Efficient and cost effective tour

Published on Oct, 2024

This audio tour worked exactly as expected. It was very easy to follow the directions and the audio played when we approached each location even with our phones on airplane mode. There was one very large art piece along the way (Tidal Beacon, 2022) between stops 15 and 16 that I was surprised was not included in the tour. It was a very efficient and cost effective tour that started near the cruise port. Highly recommend!

Immigration museum

Published on Apr, 2023

Well worth it, so much information provided. The immigration museum was fantastic. You can do a family history from immigration to Canada and print the information. It's awesome

Worked exactly as described-excellent guide

Published on Oct, 2022

Loved that the app was easy to install and operate. It came to life at each point just as described. Wish there were more similar for USA, UK, Sydney and other major tourist spots. Great it you like to walk and explore at your own pace

Helped make our walk more interesting

Published on Sep, 2022

I downloaded the app and the tour on just my phone and it was handy as the 5 of us walked as it would make us stop and take note of different things. We didn’t actually do the entire tour I don’t think but made the walk along the boardwalk more interesting and informative.

This is a really well-rounded, quality tour

Published on May, 2022

This is a really great quality tour, esp if you like travelling solo. I got a very complete lay of the Land with their boardwalk and city tours. It’s self guided yes, but really well done
