    Firstly we had trouble downloading the audio. When it finally downloaded, the directions didn’t make much sense so we gave up. What we can say is it appears the houses are not together and spread over a large area so if you are not mobile, this is not the tour for you. Would be easier to just drive around and spot them.

    The cottages and their histories are interesting, but the tour was lacking, both in terms of technical details, and as a visitor experience. Some of the mentioned landmarks have changed, and locations where you are on the tour was at times confusing. But for me, an even worse shortfall was the lack of humor in the narrative. When the amount of available factual info is limited, it's even more important to use some humor to amplify the experience, and there just wasn't any in this tour. At a minimum, the changes in landmarks need to be updated.
