Great tour and app
Leland_W, Oct 2022
Seeing midtown and learning all the facts about the buildings was great. The gps was a great feature. Very good value.
Response from Host, Oct 2022
Thanks so much for your feedback, Leland! I'm thrilled that my tour of Midtown Manhattan added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other national parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US. Hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, just to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.
