A walk through history - The directions were clear and the stories interesting. Timing a bit off for us but allows you to stop and reflect. Use the pause button.

Excellent alternative way of doing a walking tour! - Really straightforward way of doing a walking tour at a time that suits you, and at a pace that suits as well. Easy to set up and follow, added links in the app and good audio quality. Content was excellent as well! Recommended.

Really enjoyed this well-narrated, flexible walking/driving tour - Great option to take your time to see the important sites. It was really hot that day, so I opted to drive from stop to stop, instead of walking. Since it was Labor Day, the entire downtown area was desolate, so I could pull over and didn't have to look for parking. The narration was easy to understand. The sound effects really added to the experience.

Highly recommend you , wonderful experience! - It was really nice. I didn’t know before that Montgomery was that rich and deep in history. I just thought it was like most historical places in the South. I like that the tour is self-paced and you choose whenever you want to get started. I would definitely do self paced GPS again ! Very informative and I liked they also would play actual voice recordings (MLK, jr.) on some landmarks.

For the Culture - The navigation in the app was paced well and accurate. I recommend visiting the museums along the way to cool off. The Rosa Parks museum was exceptional. Although it's not on the tour, visit the Alabama Bicentennial Park which is a spectacular bronze statue Park right before the Alabama capital.
