The stories and history of the public squares gave insight on how Savannah grew. The ability to do a “deep dive” on certain locations were fun and well done. Seeing the birthplace of the Girl Scouts was a memorable moment.

Great sites and very informative! Wish we had more time. It was a quick trip but very worthwhile! Will do this again in the future.

Had a terrible time down loading app. Even with had 5 G. Couldn’t get sound to work. Only thing we could get was map tour and introduction by voice. The app. Just wasn’t user friendly at all. Waist of money.

Hi! This sounds like you had an issue with your data and unfortunately we can't control your data plan :(. Sometimes it says 5 bars, but if there are a lot of people using data, then the signal is slow. Also, if you connected to an internet automatically there probably was no signal.....We wish we could control your data speed, but this is out of our hands. This is a great tip, if you purchase early it's a great idea to download the tour. Then you can take it in offline mode and not have to worry about the slow signal :).
