We drove at our own pace while the audio filled in the history; highlights were Federal Hill views and the Fells Point segment. Easy to follow and worth it.

Highly recommend for a flexible and informative experience; it felt like having a knowledgeable personal historian in the car!

it’s way to hard to drive listen and map alone especially in baltimore and in the car i could t keep it on map and sound of the story running simultaneously so i had to have the map on my phone the story was playing on my car and at EVERY story you should stop and pull over because otherwise you drive by it and miss it

We enjoyed learning the history of the various sties . It was defintely easier to manage with two people in the car and would be a bit harder solo. The navigation did run askew at one point catching up so we missed some sites . We also got sent down a one way road but no harm. Overall it was a great way to see some of the city esp on a very very hot day .

This was a fun experience even if the GPS function isn't the best. Would do this again in different cities.

Great historical stories. Interesting points of interest. The app for the tour is NOT user friendly. Would not recommend.

While I rated this to a five stars, I wish there was an option to graded 4 1/2. The only issue I found with the tour was if you drove or walked into the next checkpoint it would cut out the story that you already listen to which Were all very very interesting. I’ve seen that other people had complained about this as well but assumed they were just going too fast. When I was driving, I was barely moving and still got through checkpoints. I had to go back around the following day and actually pull over to the side of the road or stop walking so that the narration wouldn’t get interrupted. side from that, it was a really great tour, very easy to use and well and truly worth the small fee asked for to set it up

Great information but we had trouble at times getting it to work. I think it was the connection in the car in the downtown area.

The app would jump to the narration page, losing the map and by the time I got the map back up to figure out where we were, we had missed a turn. This occurred over and over again. One leg of the trail took us to a dead end. Disappointed.

I enjoyed the stories. Hiwever the driving directions weren't adequate for a 1 person driver in a city like Baltimore. Wasn't easy to follow. Ended up quitting and just listening to the stories.
