It was a lovely experience. You do have to drive. We took our dog and she did well. There are not a lot of water fountains or access to water, so bring plenty. The driving tour app was accurate and informative. It definitely helps supplement the signage. Great experience definitely recommend.

Beautiful scenery, fascinating history. A well guided tour! From start to finish. Just be sure you don’t have any apps open when you begin. And very important to set it all up while you have Wi-Fi.
