A very informative and interesting tour. We did it at our own pace. Technical support for the tour and app were great. Greg at WalknTours has a great product.
Explore historic Springfield and hear Lincoln's history and the stories behind the sites connected to Honest Abe. Go at your own pace and schedule. Advantages of this tour? Our app offers immersive location aware walking tours navigated by your smart phone. Go at your own pace, on your own schedule and on your own terms. It's like a real life tour guide. Best deal in town. We use professional narration, production and music to bring the history to life. Walk at your own pace and hear the stories of what you see. Stop anytime. The tour never expires. Listen remotely after taking the in person tour. You’ll see his old home, his church, his office, the buildings he frequented, murals of Abe and the places named in his honor. And I’ll share with you his coming-of-age story from a one room log cabin in Kentucky to becoming the 16th President of the United states.
