“Wow, what a walking tour! When I first was told about the new SelfTour App walking guides I was suspect. I’ve spent many years as a travel expert and there have been many conversations about this type of walking tours but none good. Then I received the information about the SelfTour GPS guided tours and I downloaded the Historic Philadelphia tour.
I was amazed at the quality of the tour. The multiple voices, the dramatic music, the selected route of the tour and most impressive is the amount of research that obviously went into the tour all combined to make it a wonderful listening experience. It very effectively utilizes the capabilities of GPS and the smartphone. And the price is certainly low enough that anyone can afford it. I applaud SelfTour for its efforts and skills that went into this outstanding tour. Now I’m anxious to review the other tours SelfTour has available.”

There was not enough emphasis on the role of black folks and their contribution to this city. Our forefathers were not all musicians. They contributed in many ways to the building of the French Quarter and its history.
Loved the ghost stories.
More time could have been spent talking about the culinary aspects of the Napa area. It is obvious that good wine goes with good food.
Too much driving on all those small roads, especially in the St. Helena area, so we gave up part way. What we did hear of the tour was good.
Enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed the back roads the tour featured. Narrow tree lined roads, picturesque landscapes, charming houses, and some hidden wineries where you could sample some very good wine for less. A beautiful tour through a beautiful area. I’d do it again.
Great Winery Choices I was surprised at the great choices of wineries included on the tour. It was a nice combination of old such as Buena Vista, spectacular such the Amorosa Castle, and big sellers including BV and Beranger Bros. The tour covered the entire area so we got to experience champagnes, white and reds. …
The crowds in certain areas were overwhelming to walk through. The information was a little too much about early Hollywood. But overall it was a nice experience.
It was shocking to me to see how many Hollywood tours were being offered on the streets and their high costs. I went with your $6 tour and found to be much more than I expected.
I liked your Star Walk tour. Walking along the many stars was more fun having someone tell me who, and about, many of the people honored.
Tutto bene! (SelfTour’s Translation: “All’s Good”)
Good Narrators. The voices were charming. I particularly liked the Italian fellow. He was like a friend leading us through his hometown.
Being able to follow the route with GPS took the scariness out of roaming through a foreign city for the first time. When will you have a tour of Paris?
I found this tour to be an excellent mixture of ancient history and contemporary commentary. I was most amazed at the number size of the palaces along your well-selected route.
Great Family Tour First time bringing my family to Washington and it was pouring rain. Your tour was the perfect answer to the question, “What do we do on a rainy day?” We jumped into our car and using the tour saw so many things Washington DC is famous for. At the most interesting locations,…
I found the GPS to be a little off at some of the site locations. It didn’t get us lost, but it was a little confusing at times.
I took this tour on a very hot, humid day and thought I was going to die. Thank God for the snack vendor outside the Air & Space Museum. Since I found the tour very worthwhile, my recommendation to others is to break it up over two days.
Along the way I wished there was more historic details. But then when finished I appreciated the fact that too much info would have bogged down the overall experience. The tour kept me moving along to more and more fascinating locations.
This is cool!
You need to have a children’s version of the tour. They would learn so much about the history of the founding of our country and actually experience the history.
Loved the tour. It was an easy walk and the music and narrators made it fun.
Mind blowing I’ve learned so much about historic Philadelphia on your tour. I am a Quaker so to know Benjamin Franklin was a Quaker, among other facts was mind blowing. Just seeing the original cobblestone and original materials they used was amazing as well.
This tour is very interesting. I enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed the SelfTour GPS guide app of the historic area of Philadelphia. I was very impressed with how easy it was to follow along. And I like the way various founding fathers were brought to life through hearing them speak their famous lines. Wonderfully entertaining and a great learning experience.
Amazingly Entertaining It’s hard to describe how engaging and entertaining this tour is. It is like the spirit of Hollywood encapsulated in a short walking adventure. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the walk of fame, and / or those looking to learn more about old Hollywood.
Great walking tour Thanks you for putting this tour together. It was very informative and kept us interested with all the added music and voice overs. We liked being able to tour at our own pace.
Worried that we couldn’t keep up with a walking tour, we decided to try this app. We made a great decision! Loved being able to go at our own pace, go off the beaten path, and pick up when and where we wanted. Highly recommended!!
Loved having Chris Thomas King guide me through the French Quarter. The tour was fantastic and the MUSIC!
“Easy, fun, informative tour — I found this tour to be exceptionally good. We drove the entire route and found it to be fun and very informative. The turn-by-turn directions were easy to follow. We stopped by several wineries, and found Calistoga charming. Without this helpful tour we would not have enjoyed our visit to…
“Best buy for the money. I took the tour half way in two leisurely days. Perfect.”
“It was our first trip to the Napa wine area and we would have been totally lost without this app. It not only took us to a lot of fun places, good wineries and some places we never knew existed, but was enjoyable to listen to. My husband and I highly recommend it.”
“I have been to Sonoma and Napa several times, but I always ended up doing the same thing because I didn’t know were to go or what to see. Using your app opened my eyes to a lot of things in the area that I would have never seen. All the info about wine making…
