Nice Walking Tour - Nice walking tour that provides some history. I like that it isn't too long and helps you get oriented to the Old Wharf area.

Lots of History - This was definitely a cool experience. We saw things we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. There were a couple times we had to backtrack. I don’t know if we got ahead, or way directions were worded we got confused. Either way we enjoyed our time doing this.

Autumn Walking Tour - This was a nice alternative to the guided tours. Allowed you to go at your own pace. Audio was clear and quite informative for the history and buildings of Portland. Recommend if guided tours are booked up. Only challenge - you have to download a second APP to start the tour. This was in the directions but just not super clear. Works on both Apple and Android.

Inexpensive and very informative. - Lots of history packed into an hour. Distance is probably 2 miles. App works great. Very detailed directions. If you have a pair of earbuds, you can share one tour with your spouse/other.

Fun walk! - Your phone needs to be on the proper setting for the location to work accurately. Once we figured that out it was great!

Fun and Informative Tour - Have sturdy shoes as the brick and cobblestone pavements were rough. Make sure that the audio plays back well, as we had to download a second time to correct an audio malfunction. The narration was good. The speech was clear and the pace comfortable. Overall a good experience except for our download glitch, and that could have been on us.

The classical music as you walk is great. - If you are off track, it want let you know. We walked for 2 miles and realized we were off track. It just played classical music, which was good, but not informative enough to let us know to turn back. Needless to say we did not finish since we had to get back to the ship. It was leaving.

Disappointing, irritating - The app was a bit clumsy. Comments were sparse with little real historical information. The speaker was redundant and sounded like an irritating AI voice. Overall, there are many better audio tours available

Poor experience- NOT USER... - Poor experience- NOT USER FRIENDLY unable to connect with tour. At first I didn’t see where to enter the code. After consulting via chat they were unable to help me as to where to enter the code. After chatting with the 3rd person I was told where to enter the code but the code was then expired. When I did the chat they said to call tour manager by then we gave up. :(
