Information was excellent and enjoyable. Walking directions were difficult to follow. The transition from Dig Deeper back to the story line was often jumbled and difficult to manage. Enjoyed narration by variety of voices…moving and educational.

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.
