Key West’s Old Town Treasures: A Self-guided Audio Tour

The app, then the tour are easy to download and easy to use. Certainly worth the money. The GPS feature works. I only wish you could take the tour in different order.

Acquiring the download after purchasing was far too many steps. Not only do you have to load a special application, but also it was vague in acquiring the download. Had to contact their help desk to complete the transaction. I am unsure of the content as I never did the audio walking tour.

Shorty at best. Audio was slow to keep up & kept cutting out all together & needed to be restarted. I seemed to have good reception otherwise so I don't know what the issue was. We were so frustrated we shut it off.

At times the directions weren't clear. The audio seemed to end before the tour was completed. Not as good as other audio tours I've used. The website itself was not user friendly.

The audio kept starting over no matter what we did and the map didn’t self adjust if we got off course. We were unable to complete the tour.

Great audio tour. Easy to use. Very informative. Make sure your cell phone is charged, as using GPS, taking pictures, and playing the audio can drain a battery quickly.

We thought we would be able to use this, even though it was designed for walking we rented a golf cart, however, being unable to change the route and pick the location you were at to hear the audio made it to where we basically couldn’t use it at all

It started raining right when we started the self guided tour. Thankfully we brought ponchos. We just kept going and the weather did not affect us learning about Key West. My husband was thankful for the experience that didn’t leave us stranded in a shop or restaurant waiting for the rain to stop. We added a few stops on the way. We didn’t tour inside any of the stops but still enjoyed it.

GPS enabled walking tour was good as long as you're going the right way. There is a a default that says you went the wrong way but there were many times we felt we didn't know which way to go. Especially when the tour guide was not talking. Overall, it was good to have some structure rather than walking around aimlessly, but could have offered more detailed about everything not just a landmark then walk more.

This was a decent audio tour. It was well narrated, and the narrator had a pleasant voice and demeanor to listen too. There was good info about the history and local points of interest of Key West, though ultimately I felt like it needed to present more information/history. Overall, it felt a little light on overall information for an audio tour. You have to download an app if you don’t already have it, and then download the specific tour that you ordered. They email you a download code for the tour. This was a mostly painless process, except for the very slow wifi at our Airbnb. Navigating wasn’t too difficult. However, there were a few instances where either I missed the audio directions given to walk to the next point, or the instructions weren’t clear. Going into the app, they have a map with the route, but it is grayed out and disabled while the audio tour is running. You can tap to access the map to see where you are supposed to go, but the app warns you that activating the app may mess up the automatic tracking of the audio tour that triggers the recordings. Ultimately, I had to access the map once to see where we were supposed to go. The app needs a way to view the map/route without affecting its playback. We decided to paise the tour halfway through to get some lunch and get out of the hot afternoon stop. It was a bit tricky to get the tour to restart. I don’t remember exactly what I did, but it took several minutes of fiddling with the app to get it to start playing the tour again. The actual route was pretty straightforward and sensible. You weren’t backtracking all over the place. You start near Mallory Square, and finish at the southernmost point buoy.

The audio was really intelligent. It kept accurate track of where we were and gave specific instructions on where to go. The information and stories provided were so interesting. A very good choice!

It was very confusing to get going. Once going it was informative. I would recommend it to a friend but I would let them know it is not the easiest to navigate getting it going

It's almost like having a real tour guide with you. Liked that the audio started when you were in the correct location.

Go at your own pace. Stops are gps activated. Stops are all very interesting and a lot of information is given.

Very informative, fun and some good humor. Very thankful we could go at our own pace and take detours if wanted. Was glad for the reminder if we got off track.

Worth the money. Enjoyed narrated walk thru town. Got turned around a couple times but I am directional challenged at times.

Really great way to experience old Key West. The GPS worked well and the map was great. The commentary was entertaining and informative. I highly recommend it. It does work best with a headset (e.g., ear buds), but my wife used her phone’s speaker and that did the trick as well.

Really enjoyed the self guided tour of Key West. Made it so easy to stop and start again on your own schedule. Highly recommend it.

Very informative- moved at our own pace. Great tour! We got a little of the history as well as some tips on places to stop. A great start to our week.

Works well if you would like some highlights for getting to know the historical area without having to do a group tour. Enjoyed historical info. Our first time to use this resource & I didn’t realize it could locate us & would wait to speak until we walked to the next scheduled place. Would also recommend having everything loaded & ready to go before you get to the starting point. I do endorse the product as you can linger if you want or even go out of order. You just receive a text telling you that you wandered off course.

For years I have wondered about Key West, so I finally took a day trip from Miami. Driving there took over 5 hours because I stopped at several places on the way. The return drive was less than 4 hours. It is somewhat of a boring drive unless you stop to see a few sights on the other Keys. I spent a day in Key West. I did not go scuba diving or snorkeling or any water activity, although there are many. I explored Hemingway's home (museum) which is very large - a complete city block. I found mile post Zero, took in a few pubs, parks, saw the lighthouse, and other tourist places. I did a lot of walking. My cell phone needed a boost late in the afternoon. I should have begun with a full charge. The locale are extremely polite and friendly, more so than almost every city I have been to. If I go again, I would take in some of the water activities, and probably stay 2 or 3 days.

This was a self paced tour of Key West. We made several stops along the way and detoured off the path. We enjoyed the tour and learned more about Key West than we would have on our own. We would highly recommend.

I wanted an orientation but not a group. This technology worked great. It mapped us and spoke when we were in the right spot, covering some of the key locations of the town. I may try this for other cities supported by the app.

East to use, with interesting information about the history of Key West. Nice variety of points of interest. Our first time in Key West and it was very informative. Self-paced which was great in the heat of Sept. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed the walking tour very much. Please note it starts near Mallory square and ends at the southern most point. We mistakenly thought it stated at lighthouse after we’d already put $30 in parking meter. We enjoyed that the tour tracked us as we walked and would just start talking about area/building as we were walking along. Hope to go back to the Keys to go into some of the places we passed by. Logged about 5 miles for the day but it didn’t seem like it.

We enjoyed this very much! We got some great history of Key West, and I forgot my ear pods so we listened to it out loud (outside, I don’t think we bothered anyone) and the nice thing was, people asked what we were listening to, and locals would offer their own stories and info about Key West - it was a fantastic conversation starter!

The walking tour was informative and gave a lot of historical information. The GPS lagged a little and we had to back track

Informative walking tour audio guide. Found a few surprises such as the first international U. S. flight! Top notch narration. About 2.5 hours for us as we took it easy.

Our cruise shipped pulled in at 7AM!! Nothing was open. We started the tour and walked past all the closed places, listening to the recording. As we walked back, we could go into the places that interested us from the narrative. At one point we took a wrong turn and about a half block in, the gps says, "Not all who wander are lost, but you are!" It was funny, but we knew we had to turn around. We look forward to doing another tour in a new location.

I can't imagine touring Key West without this. I'd have missed so much. No other tour I've ever been on is as flexible. I almost gave up on tours until I found this one. It makes the whole place that much more interesting when you know the background and where to go. I've already told everyone I know about this.
