Great - My daughter and I really enjoyed this walking tour. It is very well explained and it is not too long, you can also rest a little in between some stops.

Interesting tour. - It was interesting. I wish it would have said you can move ahead without getting the trivia type question correct. I eventually figured it out. We enjoyed the tour. The good thing is - everytime we stopped to figure something out, some one would stop and ask, “can I help you find something?”. What a friendly town. Even the officer in Fountain Square asked us and asked if he could share some information about the area. Shared WKRP in Cincinnati tidbits that would have been great to have on the tour info too. I think there may be free downtown audio tours - not sure.

Decent value - Entertaining, a few hidden gems, but smaller in scope than expected. Missed key points. QA aspect was interesting, but isn’t always work.

Going at our own pace. - This was very informative and helpful. We enjoyed learning SO much about Cincinnati in such a short time. It was also nice to go at our own pace. My request would be that there would be a title of each location so we know what we are looking for and a small embedded map of the cross streets without opening another map link.

Better than nothing - There are no guided tours of Cincinatti so we did this one and it was ok. However, it cost much more than other self-guided tours and it didn't have audio. The information about the stops were pretty sparse, presumably because it would have taken too long to read. We went inside the Dixie Terminal to take a look and the man at the desk gave us handouts about the history of the building and of the Roebling bridge, which were well worth getting and had way more detail than the tour.

Skip the Scavenger Hunt - We did not expect a scavenger hunt and spent more time searching for clues instead of enjoying the walk and stops. And a couple question could not be answered. Also, the idea of a smartphone-led walk sounds good until you are paying more attention to your phone than you surroundings while walking down a busy sidewalk in a crowd.

Wandering and wondering in Cincinnati - Bad technology made trip impossible. The program nver knew where we were. We had to ask other tourists and vendors. We gave up on this after two stops. It spoiled a nice day.

Not worth the money. - Way too expensive for what it was. Only “toured” a few blocks of the city. Similar tours in other cities are much cheaper, gps coordinated and much more interesting.
