Easy to use and pause... - Easy to use and pause when needed. The only thing I would like to see added is the oldest Christ Church where Washington, Franklin, and Ross attended.

We’re from CA and having the your helped us get oriented around the Old City for easier navigation afterward. - My 17 year old and I enjoyed listening at our own pace on our own devices. The pictures to match and the map helped. The pause and app lock were also great features.

- Love the information, the directions for walking, the narrative while you walked- loved it! I love informational Tours but don’t always enjoy being in a big group trying to hear what the guide says, I also like the flexibility to start and stop when I choose. Greg and his customer service made the I ital set up super easy! Great deal!

Great Time in Philadelphia. - Highly Recommend ! You can go at your own pace and pause when necessary. It rained on the day we were scheduled but since it does not expire we went the following day. That's another great benefit. I texted multiple questions and got a friendly personal answer to all. Great information and well done.

College trip + vacation - User friendly. Owner responded immediately and helpfully when we had a question. We liked being able to move at our own pace. Suggest bringing airpods and starting early in the day to purchase tickets to some of the sites.
