Not worth the $$
Cheryl_D
, Jun 2022
I was unable to get the app to work correctly, even after 3 tries. We did better on our own with a map.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hi Cheryl, I’d love to help you get set up. Once you have the app downloaded on your phone, the tour is a straight and simple walk down the Cliff Walk! Support is available over call, chat, and email (all linked in the intro message) and if you’ve already left, I’m happy to exchange this tour for any other. Let me know!
Not necessary.

The Cliff Walk is incredible. PLEASE note: the red sections ARE HARD!!! But Why buy this guide when you can get it for free from the city?? It skips. It starts over. It repeats itself. Not a total waste as the bavkground information was good.
Response from Host , Nov 2021
We created this tour for the simple reason that it offers more than free versions do — after all, you could always just use Wikipedia when vacationing! This is meant for visitors who want more.
The “welcome” audio plays each time you re-start the app. However, this doesn’t mean the tour is starting over. It picks up where you are. The best practice is simply to keep the tour running while on the cliff walk because then the welcome won’t re-play.
Other stories will appear to skip or repeat if directions like “pause and look” were not followed. The tour naturally works best when all instructions are followed.
If you feel that the issues you faced were unique, please feel free to reach out! We care deeply about our tour and test it regularly across all types of devices. We’d love the opportunity to improve our app.

The only way to walk the walk.
Lois_R
, Oct 2021
This was the perfect way to walk the Cliff Walk. There was so much interesting information offered. Without the self-guided tour, it would have just been a “pretty” walk. With the tour, we learned so much and had immediate answers to questions raised as we walked by.
Sometimes starting backwards is not all that bad. It worked for us!
John_H
, Oct 2021
Our walk was delightful. By pure accident we started backwards of the audio. The map showed some rough terrain at our start but the trail was worth it. The audio program worked automatically and was great informative company along the way. My only suggestion would be to somehow allow for a reverse option. Since we started at the end and worked our way towards the audio beginning we had to look back to match audio to visual. Great experience. I would recommend this self guided tour.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Good to know! As you mentioned, walking the Cliff Walk in reverse requires looking “backward” a bit but it’s great to know that this wasn’t a problem (and we will definitely consider a standalone “Reverse Tour” too)! If you enjoyed the self-guided experience, we have more tours at ActionTourGuide.com. Thanks again!

The link to the audio tour was broken when I got there and I was unable to use the audio tour I purchased for 3 people

Audio crashed on pixel, couldn't recover

, Aug 2021
The program crashed and lost the so-called download (that's not what is considered offline mode). Further, cell coverage was weak so we couldn't re download. Unacceptable! We want our money back as you ruined the cliff walk experience as I fought with both my phone and my spouse's!
GPS challenged battery eater
Sean_M
, Jul 2021
The info in the audio was interesting. However, the code didn’t arrive that quickly. The download of content took multiple tries. The GPS was never accurate, so it would skip whole areas to the point where we had to watch the map to see if it had passed an audio stop or not, and at the end, it had chewed up 50% or more of the battery.
Response from Host , Aug 2021
Thanks for your feedback. We don’t usually see reports of poor GPS on the Cliff Walk — it’s a well-serviced area. I’d love to know what type of phone you were using. We’re working on delivering the password faster but are constrained by the time it takes for your order to reach us in the first place. Thanks for letting us know.

Wonderful guide on challenging walk!
Erica_P
, Jul 2021
My sister and I had a great time with this challenging walk! It was so helpful to listen to the audio guide as we walked. We actually started from the end of the Cliff Walk as was suggested to us. The map gps connection adjusted to that.
Great experience

Loved it. When we went it was foggy out but still was a great experience. Rocky area isn’t recommended for ppl who are unstable in their feet. Also wear proper shoes!

Beautiful, scenic and a rugged challenge too

It was longer that expected (that's a good thing), just be prepared. Bathroom facilities were available only once early on the walk, with an inoperable water fountain (due to COVID). At least one large water bottle needed. We made it too Ledge Road, some spots seemed impassible. Free parking at College after graduation. We were there May 23.

Great View

With good weather, it was worth it. We enjoyed it. It was. A little difficult because we have somebody in wheelchair.
Very poor service
Nessa_L

Don’t waste your money on this. Password was not sent in time so couldn’t use the service. There are free downloadable guides plus information points along the way
Response from Host , Mar 2021
Overall we’ve done our best to have multiple levels of contact to make sure that everyone can take the tour. The tour app and password links are sent by both text message (under 5 min) and TripAdvisor/Viator email (15-30 min). Occasionally, the automated email system goes directly to spam or is delayed. But in those cases, we’re very reachable by chat, call, or email, as well as an online “resend password” form.
In this case, the text message sent on time but we weren’t notified that the automated email hadn’t sent. By the time we re-sent the email, it was too late for your plans. We already initiated a refund, since it’s entirely warranted. (Additionally, you still have access to the Newport tour for your next visit).
Our tour goes beyond the free signage on the walk.
We would love to share a gift card with you for a future tour with us so that your next experience can be great. Please reach out!
Informative walk

Good information as I passed the sites. Much easier To have the narration than scanning the QRS scanner sections in front of each attraction. Only downside is in between some of the attractions a lot of the recordings were repetitive. I’m sure there are other little facts that could have been supplemented. Would I recommend this to someone...yes!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
