Great walking tour of local highlights and history. Enjoyed the variety of spots and topics. Focused on history, architecture, local culture and attractions.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Judy, I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed my Portland Maine Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour. I’m thrilled that you appreciated the variety of spots and topics, from history and architecture to local culture and attractions. Suppose you are interested in finding more of Maine. In that case, I recommend the Self-Guided Driving & Walking Bundle of Maine Tours, which includes tours of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and additional opportunities to explore Portland. Each tour is designed to allow you to enjoy the sights at your own pace, much like you explored Portland. I look forward to joining you on more adventures in the future!

Street signs are not well marked and the app is a bit slow to catch up. It was nice that it did talk as you walked.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Nancy, I’m glad you enjoyed listening to my audio tour of Portland, Maine, as you explored the city. I’m sorry to hear the street signs were difficult to read. I’ve passed your comment on to my team, who will look into it. However, if you could share the specific locations where you faced issues, that would be helpful. Starting from the first point and following the route usually helps keep the audio in sync. If you need any help, I’m just a call away—available daily from 9 to 6!

My family and I recently took the Portland Tour in March 2024. Unlike traditional tours, this one allowed us to explore Portland's sights at our own pace. The engaging audio narration was informative and well-told. We learned a lot about Portland's history and culture. Overall, it was a fantastic way to explore the city, and we would definitely recommend it!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for letting me know that your family had a great time exploring Portland with the help of my audio tour! I am delighted to hear that the narration enhanced your experience and enabled you to learn more about the city's rich history and culture. If you are interested in discovering more of Maine, I would like to recommend the Self-Guided Driving & Walking Bundle of Maine Tours, which includes tours of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and more opportunities to explore Portland. Each tour is designed to allow you to enjoy the sights at your own pace, similar to how you explored Portland. I look forward to joining you on more adventures in the future!

The app did not work. You can stand right in the middle of the circles and nothing would play. Waste of ten bucks.
Response from Host, Aug 2023

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced. The products you purchased are valid forever, so if you ever decide to revisit Portland or want to listen from home, please try it.
