This series of stories about buildings is great as far as it goes. But I wish the guide author had connected the dots. Events happen over time and the lack of a chronology makes the events less comprehensible. A walking tour is not able to replace a history book. But it can connect the dots better.

Great waking tour. At your own pace. Stop and go as u like.

I really like this app and the tour I purchased downloaded and walked. The only problem I had was that after I closed the app when I took a break from the walking tour for lunch, it appeared that it was dumped from my phone and needed to be downloaded again. This would be a significant problem in the middle of the city with no WiFi and slow cell service. As it happened that was not the case but the app needs to be clearer and more specific about a safe way to pause or stop the tour and reactivate it later with a minimum amount of stress. Also beware that to have the app running continuously over a long period is going to eat the phone battery. Carry an extended battery pack or charger just in case.

This has been a great app to use as you travel to different cities. It gives you enough information for each of the different stops to understand and you can always take deeper on your own if you want. It’s a pretty leisurely tour and the great thing is you can stop and take in a site or even talk to locals. At one point in Charleston I stopped and helped a lady take some groceries in and actually got to go inside the building that the tour was talking about. What a cool experience that I would never of gotten doing a normal “tour“

We had a great tour through Copenhagen, learned a lot, did it at our own pace. Loved it. Highly recommend.
