Good self guided tour to historic Savannah - Good stories, easy to follow directions, brought us to good places of interest. Reserving and downloading the right one wasn't as quick and easy as it should be. They need to simplify this so you aren't wading through all the choices trying to find the right one and with a simple download button.

So great we bought for another city - The audio tour was great! Great stops. Great history lesson. Very easy to understand the person speaking. The directions to each stop were easy to follow. It includes a map that shows you where you are with a red line showing you where to go so that you can easily follow that and see if you get off track. You can pause the tour to go do other things ( we toured an old house) ir even rewind what the speaker says in 15 second increments. We liked it so much we bought one for our next stop in Charleston.

Savannah history on-off bus ride - We took an on-off bus tour. Got off at this stop, Forsyth Park, just awesome. The fountain was the best, many pictures taken. Tree lined, just a wonderful place to relax and see the sights. I recommend the on-off bus so you can get off anyplace on the line and explore that area, back on bus to check out more.

Boring and uninformative - The gardens were lovely, the squirrels were adorable and not afraid. My husband and I learned more about the locations and homes from reading the plaques and google than we did from the audio tour. The voices used were to mechanical, not informative, and very short.

Do not recommend - While the audio recordings were informative, the app is very difficult to use, even for me, a 24 y/o computer science major. Someone who is not tech savvy would probably be unable to use it all together! Disappointed that I paid $24 for 3 people & we had to end the tour early out of sheer frustration with the app. I have done other guided audio tours that I have loved, but this one missed the mark. I recommend a hop on & off trolley tour instead.

Not helpful - It was really hard to keep up with what was being said on the locations. A great deal of personal information from the speaker that could have been minimized. I ended up shutting it off after the first location, used a map and enjoyed the locations much more. Honestly, would not recommend.
