- Review from Tripadvisor
A good idea in itself, because you can set your own pace. Unfortunately, the app does not navigate you, which is why you have to turn the phone, the screen on and off again to see if you are still on the right track & have not missed anything. The stories were good, understandably told & informative. If you want to take pictures, then you should not forget the power bank ;).
