We were given the option to do the tour through the brochure or the app. The app is much better — you get step by step navigation and interesting commentary.

The tour was very disappointing, especially for the amount of money I paid for it. The driver was unfamiliar with the app given her by the assigned tour company, “Pintours.” She said that it was new, and she was not given any instructions on how to use it other than "download the app and follow the directions." At one point, we sat in front of a building that looked to be abandoned in a residential area with a dead-end cul-de-sac. My husband and I, as well as the driver, just kind of sat there looking out the window very confused. The whole point of me selecting the private driver tour is that I was promised the tour guide would be very knowledgeable about the area and be able to give details on things as well as take away the stress of us having to drive on our own. Not only was the driver not knowledgeable, but the app narrator was over the top and very confusing. At one point the driver was in a near accident with another vehicle and kept apologizing. The directions on the app were very confusing, so it didn't surprise me that she was confused as well. Overall, it was not the romantic, relaxing day with my husband I had eager anticipated. On the contrary, it was very stressful. I would have been much better off saving my $600 plus the tip we gave the driver and just driving around in circles on my own arguing about directions with my husband. Pintours/Trip Advisor should be embarrassed that you charge people $600 for something like this. It’s awful.

Great 2 hour drive in 17 mile. Had a blast, and the audio tour is really engaging ! Highly recommend!

There was nothing memorable. I had a hard time following the app instructions. It didn’t say anything about having to pay to start the drive. There was nowhere to stop to start the app. Impossible to drive and follow the app. I want my $35 back.

Vanessa_H

Audio tour a complete waste. Not easy to use, not accurate, and annoying narrator. The company did not make it clear that it didn't include the entrance free.
