Great alternative to guided tours

Published on Jul, 2024

I lived the flexibility of this self guided tour. The locations were accurate and the dig deeper option was really useful. I’ll always look for these type of self guided audio tours from now on. Especially when I’m travelling solo

Great value

Published on Apr, 2024

Great overview of the French quarter. Lots of information but not too much. Well paced. We liked being able to stop and go deeper or press the “dig deeper button” where things were of more interest.

Great family self-guided tour

Published on Mar, 2024

This was the best little tour for our little family. Incredibly informative, flexible for longer stops and "deeper digs" into the historical sites. The only thing I would love to see added is Rainbow Row.

This was a great solo tour- easy city to navigate and so much history. Sunny beautiful day so that helped. Incredible food along the way also.

Great tour

Published on Mar, 2024

Great self guided tour . It was a little confusing downloading but we got it . Couple spots where the horn or whistle would repeat so not sure if we missed anything .
