Aggravating!
Bruce_S
, Dec 2021
It was hard to navigate! Any time we wanted to learn more it would throw the whole navigation system off! We went the 20 mph, and it kept skipping! We took the trip 3 times! It was informative, and we learned a lot, we wanted to stop at a mansion to see if we could just buy a book!
Response from Host , Jan 2022
Hi Bruce, thanks for your feedback. We expected people would listen to the Learn More audios when safely paused/parked (especially since it requires a manual click). I see by your review that they are also being played while driving — and that would definitely throw off the smoothness of the tour. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Challenge to follow. Very inclusive and pretty routing.

We had fun falling off the route and then getting back on where we had already been. We finally decided to just stick to the road without turning into anything. It would help if the GPS indicated that we needed to turn around. However the photos of each edifice helped us know we were back on the right track. After the mansions we were treated to a ride along the coast past a state park of phenomenal beauty. Obviously, the trip took a long time.

We have visited Newport several times over the years and love the atmosphere. This was by far the best experience that permitted seeing the mansions and other points of interest as your own pace. The app worked perfect and the narration was clear, concise and very informative. I would highly recommend this self tour to everyone who wants to see amazing locations with the history of the site included. Time well spent and most enjoyable!

Struggled to get started but once we figured it out it was an informative tour. You need to provide clearer instructions on how to get started with the app, particularly the map portion. Thanks for a fun tour filled with interesting history.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
So glad that you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for the review! There’s certainly a ton of history to tell! We are working on a whole new starting point for the tour (now that Discover Newport is closed due to covid, getting starting from their location is much less clear). Thanks for the suggestion!
