Easy to follow along and good information. Path is easy to follow and the stories as you're walking keep it interesting.

I had major issues with the app not starting when I would get to one of the areas. I had to keep starting it myself when I could figure out which stop I was at. It was alright for the price you pay.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Hi Lori, it’s unfortunate you had to face these issues. The manual start problem might happen if the tour wasn’t started from the designated starting point, and killing the app and relaunching it will solve the issue. The app automatically plays the stops once you’re at the starting point. If you're eager to discover more places at your own pace, don’t forget to check out my Action+ Tour Bundle for over 100 more self-guided tours.

The self guided tour was nice to have with information at hand. It went rather quickly and it was hard to follow the map while driving versus walking.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Kailee, thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Plymouth Pilgrims Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour. It seems there was a misunderstanding, as this tour is intended explicitly for walking, which could explain the issues you faced with the map and audio timing while driving. We encourage you to return to Plymouth and enjoy the tour on foot at your convenience—it remains valid for a year after your initial booking, allowing you to delve into all the historical insights at your own pace. We value your feedback and eagerly anticipate your next visit!

The beginning of the tour was great. The map was at times difficult to follow, especially when we were instructed to turn in Church Street ( which doesn’t exist). When the tour passed Plymouth Rock, the narrator spent most of the time talking about the structure over the rock, and if the narrator even mentioned the rock, we both missed it. Since there is no signage, it would be easy to miss the most important part if the tour.

Evelyn, I’m so glad my Plymouth Pilgrims Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour added to your experience with its stories. Just to clarify, Church Street is right after Burial Hill Cemetery on the left if you’re following the route from the starting point. You may have missed some parts of the tour, but the good news is that my product is valid for a year so you can listen to the stories at home or whenever you want. Let me know if you have any questions!
