App was terrible to get on board with, I never heard the guided tour, but I paid for it! ( I think?) took my credit card info. Not user friendly to understand how to get your going. Never happened, we just walked around on our own.

This was an excellent app and a great way to get a feel for Juneau. It was easy to use, and recommend downloading it while on WiFi at your hotel or before you leave to go walking. It was informative, well narrated and excellent way to see the sights on foot. Highly recommend!
