Difficult to use when distracted, but I could see it had a lot of work pit into it

4.00First, let me say, I could tell that someone worked hard on the app. But I found Difficult to navigate when having frequent interruptions (no fault of the app). We had a fretful dog with us, and every time I had to deal with the dog, we messed up the app. Accidentally skipped or didn't hear a part that went something like this "facing the ___ turn left.." Veyr clear, but if you miss that, you're toast. Also, I hated having it speaking while people were walking nearby. I could have used earphones, but we forgot ours and I'm not sure I could come up with 2 working sets anyhow. SO, I tried to access the written part, but it was difficult to find - I kept getting sent back. It could have something to do with location-sensitivity? Anyhow, I'd recommend taking a long look at the app before starting. That said, I'm very accustomed to apps, I just found this one VERY difficult to navigate unless I could give it my full attention. I'd suggest making the map and/or written version much easier to opt into.
Interesting tour

5.00It was an interesting tour. We found out more history and facts that way. We walked around Taos to areas that we did not know about prior to taking the tour. Taos was a wonderful area to visit. We enjoyed the walking tour app so much that we did another in Santa Fe.
Informative and easy to follow

5.00The tour was easy to follow and provided allot of flexibility being able to pause, backup or fast forward so you could shop at the same time. The day that you go make sure all of the museums and shops are open on that day and time

4.00We enjoyed the tour. However, don’t pay for the Bent Museum. It is now $3 not a dollar and a huge rip off. We loved the Blumenstein Museum. The first museum which looked interesting was closed on Tuesdays. Overall, worth it
I really enjoyed this!

5.00The route instructions were easy to follow, and the map feature was very helpful when I got a bit turned around after detouring around some temporary sidewalk construction. I really enjoyed learning a bit about the history of Taos - thanks! I'll be using this during our travels in the future.
Great intro to Taos.

5.00This tour took just about an hour. Once you pay you have to download the free WalknTours app on your device. Then you listen to the tour as you walk along. The directions given were easy to follow and the information provided was a good introduction to the town. I’ve been coming to Taos for years but learned quite a bit with this experience!
Excellent, I learned so...

4.00It’s very basic. I learned a couple things I didn’t know. I’d take future visitors to our cabin. Worth the time.
