My husband and I found this tour lacking and boring. We left early. Would not recommend that you waste your money on this

The app was difficult to use. I bought 2 tickets yet couldn’t load the second app for my husband. The tour said that I could leave at any time and would resume. The app kept repeating itself on the same first location and wouldn’t stop no matter where we were.
