I enjoyed this tour! This is the second time I purchased it; the first time was very confusing but this time it was great!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Tammy, thank you for taking my Martha’s Vineyard GPS driving and walking audio tour. I’m so glad you enjoyed it and found it well worth the money, especially after your first experience felt confusing. I’m happy this visit went smoothly and turned into a great tour, and just as a note, my tours are valid forever, so you can revisit anytime without purchasing again. If you’re planning more adventures in the area, don’t forget to check out our Massachusetts Bundle. It features Salem, the Freedom Trail, and more—ideal for exploring the state’s rich history and charm.
The app is very confusing and not helpful. It failed to discuss what we were seeing and does not work well with the route we traveled.
Response from Host, May 2026
Sonja, I’m sorry to hear the app felt confusing. Please share what was unclear so I can continue improving the experience. Once the tour is redeemed and downloaded in advance, you simply need to launch the app at the starting point and follow the provided route, as the audio is triggered by GPS along that path. It sounds like the route may not have been followed, which can affect how the narration plays. I’m available daily from 9 AM to 6 PM EST and would be happy to help you get the most out of the tour or troubleshoot any issues you experienced.
The ap kept going ahead of us. Didn't allow for speed limits, missed turns, etc. (Streets are poorly marked in MV). Very disappointed in it.

Scott, I’m sorry to hear that my Martha’s Vineyard GPS Driving & Walking Audio Tour didn’t work smoothly for you. The tour is designed to use GPS-triggered narration, so the audio should play based on your location along the route, but I understand how frustrating it must have been if the app seemed to move ahead or if turns were difficult to follow on poorly marked streets. Did you download the tour before starting, follow the suggested route from the starting point, and keep location permissions enabled throughout the drive? If you contact support with your booking details, I’d be happy to look into what happened and help make this right.
Was great to try out. Had a couple of dead spots where audio cut out. We will definitely try it again.

Dana, I’m glad you enjoyed trying out my Martha’s Vineyard audio tour and plan to use it again on your next trip. To avoid audio cutouts, follow the route closely and adhere to the speed limit shown on the app—this helps ensure the GPS-triggered stories sync properly. If you're looking into more destinations, we’d love for you to try our Massachusetts Bundle. It includes Salem, the Freedom Trail, Cape Cod, and more — perfect for diving deeper into the state’s rich history and charm.
Me and my husband used the system for the first time for our anniversary trip. The beginning of the tour was a little confusing because even though we downloaded the tour beforehand it still wouldn't let us start when we got to the start point. Once we got it up and running it was fun, informative and easy to navigate. The only rocky point was trying to navigate back to our car from the ending of the walking portion. We pretty had to follow our step in reverse. Over all we liked the navigate and would use it again in another state.
