Good tour but the app could be better.

4.00There was a problem starting the tour because we needed to be in a precise location but couldn't get there because of works on the site. We did eventually get close enough for it to start but it wasn't clear from the app why it would not start. I kept getting a message to download it. The directions could have been better too. There was also too much emphasis on bars and clubs.
