Small bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

so little content

pretty pointless

Short on detail.

The app works fine and it’s fairly easy to use. I’m not sure why there is such little information at each stop of the tour, however. Without the limitations of paper/space, I would have hoped for more than just a brief paragraph on some very interesting places.

Where is the detail? I’ve downloaded the app to learn, but I don’t really feel I’m getting much beyond the absolute basics.

Melbourne Golden Mile Walk

Have just used this app if you are travelling to Melbourne and like history and free walking tours this is a must have, it includes written and voice narrative and photo's of all the main points of interest, you must download the walking tour before you start when connected to wifi as it is a whopping 100mb plus file, there are also two other walks you can do, combined with the free tram area in Melbourne's CBD this is the way all cities should do business.
