Clio is a phenomenal tool for in-person and virtual travel. In the midst of COVID-19, it has provided an immersive experience that puts the user in the location they've chosen to explore; I feel as though I've personally visited so many places I've never stepped foot in. For the places I have traveled to, the app has given me new ideas of what to check out, and the walking and driving tours make it easy to follow a map. This app would be great for classrooms and educational institutions.

Like an interactive time machine- I rarely write reviews but this app is exceptional. I have enjoyed many of the walking tours and discovered historical sites and monuments and historical markers in New York City, Chicago, Cleveland, and all throughout my home state of Ohio. This app is perfect for history lovers and also revealed hidden gems like museums.
