Best ever self-guided tour

Published on Oct, 2024

this would have been one of the best walking tours I have been on, I could hear everything and not have to worry about getting close up to the guide in a group and you can do it any time you like.

Self guided adventure

Published on Sep, 2024

I loved the little personal stories of our guide. He was informative and entertaining. We even walked by his house at one point in the tour. This was the first time we experienced a self guided tour and we are now hooked. The perfect way to experience a new place.

Walking tour from cruise

This was one of the best walking tours I have taken. The app is easy to use, I’m 70, and easy to follow. The tour was interesting and gave me insight to the town. I will tell my family and friends about this great travel app.
