Super fun! Easy to follow. Learned a lot and popped into a few shops. Would be fun to do with family, friends or solo. I would do another one in the next city I visit.
Explore Asheville's historic city center at your own pace and schedule on our smart phone guided tour on our walking tour app. Why take this to - Go at your own pace and schedule. The tour NEVER expires. - Stop anytime, get a drink, meal, explore, and continue when ready. - Listen again after taking it in person. - Professionally produced with top notch narration and music to set the atmosphere. We are going to pass many points of interest and I won’t be surprised – or upset – if you want to pause the tour and browse in one of the many unique shops or art galleries or if you want to stop and recharge at one of the great restaurants or bars. I’ll just wait patiently on the sidewalk and when you come back out, we will resume the tour when you are ready. Try doing that on a group tour!! Are you ready? I’ll meet you just outside the Asheville Art Museum at the blue orb at Pack Square.

I started using the app but I think it hiccuped because it was a very short tour. When I got back to the hotel and reviewed the itinerary, the app had skipped a majority of the planned stops.
Laura_R
This is simply an app that you download and it walks you through the town. I had a day and I was by myself, so it was fun to do. I would not recommend it with a group as you should each listen alone. It was a nice tour of the city With historical facts. The directions are easy to follow. I would recommend it if you want a quick tour of the city with a little bit of history.
Nani_S
I purchased tour for Asheville and discovered the App where there are guides for a lot of places. I tried to purchase few more guides through app but unfortunately in vain… Would be good is I could
Simon_M
It didn’t work at all. We reached the starting point, and the virtual guide sent us to another spot a few blocks away. At this second spot, we were told to return to the starting point. Then, back to the same other spot again. And once more, to the starting point. After that, we gave up and wandered around downtown without any input from the guide on the phone. A completely useless app with confusing instructions.
