    I had a couple of free hours while in town for business, so I downloaded this tour. It was great to learn about the history of Basel. The walk was easy to follow and I saw things and learned things I would have never gotten on my own. Even on a cold rainy day, I enjoyed the tour.

    I highly recommend this self guided tour. Not only does it let you pause at any time so you can explore somewhere in more detail, it automatically starts the commentary as you walk along, so you can keep your phone in your pocket. Easy to follow instructions and very good value. I shall definitely be using these again on future trips.

    Overall this is a nice familiarization walk around Luczern and a good value. My GPS was not as accurate as I would like so it takes time to get used to where you are vs. the GPS pointer. We shared the narrative on speaker phone and that was OK, but not ideal. .
