5.00It was a bit tedious to get into the app. The narrator offered lots of information on the sites and bonus information on people and places when weaved from one site to the next. The directions were generally clear, although we did get off the path twice. We will use this walking tour again when we travel.
Not pleased.

3.00I walked the audio walk, but I had a lot of trouble staying on the trail. It was more of a scavenger hunt than an audio tour and I don't think that was the intention. The last part of the tour was a secluded part and that didn't feel so safe, as a solo traveler. So I skipped that. I also found not all the sightseeing points interesting. They could have described more interesting places. Wouldn't book this again.
