Some nice spots pointed out on the walk. Couple of bumps along the way, but all in all was decent. Need a few more " you're doing fine keep walking this way" in my humble opinion.

I was never able to download it and I tried multiple times. It was also hard to find the beginning location where it was supposed to start. The phone number for the company does not work. And email is not helpful when you need help right now.

It was ok. The only part we appreciated was seeing the mural of Prince and not sure we would have seen it if we had not done the tour.
