Well planned out path. Nice voice on audio. Liked the extra deep dives of information. A little glitchy getting the gps portion working smoothly but it settled down. Definitely worth the price paid.

Not much depth to the commentary. Annoying follow ups asking for reviews. But in the absence of other audio tours this is an ok commentary.

The app worked wonderfully as long as you were on the correct side of the street. If not, . the audio did not get triggered. If you did take a detour, the program would start back up as soon as you got back in position. Would certainly use this company y again.
