The user interface was not intuitive, and the information was general and superficial. Save your money

More convenient than going in a group. Easier to go at your own pace. Very informative. Nice to rewind if you missed any information.

We did this walking tour this morning. After a little glitch with us downloading incorrect app, a quick call to Greg resolved the issue. He was super helpful. We really loved the self paced relaxed tour. Easy to stay on track, easy to listen to narrator. Highly recommend. Great value!

Nice little tour, in Downtown. I've lived in Dallas basically my whole life and never done the JFK stuff. It was a nice afternoon.

Very clear instructions, informative, and entertaining.
Just the right length.
The 15 second rewind didn't work for me.

The on-phone narrator could not locate where we were. We ended up entering the arched start and going round in circles upto the tram / railroad. We decided to switch off the whole app and explore by ourselves . We got a better experience taking random walks around the park.

This audio was well done and gave you just the right amount of history and facts. It was easy to follow and we enjoyed the directions and sound effects

The tour was full of information and guided me along very well. I would have taken lots of pictures. Unfortunately, it was 111 degrees and my phone became too hot for the camera to work. I would do it all again on a cooler day. I would recommend it to anyone looking for this type if experience

I'll rate this experience as 5 stars. Because, along the way, I discovered a few things I didn't know about the city; and it let me visit other venues. It will be nice if the app gave hints about parking slots close, as much as possible, to the start point.

Loved how the app followed you are you walked and that you could pause or even just read the text. Nice set up that allows you to go at your own pace. Nicely done!
