Even after finding a strong wifi connection it took too long to download the tour. Once it finally was ready it wouldn’t sync with my location so I couldn’t use it at all. Waste of time and money

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the Baltimore tour. It sounds frustrating not to have the app sync properly, and that's certainly not the standard we aim for. I'd love to get more details to understand what went wrong and ensure it doesn't happen again. Please reach out to me directly for further assistance. If you prefer, I can process a refund or offer you one of our other 100+ self-guided audio tours as a replacement. Your satisfaction is our priority, and I hope we can make this right for you.

We flew in to Baltimore early in the morning and had some time before our hotel was ready. This tour helped us stretch our legs, fill the time, and learn some history at the same time. It worked great with our two 7th graders. This is the best way to bring history alive.

Audio narration was really good but cut off each time the directions came on and we were unable to go back and continue with the audio and had to skip to the next stop which was frustrating as it was interesting and then we never heard the ending.

I'm sorry about the issues you experienced with my Baltimore Audio Tour. It's intended to provide clear directions from the start and cover all notable landmarks without missing any, so it's disappointing to hear this wasn't your experience. We also missed a chance to help; our support team is available 24/7 to address such concerns. Given your experience, I'd like to offer you a refund.
