“This self paced audio walking tour was great. The tour covers many areas in Halifax and because we were in control of the pace had plenty of time to investigate further the locations. The map easily brought us to the tour locations and with the GPS link it was great as you arrive at the spot the audio narrative begins. Allowed us to also take a break when we needed. Loved this tour very much worth it!”

5.Discover Downtown Regina: a Smartphone Audio Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 7 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours (approx.) · from $6Best value

Explore Regina’s historic core with a $6.72 GPS audio walk featuring heritage buildings, trivia, flexible timing, and offline access.

“Worked well. Liked the geolocation. Could just walk down the street and when I passed a site, the audio would automatically start playing. The details for each place were brief, but interesting. Only complaint I have was that the tour did lead me down a street that was under construction and I wasn't sure how to get around it, so I ended up missing about 5 of the sites on the list. In addition, it routed me down a street with a bunch of homeless people and drug addicts, but probably can't blame the app for that.”
