“The content and stops were interesting and well chosen, but I didn’t love the app experience compared to other audio tour apps I’ve used that include built-in navigation. The route could’ve been planned a bit better—some stops felt out of order, which led to a bit of unnecessary backtracking and walking in circles. Still, the tour itself had solid information.”

“We had a great time with a very personal beer tasting. We got the opportunity to taste several great local craft beers and learned more than I had ever imagined about tasting, brewing methods, origins, history, information about the local town and many other things. Our host was extremely pleasant and easy to converse with. He did most of the talking and just poured out an incredible amount of knowledge, yet also asked us questions underway about the tastings and allowed us to actively partake in the experience. Overall a very positive experience that I can heartily recommend!”
