Terrific self-guided tour - Excellent guide, knowledgeable and entertaining. The app was easy to use and it was simple to navigate with the map.

Walking tour of Halifax - We learned a lot about Halifax and saw places we would not have seen unless we took the tour. The Common Gardens was the highlight of the tour. It is beautiful.

Definitely worth it - The app was easy to use, and I loved the narrator’s voice. The entire tour was very informative, and I loved seeing Halifax in a new light.

Guide helps to keep your bearing - When we arrived at a site because the narration started — or we might have missed it. Guide explained more than the travel books.

Just a small glitch - This was a very informative tour, the history of Halifax and the notable events are well depicted in the narrative. I had a little trouble stopping and skipping the order because I didn't go in exact order of the tour, but otherwise it was very good

Audio walking tour - Really nice way to hear about highlights at your own pace. Nice to have map as well as written version of what is being said.

Good info, sketchy app - I liked the audio guide overall, good information and it’s a great way to visit the city. My only complain is that the app would often crash and I needed to reopen it all the time, very annoying!

Great app! Get familiar before you travel. - Great app and easy to use! That said, you need to be somewhat technically inclined to get the audio tour going and coordinate with the map if you aren't used to the technology. A great way to see Halifax and get some history. As my first time in Halifax, I realized that the Titanic graveyard is further out of town and is not part of this tour.

Halifax Tour Was Ok - I liked the app in general and how it would start playing as u approached the point on the tour. However, the tour points were not that interesting. Instead just walk to the public gardens and Citadel since those were the most interesting parts.
