I loved this tour! - The tour was so informative, fun, and easy to use—loved being able to pause whenever needed to explore somewhere or pop into a store.

Don’t overlook this one - One might question the quality of an audio tour, but I am here to tell you it was an exceptional experience! The guide gave very clear directions of the city and the history behind each point addressed in a way that was easy to follow and absolutely informative and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend you consider this tour next time you’re in the area.

Walking Tour - excellent guide - I found the directions of where to go excellent. My only negative is I wish it said the distance to next stop in approximate steps, kms, miles, feet, etc. What would be most applicable.

Excellent and affordable tour of the Old Port and beyond - I've been going to Portland for years, but stayed on the same few streets in the Old Port. The tour took us on new streets with interesting architecture, parks etc. I'm not from Maine so I enjoyed learning the history. Good narration and the length was just right.

Easy way to learn about Portland as you walk - This audio tour was an excellent way for the two of us to see places in Portland that we may not have noticed otherwise, and included very good context and historical information. It was a very cold day, and it was extremely helpful that we could still navigate and listen while my phone stayed in my pocket. The verbal instructions about where to go next (which way to turn, etc.) were very easy to follow. (The only hitch was the statue of the lighthouse, which can no longer be found at 234 Federal St. - although Google still listed it as being there. I just submitted an edit to Google.) The length of the tour was also good, with flexibility to start and stop, go inside somewhere, etc. We downloaded the tour to one phone, and each of us used one of my airpods.

Such a Disappointment! - Giving up the audio and walking around on our own. The narrative, although informative, gave poor directions in terms of which way to go and which way to turn. It seems we were always headed in the wrong direction. Instead of enjoying the sights around us, we were trying to keep up with the audio- not a pleasant feeling.
