3.00The tour was somewhat difficult to get started and determine where it was describing. Once it caught up to where we were in the trip the information was interesting!
Audio tour

2.00This did not work well for us at all. To try and listen and observe along the way to Banff and navigate where we’ve never been before just didn’t work for us.
Interesting if glitchy
