Reviews
This tour offers a laid-back, flexible way to explore Newport Mansions and the area. Although rain and fog hindered our first day, the ability to pause and revisit sites made it easy to complete the tour the following day when the weather was better. We saw much more and enjoyed the experience at our own speed. The tour concept is excellent.
Using this service was a breeze. We visited Newport in January, which is a quiet time of year with few tour options. This method provided a thorough way to explore the area.
Simple to navigate. Explore at your convenience. Provided excellent insights about the town and its mansions. I would certainly suggest this to others.
Great tour that was both informative and engaging. It was fascinating to learn about the history of the houses and the surrounding area. Thank you.
Initially, I struggled to navigate this audio tour. It would often go silent for periods and restart unexpectedly, even if I paused it. When we wanted to backtrack for lunch, it became challenging to pick up the tour again. Eventually, I realized that the silence indicated we were between points of interest. Some background music or audio during the quiet moments would help reassure users that the tour is still active and tracking their location.
An excellent guide that allows you to experience every moment. You can pause or divert your attention as needed without having to use your phone.
The beginning was somewhat challenging, but once we figured things out, everything went smoothly. We enjoyed the flexibility to go at our own pace and will definitely use this service again.
This experience is fantastic if you have your own vehicle. However, the app still needs improvement, as the map doesn't display on the car screen, making it difficult to drive and follow the tour.
Fantastic audio tour; I would certainly utilize it again in the future.
The tour provided a fantastic summary of Newport, its mansions, and history. Troy is an exceptional guide, making the experience truly memorable.
