### 1/5 — No navigation

*2023-09-05*

I went through ever setting on this app and could not get the navigation to work. We only made it to two stops since they didn’t have addresses that I could put into my own gps. So disappointing. I wasted $20 on this tour.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-08-21*

I was slightly worried I wouldn’t be tech savvy enough for this app tour but was presently surprised by how easy it was to use. Great “how to video” to start that explains everything. Loved loved loved the Belle Isle Tour! Great price for a great experience with my wife.

### 5/5 — Lived here most my life - yet learned so much!

*2020-07-12*

We’ve taken a few Detroit History Club tours in person, pre-covid. Great experiences, yet I was skeptical about on-line tours. Don’t be like that. It was awesome. Always learn something new from the DHC Folks.  What a history rich community we live in!

### 5/5 — Indian Village Tour

*2020-07-11*

Cycling self-guided tour of Indian Village today. Thanks, Detroit History Tours, for the app so we can keep ourselves active and entertained! And a beautiful spot to finish the tour in front of the Junior League of Detroit Show House! #detroithistorytours #jldshowhouse
