    Walking Tour Great, Unable to Connect to Car Audio, Ending Not So Great

    David_M, Oct 2025
    Great audio for providing history and entails. Was unable to connect to car radio so played on cell phone burning minutes. For some reason it cutoff inside Forest Park and never gave directions for next site to leave the park nor did it provide an ending. We tried multiple timee to reset it and even drive around to no avail. Needs fixed. Other than that, good concept.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    David, I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced with my Saint Louis Self-Guided Driving and Walking Audio Tour. I appreciate your feedback and would like to learn more so my team can investigate. Could you tell me which route or section inside Forest Park the audio stopped working? Also, did you start the tour from the recommended starting point and follow the designated route? That usually ensures the GPS-triggered stories work smoothly. For car audio, you can connect via Bluetooth instead of CarPlay for now — full support is coming soon. Please contact me anytime between 9 and 6 EST so I can personally assist in resolving this or provide a replacement.

    Travel directions were easy to follow. Narration as we went along, especially at the Arch, was informative and interesting. Enjoyed this tour.

    It was great but the GPS...

    Nicholas_C, Jul 2025
    It was great but the GPS did not work the best as it did not recognized street closures. We made it work though and will do it again!!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Nicholas, sorry to hear about the trouble with the GPS—street closures can definitely throw things off sometimes. I’ll be sure to update my listing if there’s a closure in the area. The good thing is, your tour stays valid for a year, so you can always revisit and catch any stops you missed once things open up again. Glad you made it work, and even happier to hear you’re planning to do it again.
