Good information with a few hiccups. We were not able to listen to the tour and take pictures at the same time. Kept kicking us out and had to restart. We ended up sharing ear buds and going off one download (even though we paid for 2) and the other person took pictures.
Due to an event at the starting point we were unable to start at number 1, and ended up doing it out of order. Would have been nice for it to just have the next point automatically load when your GPS was at that location. But lots of interesting information and worth the money

Thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the information, and we're sorry the app didn’t behave as intended. You should be able to take photos while the audio continues in the background, and the GPS normally reconnects and plays the next point automatically when you’re near it. The map is also fully interactive, so you can tap any stop and go in whatever order works for you. The tutorials walk through how this works, but it sounds like your experience didn’t line up with what’s described there.
If you’re open to it, feel free to email us at info@tripvia.tours with a few details - we’d really like to look into what happened.
The walking tour was very easy to use and informative. The GPS tracking made it very easy since the audio would automatically start once you arrive at a stop. This is a great way to explore the Uptown area.
