The process of ordering was easy as well to apply it. We arrived at the starting location and pushed start and it did. We liked the audio tour because it gave another voice to the details and information of this historical site. We were able to walk at our pace and read the markers. It helped us to visualize as we looked over the scenery what happened here. A combination of past and present.
Amazingly beautiful area !

The town of Harpers Ferry has so much history spanning over so many years that without a guided tour, it would be difficult to understand & enjoy.

The user interface with this app needs some work. Given a free-form walking tour, the app should allow for starting at any point, nearest parking for example. The map view should be clearly designated rather than having to click on Start tour to find it. The map locations could be labeled.

This tour is not juat a rehashing of the Civil War battle at Harpers Ferry. It tells the history if the diverse popluations that have lived in Harpers Ferry, the economic and cultural drivers of life in the area. Full if interesting facts, vista's, and a beautiful walk on top of it all.

Once I got the hang of it and figured out which direction to walk, it was a neat tour. It is cool that it automatically starts when you reach certain places. I didn’t finish the tour because it was a bit too much of an uphill hike for me but the parts I did were neat.
Perfect additive support in visit

A good way to hear about Harper Ferry ‘s history. Technology recognizes where you are located & provides information about that site. This supports the traveler’s pace in viewing the area.
