    My location wasn't show on the map of this application. It was the plan of historic area , didn't connect with my location. Bad experience
    Response from Host, Dec 2022
    I'm sorry for the inconvenience you had, Olga! It seems like you didn't turn on your GPS access to the app to sync your location with the map. Also, to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.
    The stories were good but...
    Jeanne_C, Sept 2022
    The stories were good but brief and the offline version never worked and when the Internet was bad, it was like having nothing at all. Ibalso accidentally bought too many. Only one is needed for a group.
    Response from Host, Sept 2022
    Thank you for your thoughts, Jeanne! I'm delighted you enjoyed the stories. I'm so sorry about your experience. The tour is designed in such a way that no internet connection is required to complete it once downloaded. Given that the vast majority of our customers had a positive experience with us, I'm curious if this is an issue on your end. And, because this is a walking tour, we recommend purchasing it per person unless you have a speaker in a group. In addition, I have 100 other self-guided tours for other historic sites, scenic drives, cities, and parks in the United States — hopefully, you'll get a chance to try them the next time you visit! Also, just a reminder that the tour you purchased is valid for a lifetime. As a result, you can listen to it at home or during your next visit.
    Awesome, personal on your own

    We love Viator! We used the walking app in Colonial Williamsburg. Great experience. We used this company last year as we toured Gettysburg and other places. Wherever we we will check Viator!
    Response from Host, May 2022
    Wonderful!! I'm so glad you had a good time in Colonial Williamsburg, Gettysburg, and so many other places with my self-guided tours! You can also reach me at Action Tour Guide to see new and upcoming tours — something to check before your next trip!
    Good content with a few technical glitches.
    Jag_G, Dec 2021
    Good content about history of area and requires no input to start info at each stop since app monitors your progress through route. Can always repeat or pause or go to desired stop manually. Not easy to follow directions at beginning of tour from Visitors Center to Colonial Williamsburg because app doesn’t guide you to pedestrian walkway. Free shuttle driver stopped and told us how to get to Village. Along the way app and our path sync after awhile. Tour directions are also confusing around Lafayette St which is a busy road outside of Village with no sidewalks. Probably not safe with little children. If you wish to enter any of the sites purchase tickets to do so at Visitor Center before starting. Other than the two technical issues, we felt the audio walking tour was worth the money and we enjoyed ourselves.
    Response from Host, Dec 2021
    Thanks for the great feedback! We’ve already been informed on the issues at the beginning (those updates will be live by tonight) and will work on clarifying the path around Layfayette (there’s a safe route but it could be more clear on the map). I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour outside of these points! We’re also adding more content over time to make the tour even more worthwhile! I hope you get the chance to try our other self-guided audio tours at ActionTourGuide.com.
