### 1/5 — La Jolla tour NOT WORTH IT!!!

*2021-08-08, version 1.0*

The GPS was not good…many times telling you to turn almost half a block AFTER the actual turn. Information was mediocre and not very interesting. The entire tour took about 
20 minutes. We’ve done other self guided app tours and been so happy with them. This was definitely not something I would recommend especially after paying $4.99 for it.

**Developer response:** Hello, We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. Because the tour was only one mile long, we had to make sure that we didn't have too much information that we could miss while driving. We will definitely look into your suggestion and include more information in the next release. Check out the "Learn More" stops, too.  If the GPS is off by a few feet, we have instructions on how to use the tour in those places. Once again we are sorry.

### 5/5 — Perfect for first time visitor!

*2021-03-04, version 1.0*

First time in San Diego ever and La Jolla was the #1 recommended place to go see.... so we went! So glad we had this handy little tour for La Jolla with us. 
The place is FULL of seals, sea lion, pelicans, and more and the app would start talking about the animals we were looking at just as we saw them. Almost perfect timing. Really enjoyed the tour through the downtown area too.

The only thing which needs to be added is food and restaurant recommendations.

**Developer response:** Awesome! So thrilled to hear how perfectly it synced up with the locations of the seals and sea lions — they’re always on the move so it’s awesome that it fit so well. La Jolla is definitely a MUST when visiting San Diego.

### 5/5 — Beautiful story of a beautiful location

*2021-02-12, version 1.0*

I had no idea that this technology is so simple to use. Just like google map, it shows a path to you to nice locations and tells you it’s story. Some stories are really unique. Location is beautiful and story is nice too. We enjoyed fully.

**Developer response:** Haha, that’s so great! Hope you enjoy all of our self-guided tours in your future vacations now! La Jolla is gorgeous though so I’m thrilled that you enjoyed your visit with our tour experience.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable Tour

*2021-01-28, version 1.0*

Great app, really enjoyed all the stories! It was nice to go at our own pace but still a plan to follow.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! I’m so pleased that you enjoyed your tour of beautiful La Jolla. I hope you’ll check out our other tours when planning your next trip!
