Beautiful City. And informative However, App only functioned on one phone after we paid for two.. directions need work towards the end of the tour.

IllinoisSilverblue

It was a total waste of money. Never could get it to start. No customer support, tried chat and calling. Would not do again.

Will_G

This was out first time trying the Viator and Walkntour App. Honestly, it would be helpful if the directions had a large font and bold headline. It took us some time, to realise we needed to download the WalknTours app. The tour is really through the 2nd app and not through Viator, You are playing Viator. The tour was interesting, but. We parked at a location that we knew we could fit our vehicle. Basically, we were doing the tour in reverse. The app followed out location, but we always seemed to have to restart the app. It was not ideal but we made it work. There was some intersesting details provided. Again, this was our first time using the Walkntours app and through Viator, and we will know the process the next time.

Karen_H

Very easy to follow, allowing for stops along the way just by pausing the narrative. Lots of interesting history that we would have missed on our own.

Astrid_L

The narrator was great and the info very interesting. You can pause or read the info at any time. I took the tour after 6pm and it was still great. Next time I’d do it between 10am and 5pm to be able to visit some of the sites during their opening hours.

michellehZ3221YO

The directions were perfect! Lots of great info too. We particularly enjoyed listening to the history of St Miguel and Loretto.

Alan_T

Loved all the history. Lots of shops and food available along the way. Enjoyed the total experience.

Lynne C

Great app. Easy to follow walking directions while hearing the history of the area you are viewing. Recommend highly if you want to do a walking tour in your own.

foxress

Well done, very interesting information and easy to follow guide. We learned a lot. Definitely worth the price and the time

Sophia

The directions were perfect. In general very interesting historical details. The music and sound effects helped set the mood. My only complaint would be a few inaccurate comments about the Catholic church.
