    Great self-guided tour

    Paula_B, Jan 2025
    A great self-guided walking tour. The earthquake must have been so devastating for the town. Highly recommended

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the self-guided walking tour and found it insightful. The earthquake indeed had a profound impact on the town, and it's touching to see how much of the history and resilience shines through. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you on another tour soon! 🌟

    Worth doing to learn about the earthquake and fire damage in 1931 and the resilience of the people

    Great concept. Enjoyed the short walking tour. App was a little clunky at times but got it sorted. Would have liked a bit more signage and pics along the trail but very informative.

    This tour was very informative and...

    This tour was very informative and easy to follow on our mobile phone download. We had a lovely day to walk about this very quaint and friendly town. The narrative on the tour was interesting and we loved being able to do it at our own speed, stopping at the various points of interest and listening to the comments while we took pictures and looked over the various buildings. A very inexpensive way to learn about the history of the Art Deco evolution following the earthquake. Another plus is that the narrative we still have can easily be matched to our pictures in our photographic record of our tour. We enjoyed it very much!
