This was super interesting and filled with a lot of history. A very immersive experience. The directions on where to stop and where to turn were very detailed and kept me from getting lost.

This self guided tour was so well laid out with the pictures and directions. I was thoroughly impressed. I hope to do many more self guided tours because it brings about a great sense of independence and self pacing.

The narrative of the places and the historical events was excellent. Don't know who the actors were who did the narration, but they did a great job. The app is easy enough to follow as the map feature does allow you to track your location. The only downsides: 1 - if there are several of you, you have to use the phone speaker if you don't have a bluetooth speaker, and in crowds it's rude to be playing. 2 - the map feature isn't the easiest to use and doesn't really 'track' you with the narrative. If there is street activity that causes you to move faster than you'd like - we experienced heavy road construction creating excessive noise, dust and traffic - you have to jump ahead using the narration feature of the app and that doesn't track against the gps. Otherwise, a great tool!
