Great way to see a city - What a great way to see a city. Walk at your own pace, see the highlights and pick and choose what you want to do. We loved the history narrative and enjoyed the whole immersive experience. We’d certainly refer other people who love walking and love traveling. A+ on all the tours

This was great! - We did this walking tour this morning. After a little glitch with us downloading incorrect app, a quick call to Greg resolved the issue. He was super helpful. We really loved the self paced relaxed tour. Easy to stay on track, easy to listen to narrator. Highly recommend. Great value!

Save your money - The user interface was not intuitive, and the information was general and superficial. Save your money

Dissapointed - The on-phone narrator could not locate where we were. We ended up entering the arched start and going round in circles upto the tram / railroad. We decided to switch off the whole app and explore by ourselves . We got a better experience taking random walks around the park.
