This walking tour was super. We just downloaded one for Boston and found it very easy to learn about the town at our own pace without being in a massive tour group.

This made the walk around so interesting. The narrations automatically played when we approached something interesting. We went in the opposite order, end to beginning. And it worked fine for us. I wish there were more of these at other locations.

Easy to use app with accurate and interesting location-based narration. Maps and menu were easy to follow. Will be buying another audio tour for Charlottetown, PE!

The tour was very informative and closely matched the displayed walking map. The map with numbered circles was very helpful in knowing when a place of interest was coming up.
The tour does need to be updated to show that the Shore Path is closed due to storm damage. A possible solution is to add other points of interest such as the cemetery across the street from the library.
Overall, we were very pleased with the app and the tour.

We liked that the audio knew where we were & start & stop at just the right time. It allowed you to read the story as well.

Terrible is an understatement. We were unable to find any way to start tour. We followed directions on app but when we arrived there was NO way to start tour. Nothing we could find. After at least half an hour of trying to figure it out we gave up. So not only did we waste our time we also wasted our $.
Very frustrating!

We enjoyed walking the neighborhood at our own pace, instead of just shopping on the Main Street.
We also liked learning the history of Bar Harbor.

The tour gave us a good history of the area. It was just long enough. Enjoyed the turn around walk back along the waterfront. Only change I would have liked is less silence gaping between the stops. I kept feeling like I was disconnected.

This was a great way to get out of the car and get a nice walk while learning more about the history of Bar Harbor. We especially appreciated the ocean walk that we might otherwise have missed.

Our group really enjoyed the self-guided walking audio tour. We learned interesting information each stop along the way. The tour is linked via GPS on your mobile device. This tour is an incredible value. Highly recommended.
