Great narration and easy to use! We’ve used other tours from the same app, and those worked well, too.

Did not function well. Took long time to get to run. Would either start early or too late. No additional info

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Kay, it sounds like an issue with the app's location permissions—it needs location to know where you are, what you’re seeing, and what to play. The permissions are requested when downloading. I can help you re-set up if you’re still onsite. If you’ve left, I’d happily exchange the tour for any other! I think you’ll enjoy the experience once it is set up correctly.
