It was a good little tour for the money
Great short walking tour of DTO. Easy to follow & we learnt quite a bit on the Sunshine State. Good value & highly recommended
Great, clear historical explanation and accurate. We like the ease instructions on how to use the app.
My wife & I enjoyed this very much. It was April & therefore very quiet which tbh, was lovely. The Fee was very reasonable & we thought was very good value. The Tour took c. 90 minutes which was perfect. We had a lovely interaction in the Public Library where a man at the Information Desk voluntarily approached us & provided us with the assistance we needed to get us on our way. A nice way to spend our morning.
The self guided tour was easy to use. Shared historical information. The tracking of us as we walked was amazing. Highly recommend. Will look for audio tours in other cities.
We stumbled across this audio tour for Orlando and we are so glad we did. Informative, leisurely, entertaining, accurate and easy to follow directions.
This was such a fabulous tour. The f you’re into history, this 1 hour audio guide can be made into a full day of exploring downtown Orlando. Pack a lunch, sunscreen, and an umbrella. From the library, to the swan paddle boats, to the train station— and ending at the museum of history…. this was an amazing day of adventure
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!&
Great historical tour, easy to follow and safe. I would recommend for anyone wanting to get away from the commercial vacation hustle and bustle.
Informative, fun, easy stroll through the city center . Highly recommended for all ages. Can take at your own pace. Learned a lot about Orlando history preDisney
I think it was a wish fulfilled because I had set out to make a tour of certain iconic Magic Kingdom shows, which I had attended, with my 3 children, as children, and whose memories still remain indelible in my mind.
The trip was a dream, a wonderful and unforgettable experience, full of fun and special moments. It is the perfect destination to enjoy as a family.
