Worth doing - Really comprehensive, well-paced and interesting. We can totally recommend it. We arrived a bit late in Williamsburg but managed to whiz round it and eat an early evening meal. You can fit the tour to whatever pace you choose to adopt.

Great way to do a walking tour of Williamsburg. - The audio tour worked very well. I enjoyed being able to walk at my pace and go into buildings & shops that we found interesting. The app picked up perfectly when we jump back on the path and hit the next highlight. The only real concern we had was that my battery became very low on my phone… but it made it. I would recommend making sure you’re fully charged before your tour!

Recommended - Once I connected at the bridge, the app worked well and was very helpful. I went with their advice and did not buy the $50 ticket and that was fine. I would recommend but do your homework before you arrive.

Williamsburg - Learning the history that I wasn’t much interested in in school. It’s impactful when standing in the middle of history.

Williamsburg phone app review - Too much walking without explanation. Also, the lack of WiFi and battery depletion on phones. The app download process was not clearly explained

Okay but a not limited - The tour was okay but often the audio was short and pretty basic. I was expecting more than a 30-45 sec description. There were a lot of things that we walked past that weee not mentioned. The radius of the gps could be expanded cause we walked past a few points that did not rigger the audio cause we didn’t walk down the middle of the street.

Not Happy at all - We ordered the tour on line in the car driving up from Florida to New Jersey and wasn't told over the phone that we couldn't down load the tour at Williumburg because they don't have wifi so we went 30 miles out of our way for nothing. The woman we called said there was nothing she could do for us since it was mentioned in one of the multiply emails you sent us.

Self guided tour didn’t work! - Not able to use the tour. Booked on Wednesday and email with log in info didn’t come until Friday. Tried to use the chat feature but got no reply. (And yes , I was getting other emails etc on my phone). This was a total waste of money for me
