The app is not user-friendly; I struggled to find where to enter the code to start the audio and ultimately gave up due to the lack of guidance or troubleshooting options.
This is a great option for first-time visitors wanting to explore Madison at their own pace. I appreciated being able to pause the tour whenever I wanted—like when I stopped to check out the Capitol and MONONA Terrace. With no guided tours available, this was an excellent alternative.
I appreciated the clear voice directions that enabled me to put my phone aside. Exploring the sights and history of a new city is always an enjoyable experience.
I had a great experience using the self-guided tour for the first time. The directions were simple to follow, and I learned a lot of intriguing historical facts about the city. It would be helpful to include local parking details if possible.
An excellent opportunity to explore the area and its history at your own pace. We plan to try more self-guided tours in different cities as we continue our travels.
The tour was quite informative, exceeding our expectations in terms of what we learned. It took us some time to navigate the route since we were unfamiliar with the area. Although the starting point was tricky to locate, the tour itself turned out to be very enjoyable.
I had a great time on this self-guided walking tour in Madison. It allowed me to discover the city at my own speed. The walking path was straightforward and led me to fascinating places I might have overlooked. I appreciated the historical information, which was engaging without being overly lengthy or dull, and it helped me learn about the city’s history. It was an ideal blend of enjoying a pleasant stroll while gaining insight into local heritage. I would suggest it to anyone wanting to explore Madison independently.
Excellent tour with a fantastic guide. There were several interesting stops throughout the journey. My sister-in-law, a Milwaukee resident, discovered new facts and sights she hadn't encountered before. I highly recommend this experience.
We began the walking tour at 11am on an extremely hot day. While the tour itself was not to blame, the heat made it uncomfortable to walk outside, and we ended up not finishing.
The stories about Madison were fascinating and well-articulated. I gained a lot of knowledge about the city. The route was straightforward, and we finished in roughly an hour.
