This is our 4th guided GPS App Walking Tour - they're generally a great way to explore an area on your own time at your own speed and without breaking the bank. This one was easy to follow but missed a couple of places we wanted to see, including the convention center and Red Hat Amphitheater.
A great informative tour and the tour is just the right length

It is difficult and confusing to coordinate the map and the speaker. The speaker talks quickly. If you take this tour you need a physical map plotting the route. We ended up just using the map and ditching the speaker. I would guess most people taking this tour are not familiar with Raleigh or the street layouts.

Minus: Wrong tour loaded, so I had to pay twice. Difficult to toggle back & forth between tour app & map app. Locations didn't always align. Plus: The tour content was interesting and informative.

I was in Raleigh for work and had some time to kill. Since I was staying downtown, a self-guided tour sounded like a fun way to learn a little history on my own time. This hit some high points and also gave me a good lay of the land. Highly recommend!
Great tour! Very convenient!

I really enjoyed this option for a walking tour, it's a fabulous idea. I was not constricted by time or other people. I went at my own pace & paused whenever I wanted. Instructions were super easy to follow & information was interesting, I just had 1 earpod in as I walked. The route was not super long & all the sites were close by. The destinations chosen were interesting & had great photo opportunities. I highly recommend trying this tour!
