Easy to use, very informative and enjoyable - First time to use this type of app and found it very easy to use. The narrator was excellent, both informative, light hearted and easy to listen to. The whole package is excellent with the ability to pause and rejoin the tour or to listen to the commentary away from the tour to remind yourself about certain facts or stories. Highly recommended and would use similar tours again.

Good guide with local guide - Was great to walk at own pace and have an individual tour by some who knew the local area and history. As the tour used your allocation you could stop and look around and when you moved on the tour continued. Very easy to follow as directed where to go with very clear directions. Very enjoyable

Fun Informative historic self guided audio tour of Whitby - We loved this little self guided audio tour. It afforded the ability to stop whenever we wanted and take in the sights. The guide was fun & very knowledgeable. We learned many things we would have had no idea about had we not been told by a local. Thanks so much!!!

Cooking Kippers - Very simple to download and install app for a turn by turn review of the historical sites of Whitby, starting at the Cook memorial and finishing across on the opposite side at the Abbey. Lots of information given, well worth it to settle you in to a break in Whitby

Great guided walk. - The tour was a really great thing to do by myself whilst the rest of my family went sea fishing. It was really easy to download and follow. I really enjoyed the history and stories about Whitby. I have visited Whitby several times but it was great to have things pointed out that I would have previously not noticed.

Good summary tour - Good tour & nice manner. Pointed out things we’d have missed otherwise. Just needs updating slightly (we did the tour in December 23 -Cook Museum closed down & sculpture at the end of the pier apparently gone).
