Cleveland was magnificent - A great insight into the history & architecture of Cleveland. The guide covered the information quite quickly so we had to pause and restart often to enable photos and time to absorb the information. A beautiful City we loved exploring.

Loved the tour! - A great experience for us. The length of the walking tour was perfect. It also had a nice feature that allowed us to pause the tour whenever we wanted and then restart when we were ready. We learned so much about the history of downtown Cleveland that we never would have known. Thank you!

Excellent Self Guided Tour - Walking tour was excellent! Once at starting point, the tour guided you to the next location. Easy to follow along. Information was both historical and cultural. Interesting. Would do another of these tours in another city.

Excellent overview with some technical glitches - Excellent walking tour of downtown Cleveland, OH. Very informative and for the most part, the technology worked. There were a couple of times when we had to restart the or move the recorded conversation back to where we were physically located in downtown Cleveland.

Perfect way to learn about the city and plan your trip. - This is the third smartphone tour we have taken with WalknTour and it did not disappoint. Great way to learn about the city at your own pace. It was very informative and will use this in all future tours.

Never again! - The unit itself is fine. The price was good. The problem is with getting access to the apartment. The instructions given by the company that rents the unit are insufficient and overly complex. We needed help with every step and the help was not prompt or easily accessible. The individuals who provided the assistance were kind and understanding, however. It was as though they understood that gaining access to the apartment was an overly complicated and difficult process.

Overcharged. No refund. - For about $10, this would be worthwhile. Unfortunately, when I purchased the walking tour via trip advisor, i was charged $9 by Viator and $32 by WalkN Tours. I called Eric and explained. He advised I must have purchased a subscription for the year. I did not mean to and I cannot make use of a subscription. He did not refund any money. So, my self guided walking tour cost me $41 in total.
BEWARE!!
