Great experience. Well done!

Experiencing Buford at your leisure.
Very informative, start and stop the tour anytime. This is a great feature as it allows you to experience the sites at your leisure. Done exploring you start the tour again right where you left off. The tour reasonably priced, we enjoyed it very much and would highly recommend it.

Very nice tour that you...
Very nice tour that you can do on your own and at whatever time you want. I loved that you could replay things or stop for a break and resume it later!

Worth it!
It took us a little time to figure it out, but for the price, my husband and I thought it was worth it. The narrator was good and we really liked being able to repeat any portions when we wanted. Sometimes my husband needed to stop his recording for me to catch up and vice versa. We wished we had the time to do the tour twice because there was a lot of information, but we didn't have the time. We would use them again.
J
Amazing!
This walking tour helped me learn more about the civil war and focused on the slaves at the time. Easy to follow
C
Meh
Far prefer the human touch - recommend a guide or carriage experience. The technology caused me confusion (brick and mortar gen) - but after I got tour access and found the starting point it was mostly strIgforward. The costumer service help (real human) was probably the best part of this experience …think they were eating breakfast in Maine when I called …kudos to them for care and concern. If I had similar human interaction, probably would’ve been fantastic tour…2 stars - reco ride on golf carts or horse carriages…
