Monaco Formula 1 Circuit Self Guided Walking Tour with App

2.Monaco Formula 1 Circuit Self Guided Walking Tour with App

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $6Best value

Follow a self-guided audio and written tour around Monaco’s 3.3 km Grand Prix circuit. The app maps the route and explains famous corners, drivers, incidents, Casino Square and Port Hercule. It takes about 90 minutes, costs $6.75 per person and works offline after you download it. Bring your own phone and headphones; there is no human guide.

“We visited Monaco and my 15yr old is a big F1 fan and wanted to walk the track. I personally am not a fan but having the audio made it interesting for me and it was very accurate as to where we were on the track and detailed the history of the corners and different drivers. My son listened to it aswell and he found it interesting. It was very easy to download and use and I would definitely recommend it for the price as a good accompaniment to walking the track.”
