History I did not know - This audio tour does a great job of giving you the history and significance of buildings in Santa Fe. Easy to use and because it uses your location the audio only comes on when you are near that building. Well worth the $15. The tour does not end where you start … so you will need to walk another 20 minutes back to your car.

Pleasantly surprise with a great app & tour - The self guided walking tour was so easy to use. The guide was very informative. The app was easy to skip forward or go back. Was concerned about bad reviews of the app but we didn’t have any issues.

Nice way to learn history - Informative. Great way to learn about the historic nature of Santa Fe. The fact that it was self-paced was great so I could stop along the way at things that interested me.

Great experience in Santa Fe - We took the self guided tour of Santa Fe NM and it was very well done. Extremely informative and a wonderful walk-through main points and highlights in the city. We loved that you could start and stop anytime and pick right back up where we left off. We will definitely use in other cities and areas.

Great Way to See Downtown Santa Fe - Loved the commentary and voice! Very interesting history…well done! The audio didn't always start at the next place and we had to check with each other as to whether it was on to the next story. Would have love to know that the final push was up quite a hill and climb. I would definitely recommend it to others. A great way to see the downtown at your leisure!

Good information!!! - Overall, this was an enjoyable tour. The narration was good and had interesting info. It was supposed to auto-play when you reached a certain spot, but sometimes that was glitchy and you had to press play yourself. Other than that, it was good!

Eccentricities - I had to call a customer service rep to help me get the tour started. I couldn't find clear instructions for starting it in the viator app. Didn't need the viator app but it insisted I did. Only need the action tour app. Map narration instructions are not thorough. They don't say left or right, or which street to cross often enough. Many times I had to backtrack. Speaking of backtracking, I wanted to start in the middle of the tour, and then backtrack to the beginning. The agent said that was not option. But after the tour somehow started as I was crossing points in the middle, it did repeat the points for me as I progressed from the beginning. There's no instructions explaining the circles or colors on the map. I finally figured out that there's a range for each point as shown by the circle on the map. However, the location is finicky for those circles. Sometimes I had to cross the street to get the narration to trigger. I enjoyed the narration but it could have been more straightforward. I spent entirely too much time trying to install the app and figure out the eccentricities of the software.
