We definitely saw places we would not have otherwise discovered like the alley with the artsy gates and the 81/2 house. I’m glad we did it. The story was okay, but didn’t add much to the experience. The GPS was helpful. The hardest thing about it was the content was difficult to read as it was small, dark colored font. It was a sunny day. If I could have enlarged the font or lightened it, it would have been more enjoyable.

It never happened! Paid and received nothing but an email with code that couldn’t be used anywhere. And the advertisement that says free cancellation? Please!! Save the time and aggravation and try something else.
