Excellent Self Tour - I wasn’t expecting too much based on the low price for the tour, but I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. The app worked well and was easy to use. The couple with us has lived in Portland for several years and they didn’t know hardly anything that was explained during the narrative from the tour. In short, it was a great experience.

You are in control - This worked really well for us. If we missed something we could just go around the block. It was nice to be in control and in your own car. Would recommend.

Great intro to Portland - We enjoyed it very much. Wish it went to a beach that was off beaten track but that’s only thing. Narrator was great and lively. would have even loved it a little longer.

We took the whole tour and learned a few new thing! - We went at our own pace. We missed a few things because gps wasn’t syncing. Overall, pretty cool concept and will definitely recommend and do it again.

Portland Audio Tour - Was a little hard to figure out how to use the audio tour. However, once we read the instructions and experimented, it seemed to work well. Construction in the area dud not help. Still, a good cheap tour on a rainy day.

A frustrating experience - This was the most difficult tour to follow. We got lost and had to turn around and find the tour three times. We saw some points of interest many times because of wrong turns. Although the stops were interesting, we were too frustrated to enjoy anything. We will avoid tours from this company in the future.
