Highly recommend the 3-tour Halifax walking tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

A wonderful way to see the city in my own time, between my business meetings, and at my own pace! The 3-tour option for visiting locations in Halifax was perfect. When I kept the app on, I was occasionally surprised to have a description of a nearby tour spot start as I unknowingly got near to it! The descriptions are engaging and interesting, sometimes using character voices! Thoroughly enjoyable and nice to have route options to see the city rather than just wandering.

Excellent value and great way to see Halifax on foot

Published on Sep, 2024

We only managed to do the 2 tours of downtown due to illness of one of us. Instuctions were straightforward. We did part of one tour then, as it was convenient, switched to the next one (although we were doing the 2nd one backwards) and at the end of the 2nd one it was convenient to switch pack to the first one. Commentary started immediately when in the vacinity - (unless you are doing the tour backwards!) Overall excellent value, interesting and informative.

Excellent tours of Halifax!

Published on Aug, 2024

We did the 3 Halifax tours. They were easy to follow and had great commentary and information! Very Important - Make sure to follow the directions for downloading the app and tours (while on fast wifi) and then practice using the tutorials first before you embark. (This was very helpful). We used one iPhone for 2 of us and were able to play the sound most of the time without disturbing others. We did have headphones with is in case there were too many people around.
