Luved the personality of the narrator. And the tour brought to life so many experiences I otherwise would have missed.

I could pause and resume the tour and take the tour at my own pace. Overall, a very nice experience.

The app was really easy to download and full of fun and interesting facts about the town. The concept is really good and I'd be interested in other tours for other cities. I did find the GPS to not work well sometimes and it got me lost trying to follow it. I'm not sure if that is because I was not using it live, just downloaded.

This audio tour was fantastic, guided by our friendly guide each step of the way. I loved that it gps enabled. We used it during Kiel week so there many food stands throughout the tour route which hampered our ability to see some things. Really enjoyed Kirk as a guide! Made it fun and kept us moving! Hope he comes out with more of these for other cities we may visit in the future!

Ok so there’s not a lot to see and do in Kiel, but this tour does a great job of giving an overview of the city. He tells interesting tidbits of its past. The directions are step by step and easy to follow.

We downloaded the walking tour narrated by Kirk Wilson. The self guided tour app works really well and is easy to follow. We started by being guided down the harbour and then towards town, through the parks and pushing at key points, statues, buildings, etc. Kirk provides a really good insight into Kiel. In a little over an hour we learnt so much about the history of the city. Better still Kirk has a great sense of humour with plenty of fun and banter along the route. We even took up his suggestion about team and coffee at Heyke’s. We only wish the tour was longer and perhaps took in a brewery or two. All in all it was excellent and lots of fun. There is a real freedom to doing a self guided tour and it is so easy too. Thanks Kirk, great job!

A good way to experience Kiel where you can both see part of the city and hear about the city's history. Kirk is a good guide and narrator - it went flawlessly.

Leuke en informatieve uitleg over historie en bijzonderheden van Kiel. De stad is niet heel interessant, maar met deze uitleg is de tour zeker de moeite waard.
