This was so easy to follow and it was nice to go at our own pace and stop whenever and wherever we wanted. We had never done a self guided walking tour but the app was easy to download and follow. The narrators voice was clear and pleasant.

It was so interesting and easy to follow. Made my solo tour enjoyable. Being able to pause when I veered off course to stop in a store was a nice bonus. You can’t do they with group tours.

Great way to get your first glimpse of the historic downtown walking and listening at our own pace. Downloaded app for 3 of us easily.
