    Cold day but left with a warm feeling.

    Sandra_S, Dec 2025
    The process of ordering was easy as well to apply it. We arrived at the starting location and pushed start and it did. We liked the audio tour because it gave another voice to the details and information of this historical site. We were able to walk at our pace and read the markers. It helped us to visualize as we looked over the scenery what happened here. A combination of past and present.

    Awkward layout of places to see if walking

    Quellfamily, Nov 2025
    Too far to walk the tour but unable to drive either. Should really have a trolley to ride and learn.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thanks for leaving a review! There is a bit of walking involved but we’re glad you enjoyed the tour overall.

    The user interface with...

    Michelle_B, Nov 2025
    The user interface with this app needs some work. Given a free-form walking tour, the app should allow for starting at any point, nearest parking for example. The map view should be clearly designated rather than having to click on Start tour to find it. The map locations could be labeled.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thanks for sharing your feedback, we appreciate it. As for the map, there’s a button at the bottom of every screen that lets you easily return to it. It’s mentioned in our QuickStart Guide, but we’ll look for ways to make it even clearer. Regarding start points, you technically can begin from any location, but the narrative/storyline builds on earlier stops, so it flows best when done in order. For that reason, we recommend starting at one place so everyone gets the full experience.

    Once I got the hang of it...

    Ashley_L, Sep 2025
    Once I got the hang of it and figured out which direction to walk, it was a neat tour. It is cool that it automatically starts when you reach certain places. I didn’t finish the tour because it was a bit too much of an uphill hike for me but the parts I did were neat.

    Perfect additive support in visit

    A good way to hear about Harper Ferry ‘s history. Technology recognizes where you are located & provides information about that site. This supports the traveler’s pace in viewing the area.
