Great self guided tour. Loved how easy it was to use. Downtown Orlando is a great place to explore, it’s beautiful and not busy. Eola lake is also great to walk around.

Orlando_O

Did it while a long flight layover in Orlando. Very interesting and enlightening tour. App is good and solves the typical GPS inaccuracy by activating the audio within an ample radius (shown in map along with your location) from the site to be described. Virtual mode allows you to review (audio and text) the tour before or after being in the actual location.

Matt_M

Easy course to travel. Narrated perfectly and super informative. Love that it took us by some resteraunts and started at a place that had a bathroom.

szetka

This is definitely worth $6. Just the right amount of info, easy to follow directions, App worked well. Might recommend to do the tour before dark as downtown Orlando can get pretty sketchy.

Very nice way to spend some time in Orlando walking and learning about the city's history. Very clear and easy to follow. Good value for money.

suzanne_s

We had such a great time learning about Orlando's history on this easy self-guided walking tour. Loved learning about the area and visiting the downtown. Definitely recommend. Then you can visit the other museums and restaurants in the area. Great alternative to mass crowds. The geo-location aspect of this tour was great, it helped guide you along while sharing the stories. Ear buds might help if there was a noisy vehicle driving by but we just listened on the phone's speaker.

Ursula_M

The tour narrative was easy to follow and provided interesting cultural, historical, and architectural information throughout the easy walking tour. We only got confused at one point near the old train station. Initially we struggled a bit with setting up and figuring out how to use the app. However, we're senior citizens and not very tech savvy. We did, eventually figure it out. It would definitely be simple for younger people who have more experience with today's technology. I am looking forward to trying this in other cities!&
