It was very well done and easy to follow. We did it early on Sunday before it got to busy and noisy.

We had a great time. We learned a lot about the history of Ybor and really liked the part about all cultures living and working together

Our first experience with a smartphone self-guided tour, and we weren't sure what to expect. Based on reviews of similar apps, we downloaded & installed the app at the hotel using WiFi before leaving, to ensure we didn't have any problems during the tour. It worked great, and both the app and the tour itself were surprisingly professional. The tour great "ambiance" that was perfectly suited to the area with music, sound effects, etc! The narrator had a latinx accent (appropriate for this historic Cuban-influenced neighborhood) and his voice was easy to listen to and well-paced. The app didn't glitch, and provided good photos of landmarks and a "live arrow" to point us in the right direction. Good info on the history and culture of the area. Didn't cover everything (obviously) but provided opportunities to "dig deeper" if you wanted using links. We spent about an hour actively using the app, but stopped several times to enjoy parks, eat snacks, etc. which we wouldn't have been able to do on a human-guided group tour. Perfect for our needs. Will use this company (walkntours) again in other cities for sure.
