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!

The app did not work. You can stand right in the middle of the circles and nothing would play. Waste of ten bucks.

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.
