Have phone and earbuds? All you need to learn some history! - Perfect way to explore a city when you don’t have time to take a tour. I learned about the history and discovered some nooks and crannies I otherwise would not have explored. Very affordable and easy to follow

Excellent Albany Experience - The tour was very informative and nicely presented. The only problem is that it needs updating; one of the items discussed on the tour was no longer in the spot discussed; rather, we believe it is inside the State Museum now, not on the courtyard. (The 40x70' sculpture.) Otherwise, very helpful and pleasant.

Good not great - Renovation of exterior of State Capital disrupted flow causing several detours. Also audio guides just not as good as in person guide. Hence not an excellent grade.,

Albany Capital Building Tour - The walking tour area all around the capital is under massive construction. The grounds & the building are blocked and we could not tour the area or see the building well. I tried to cancel the tour on August 13 but was unsuccessful doing so. I respectfully asked to be refunded as I believe it was your responsibility to communicate. This area was under construction. Thank you!
