Customer Reviews
Full time traveler - so glad to find this!

I really enjoyed this walk. It was well researched and very interesting. I especially liked getting off the streets and down little historic allies I would have missed. The app is easy to use - pay attention to the map feature on the top left. That is very helpful if you stray off the route. I will definitely use Walkintours again!
Great deal! Great tour with lots of historical facts.

Very easy to take the self-guided tour. Never got lost. Best part was that you could stop and start the tour anytime, on any day and then complete it at your convenience. You could also pick up the tour from any spot you left off at. The price was right!

This was a great way to tour. We could stop and check out things that were of interest to us without having to stay up with a group or be on their schedule.
