This tour offers tons of information on 16 sites in just 90 minutes. Layed out well, filled with humor and tidbits. Covers colonial times, Revolutionary War, Civil War and World War II sites.

Our pace. Our way. Great. Had the ability to stop and start as needed. We enjoyed walking by ourselves.

I have done many self paced audio tours before, and I rather like them. This one failed all over the place. The app was way too cumbersome and not user friendly. You had to make accounts/verify etc. all in a clunky 3rd party app. You couldn’t skip around easily on the map, you HAD to go in order, which is sort of lame in a city type place where there are multiple ways to get places. All that would be forgivable if the actual tour was good. It was emphatically not. There was so little information given about the sites, my family and I listened to it as a joke towards the end. One to two sentences maximum per stop. And less info than you would get if you read the first two sentences on Wikipedia. Save you money, and more importantly, your time.

Hi there, I'm sorry that you were disappointed with your experience. All VoiceMap tours follow a set route; this is how we can match audio times to travel times and include turn-by-turn directions. The route the tour follows helps to build that narrative, which is why our interface is built around starting the tour in the right place at the start location and following a set route. I'm sorry you were disappointed with the content of this tour. I will flag this with the publisher and see that any necessary updates are made. If you contact us at [email protected], we would be happy to process a full refund and give you a credit for a free tour. Regards, Brent
