How confusing the maps and the guidance were. Writing tips we got lost several times and the guidance had gaps in it that we couldn't fill. There was one point where we had to choose between two sidewalks one that went up and one that went down – we chose the wrong one

The audio tour was great with a lot of great information. The maps, at times, were a little confusing, but overall enjoyable and well worth $12

The audio tour was very good and interesting. Some fun highlights. Downtown Los Angeles is a bit dreary though. Not sure I'd recommend if you only have a day.
