Great tour!

It was busy when we did this tour on Sunday afternoon. hard to completely pay attention to the narrative when surrounded by so many people and vehicles. It was still a great walk and we were able to do some side quests and jump right back in. The information is all transcribed so you can read through it later. There was a big pile of barf at the gate of the Tolomato Cemetery. Perfect for the story of the Bishop. I was definitely queasy.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear you had a "great walk" and appreciated the tour's flexibility to do "side quests and jump right back in." We understand how distracting a busy Sunday afternoon can be, and we're glad the transcribed information helped you follow along later! That detail about the Tolomato Cemetery certainly added a memorable, if queasy, twist to the Bishop's story! We appreciate your business and hope to guide your next adventure.

It actually is a great...

It actually is a great app we loved it. Don’t reason why I gave it four stars because I was dumb and forgot to pack anything warm because I live in Largo Florida and it doesn’t get this cold so it’s my fault but it really is a five star thing because it was fun to walk walk around, but we also got lost.

Operator response

Thanks for the review! Sorry to hear the weather wasn't great... the tour is now yours so you can do again if you get back to St. Augustine, when it's warmer :)

The app was hard to use and complicated to navigate as well. It didn't tell us the names of some places when we arrived and it took us to random places in alleys and then out to the bridge. And told us to go forward as if to walk over the bridge... Very confusing and disappointing because I paid for 4 people such a rip off to me... So sad it's my babies 18th birthday and she created her own itinerary this year and out of everything this was the only one that disappointed her.

Operator response

We apologize for any confusion or difficulty you experienced navigating the tour. There is a map with the directions and points of interest listed as well as text with each audio. The tour is in a very old historic district which includes narrow streets and walkways. We try to make our tours as user-friendly as possible and will take your comments into consideration.

We had an INCREDIBLE...

We had an INCREDIBLE time. It worked PERFECTLY 😁 My phone would vibrate (I was holding it) and then the narrative would start. This was great due to the fact that some areas were a bit noisy. The stories were interesting, walking directions easy to follow. We had followed the directions to download ahead of time making everything flow perfectly. We will definitely try some other tours and recommend to others. Downside...the information # people have NO idea what they are talking about. Called about the "Tickets"...we were told that yes this included a ticket into the fort...no go. We live near St. Augustine so we didn't quite believe that an $8 ticket was covering a $25 ticket into the fort. I would have been upset if I was traveling and truly believed this information. Otherwise, alot of fun! P.S. We started this just as it was getting dark...total fun!!

Operator response

Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed it. I'm assuming the VIATOR staff had us confused with another tour. The tour does not include a ticket into the fort, so there must have been some confusion on their part. Thanks for being understanding.

Interesting App but with flaws

This is an App which used locations. After purchasing it was difficult to find how to use. After finally finding the App info buried in the purchase information, the app worked great at alerting us to haunted locations. IWe could then start playing the script which was well done but would stop playing half way through which is why I give it only a 3 rating. Fortunately, the script was provided, so we could keep reading along. We were able to only accomplish about 6 sites because of the difficulty of finding how to use & flaws in play back

Operator response

Thank you for your review. Regarding the instructions, yes we agree it is a little hard to find. We are working with VIATOR to make it easy to find. It sounds like the initial download was interrupted, possibly by a poor or intermittent signal. We recommend having a strong WIFI or mobile signal for the initial download, however if that does happen (audio cutting off) uninstalling and reinstalling the app will fix the issue.
