Paying for the walking tour was easy but getting access to the tour was very frustrating and cumbersome. It wasn't very clear that you needed to download a second app to access the tour.

I enjoyed the self guided tour through Portsmouth, NH.
I did find it a little bit confusing with the directions at times.

This was a fun way to explore the city and to learn a lot about the history of Portsmouth. We learned so much and the the ghost story is, we just added fun! It’s a great way to walk around and learn the history and stop and pause to go in anywhere you want along the way. Just a heads up the bar at the end is permanently closed. Apparently they experience some bad flooding and just couldn’t keep up to code with the bills. Sad. It looked like it would’ve been a fun way to end the tour. I feel for the owners.

For the price this is a great value. Portsmouth has a charming extensive history. This tour provides a guided walking tour of some notable historic buildings that I have certainly missed on previous visits.
The haunted aspects provide an effective way to learn local lore, historical importance and focus. Who knew that Portsmouth was integral in the Underground Railroad.
The tour is about an hour and an exceptional value. I’ll look forward to more self guided walkntours while I visit other cities!!
