Frequently Asked Questions
How long do tours last?
Tour length depends on a number of factors, including the amount of stops, the distance between stops and speed of the participant(s). Also note that a Tour Taker can choose to pause the tour as many times as they wish–within a 30-day window. All this said, the length of a tour will probably average between 60 to 90 minutes, if the user takes the tour from start to finish without interruptions.
What safety tips are recommended?
Safety is a high priority to the team here at Built Story. Please practice safe traveling practices. Taking tours during daylight is recommended. Pay close attention to traffic and pedestrian laws. If alcoholic beverages are a part of your tour, practice responsibility - be sure to have a sober, designated driver appointed, or use ride sharing to get around safely. For more information, please see our Terms of Use here.
Can I become a Tour Creator?
Yes! Anyone can add a Tour Creator account to their Tour Taker account. Simply login to your Tour Taker account from a desktop computer. Follow the prompts, via the website, to start your own creator dashboard. Once this is complete, you can begin creating tours.
Can I share my tour?
Yes! But, please note that each unique device will need to purchase each tour separately.
Once purchased, how long will I have access to the tour?
Tours are taken from your mobile device through the Built Story app and are available for 30 days from date of purchase. Tours can be stopped and started as many times as desired. Additionally, you may retake the tour as many times as you like–as long as it is within the 30-day window.
What if I want a refund on my tour?
Our goal is that each user learns, enjoys and has a wonderful experience during their time using Built Story tours. If this is not the case, please drop us a note at [email protected], and we will address your concerns.
