This is cool!

Being able to follow the route with GPS took the scariness out of roaming through a foreign city for the first time.  When will you have a tour of Paris?

Loved having Chris Thomas King guide me through the French Quarter. The tour was fantastic and the MUSIC!

Good Narrators.

The voices were charming.  I particularly liked the Italian fellow.  He was like a friend leading us through his hometown.

Great Family Tour

First time bringing my family to Washington and it was pouring rain.  Your tour was the perfect answer to the question, “What do we do on a rainy day?” We jumped into our car and using the tour saw so many things Washington DC is famous for.  At the most interesting locations, such as the National Cathedral, we parked, jumped out of the car with umbrellas and experienced the awesome cathedral.  It was a fun day!  Thanks.

It was shocking to me to see how many Hollywood tours were being offered on the streets and their high costs.   I went with your $6 tour and found to be much more than I expected.
