The audio app tour is a good one. The length is good and we could usually find stairs or a low wall to sit on while listening.
Educational

It was very educational & a perfect length so we didn’t get tired or bored. Even our teenage son was engaged the entire time.

It was good to see and learn about the history and this area. We liked the information. The information on where to go after the Lyric Theatre was not clear. I had to pull up Apple Maps to get to the park. After pausing it and trying to resume was not smooth.

We really enjoyed this self guided audio tour. It was easy to purchase online & get the free app. We liked the flexibility to go whenever we wanted and at our own pace. It was easy to understand the directions and we thought the narrator was great with good sound effects. Very informative and good length of time.

The walking directions were easy to follow and there was a photo for each stop so you would know you were at the right spot. The stories were interesting and well told. Overall this was a great app.

I loved the entire tour but particularly enjoyed Kelly Ingram Park. I think I would have enjoyed the tour even better had I not gone on a Sunday to find out everything (all buildings) was closed so I couldn't properly explore the way the tour suggested.
Great tour

Great history. Really brought the experience to life. Had a bit of technical trouble initially but a phone call to support resolved it quickly. Highly recommend
