Tour information was excellent and presenter was easy to understand. Would highly recommend and will use again. Areas that could be improved: There is a learning curve to any new process. It would be helpful if there was some way to practice rather then standing on the sidewalk in the middle of the city. Need better starting directions. Use building numbers to insure going in the right direction. Tour did cut out for some reason (apps on my phone maybe or loss of signal). It was not clear how to handle this situation. We started app from beginning and clicked on the marker for where we lost the signal. Biggest issue for us was that we each had the app on our phone and they were not in sync. One person would stop walking to listen and others were hearing nothing. Didn't know if app had quit or just was delayed for some reason. Using bluetooth with one phone and ear buds would have been much better. Still, all in all it was a great way to learn at our own pace and hope the technology can overcome these few problems to make it even better in the furture. (This was a self guided tour so did not answer your optional questions since they didn't apply)

Plenty of info about the community Nice that a native is the narrator Fun to know why the streets are in alpha order Well worth the small cost

It rained so I was unable to take the tour. Although it does seem like a cute little town. Maybe next visit.

The code you received doesn't expire Kasey – and neither does the tour, once you've downloaded it. I hope you get an opportunity to use it soon!
