Such a great experience! The walk was amazingly beautiful and the perfect way to spend the evening! It was the perfect activity for the history enthusiasts. Learned so much about Reno in one walk.

Lots of good information but GPS was wrong many time It kept having to be unlocked When you csme back over the river construction had closed down many streets.ex by Lake rd

Emile H

Good information provided along the walk. Much better than just walking around randomly on your own. Wish the tour be a little longer.

I enjoyed the audio tour very much. Lots of interesting information about downtown Reno. The app was easy to use (after I read the instructions!) I liked that it gave me a little nudge when I was off-course.

Perfect tour for Reno. The tour was informative and easy to use. Map has GPS so it is easy to follow. All directions are given verbally. If you get off track the audio guide will let you know you are not going in the right direction and help you correct your course. You can go at your own pace by easily pausing the audio guide if you need to take a break. It’s a great value for the money.

We were pleasantly surprised by this walking tour. The the tour was easy to follow, and the narrator was clear. I liked how I could keep my phone in my pocket and the app was able to track where I was and to let me know when and where to turn. Great way to get a walk and learn a little about Reno’s history.

This self-guided tour was interesting but towards the middle to the end, it starting leading directions that were incorrect or the visual map would lag and would tell you that you were off-track, but would then would refresh and would tell you that you needed to turn around and go right back to where you came. I went across 1 intersection and down one road twice before it ever refreshed. The information was interesting but it became more frustrating than interesting.

I thought this was so interesting. I didn’t know much about Reno, but this tour took us around the river and gave us historical context to what I had mistakenly thought was a boring city.
