-guided tour. You can stop & start the tour at any point and proceed in any order, if you prefer. The information provided at each stop was just enough to pique our interest and remember the experience forever. Amazing history of Rennes and the region. If you are here in 2025, access to the beginning of the tour is a little awkward because of construction. No problem, be flexible and enjoy.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback John! 🙌
We’re thrilled you enjoyed the freedom of exploring Rennes at your own pace, that’s exactly what Ciceru is about. It’s great to know the stories sparked your curiosity and left a lasting impression.
And thanks as well for flagging the construction near the starting point, that’s super helpful for us and future travelers.
Hope to guide you again soon on ciceru.com

Informative and easy to use, this was a good way to visit some of the best sites in Rennes at a pace that suits.
The "app" was easy to use and I completed the tour in 1.5 hours.
