Great self driving tour

This is a great idea. Just download the app and start driving your car once your at the starting point. It starts telling you about the area once you arrive in that area. You can also pause it if you want to stop at a certain place on the tour. Easy to use, just like being on a…

Great introductory tour

Great introductory tour if you want to drive around getting your bearing of Newport, like a private tourbus. It was easy to download and install, I did it at home with a good wireless. It is kind of impractical to drive around at 20 m/hr in mid-city to listen to the tour. So I…

Newport from your car

We did have some technical issues but those were handled by a phone call to the provider. It was a great way to experience Newport in a Covid safe environment of our own car. The tour gave good background info and the map was easy to follow. We enjoyed the experience.

Very Disappointing

It took numerous attempts for the tour to download. The tour than froze multiple times which had us having to stop frequently and wait for it to reconnect. This led to a very confusing and frustrating experience

I’m sorry about your experience! It sounds like the tour didn’t download properly— it needs a strong wifi/signal for that part. Please connect with us for the next steps.

Rain day tour

This was beyond well done. Our first day in Newport was rainy and cold so we got this tour. It was a great way to see the town. Highly recommend

I 100% do not recommend this.

This is definitely a great idea, in theory. HOWEVER, the tour advises you to drive less than 20 miles an hour and …
