We really enjoyed the narration. It was both informative with a little humor mixed in. I highly recommend!
Great experience. The vocal tour guide was very informative at each stop. The instructions were very clear. I loved the fact that I could go at my own pace as well. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Very good content, nice being able to go at your own pace and take extra time at stops along the way. Super easy use, install app, loada tour and go. And easy to stop tour for an extended period (like lunch!) and restart just where you left off. Its a long walk - so make sure you have your good walking shoes on. Mostly flat terrain with a few hills towards the end.
Well I don’t normally do reviews but feel this one is totally worth it We had chosen a tour with a guide but then the wife said let’s try a audio tour so we can do at our own pace so we cancelled the original tour and went with this audio tour Boy was I surprised my the quality and ease of the use of this app It let us pause and continue as we required and was very informative with the information given Also gave information as you went from site to site and included directions with which you couldn’t get lost and also included a easy map to see the progress of your tour I would not hesitate to use this service on another tour Thanks
This was a wonderful way to experience the tour at our own pace! We were able to go in and out of stores throughout the route and we didn’t feel rushed at all!
The flexibility of this self-guided walking tour was really helpful when we tackled the Freedom Trail on the one vacation day it rained ALL DAY. When we got miserably wet, it was great to be able to pause the tour and step into an indoor venue to dry off a bit. It was also nice to be able to "skim visit" sites which did not hold much interest for us. The ease of hearing the well-informed narration through our ear buds was so much better than trying to position in a tour group in a place where the tour guide would be understood.
After we finally got our audio going, it quit after the 3rd landmark. We were unable to retrieve our tour on our Iphone and had to continue without it.
GPS doesn't work and the directions are vague and hard to follow. Good history but impossible as an experience if not with someone familiar with the area
It sounds like you clicked "Virutal Tour". That gives a message that the GPS is turned off :). This mode is to listen anytime. 1000's take this tour handsfree with GPS :). If you'd like a refund, please email me at info@walkntour.com
It’s a fun tour lots of history. The average person should have no problems walking this tour.
Definitely start with a full charge on your phone and ear buds. We made it to the end of the walk but just barely. We learned a lot! We stopped the narration here and there to visit longer and were able to pick it up again.
