    Fun adventures

    Christopher_G, Mar 2026
    Fun walk thru town to see bath houses and upper views of the town. Includes a trip to the tower as well as a second tour on the other side of town! 2 for 1!

    Hot Springs Get-away Weekend

    Virginia_P, Feb 2026
    It may have been us, however we were turned around on the walking tour as we had trouble figuring out the direction in which the tour was moving along the walk. We ended up hearing all of the stops, just in the wrong order. Can't wait for our next adventure to use this app.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Virginia, I am glad you still enjoyed all the stops on my Hot Springs GPS Driving and Walking Audio Tour, even if a few played in a different order. The walking route follows a suggested direction, but if you start from a different point, jump in midway, or turn around, the audio can trigger based on your location. If you remember, did you begin at the recommended starting point or join the route partway through? That detail would really help us make the flow clearer for future visitors, and we’d love to have you tour with us again!

    Very Informative

    Nancy_C, Jan 2026
    For someone that does not have any idea on where to start, this is a great way to do it. Step by step this guide was very informative, I purchased it only because I had a credit covering most of the cost but now that I tried it, I would definitely try it in other vacation spots.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

I love hearing that trying it once made you confident to use my tours in other vacation spots, too. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and support.
