Tour was a fun - The Smartphone Guided Indianapolis Downtown Sites Audio Walking Tour was a fun and convenient way to explore the city. The audio narration was clear, informative, and easy to follow, allowing me to discover the history behind Indianapolis' most iconic landmarks at my own pace. I appreciated the flexibility to stop, take photos, and continue whenever I wanted. The route covered many interesting sites, and the location-aware audio made the experience smooth and engaging. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking for an affordable and self-guided way to experience downtown Indianapolis.

Walking downtown tour - So this was amazing and I did it with my 19year old nephew who loves history. We did the entire tour and then went back to the museum to take a long time to look around. It was to use and the GPS kept us on the correct path. I will try this in any other city it is offered ! Thanks

Seamless, Informative, and Fun — A Great Way to Explore Indy! - I really enjoyed this self-guided walking tour of Indianapolis! The app worked flawlessly—it was informative, easy to follow, and the directions from one stop to the next were perfectly on point. I loved that I could step into certain sites and then seamlessly pick up the tour where I left off. It made exploring the city both flexible and engaging. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or wanting to learn more about Indy at their own pace!

Informative Walking Tour - Overall it was an informative walking tour. Who knew there were so many war memorials in downtown Indianapolis?
It was a bit confusing at times as to what direction I was supposed to walk for the next stop.

Good itinerary. Most buildings closed - Since there are no guided walking tours in Indianapolis, this is about the only option. The route and sites pointed out on the tour were good. I just wish there had been a mechanism to tell me the hours of the buildings and museums that the guide was encouraging me to visit. For example, the war museum closes at 5:00. It seems a fantastic museum, but I should have done it first. Also, I would have enjoyed hearing general history about Indianapolis while I walked between stops.

Less Than Expected - Do not use the walking directions provided on the audio tour. Preplan the directions using a map. Suggested buildings to view the interior were locked.
