1.00Descriptions of buildings are around 3-4 minutes long and provide very little information. The detailed map is pathetic and not helpful. You'd be better off looking the buidings up on Google maps. Don't waste your money on this. Get a guide book instead. You'll thousands of time more information.
Great experience

5.00Freedom from others was what I enjoyed - our family were able to take our time and keep within our tight budget while still seeing the highlights. We did it early morning and then had a rest and resumed in the evening after the kids had napped.
