    It was very easy to download and follow the tour. A lot of interesting facts and sights to see. An excellent way to get the highlights of Halifax.

    Wonderful tours for visit to Halifax

    Niels_D, Oct 2024
    Good value for having 3 walking tours. Seaside and churches tour are very interesting and showing the most beautiful parts of Halifax. The Halifax explosion tour is very informative, but less to see at the places. The maps showed clearly the next stops, unfortunately not every tour gave the oral explanation to go to the next stop. One aspect I didn't like was the fact that my app shot itself down after 2 minutes. So many times after listening to the information I had to login, search the tour again before I could go on with the tours.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! We are delighted that our audio tour enhanced your tours and will be sure to pass your concerns to our production team.

    A flop

    JohnC_L, Sep 2024
    I could not get the app loaded on my phone despite several attempts. Much time was spent online back-and-forth trying to get the program loaded.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    We're sorry to hear you weren't able to download the app, John. Our customer service reps would have been happy to assist. If you would like a refund, please contact us at info@tripvia.tours

    Great tour; gps enabled-self-guided.

    Dawn_M, Aug 2024
    The only thing that would make this better is having a live guide! The app kicks in when your GPS is enabled; just as you approach the location. It is informative, and the historical pictures are helpful. More would be even better!

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    We're thrilled to know how much you enjoyed the Tripvia Halifax walking tours package! The GPS activated audio is a great feature and having a photo of the points of interest as a visual reference is definitely helpful! Thank-you for the great review, Dawn!

    Nice small group

    Tony_B, Aug 2024
    Nice small group. Experiencing Peggy’s Cove was fantastic. The small group experience allowed for good discussion.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed experiencing Peggy's Cove so much, and that our small group of Halifax tours allowed for some wonderful discussion with your small group of people, Tony! Thank-you for taking time to leave such a wonderful review!

    Waking tours are great

    Sandi_F, Jun 2024
    I always enjoy the walking tours offered through Viator. The tour was easy to follow and gave me so much information.

    Thanks for the wonderful review! We're happy to hear you had a great experience!

    Halifax walking tours excellent. Highly recommend

    Rickrickyb, Oct 2023
    Awesome app. Even with airplane mode on the gps let’s you know when you are at a stop. Beware the city is very hilly. Loved hearing about all the stops and being able to do the toile at your own pace. Highly recommended.

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Thanks for your wonderful review and for recommending our tours to others!

    Dreadful experience hands down.

    Dolores_D, Oct 2022
    This was the worst experience ever trying to navigate how to use the tour on our phone. It was cumbersome, frustrate and ultimately useless. I’m calling now that I’m back in the US to request a full refund.

    Response from Host, Oct 2022

    I'm sorry you had a poor experience. There is a bit of prior knowledge regarding how to download an app and use a smartphone required. We are working hard to make it easy to understand for those less technologically inclined and have just released a new tutorial at the beginning of each tour, to teach you all about how the tour works before getting started. Please reach out to us to further explain what the issues were exactly so we can continue to improve. Thank you.
