This tour was everything I hoped it would be- informative, interesting, and, thanks to the magic of GPS, I didn’t have to do anything but enjoy. I would highly recommend. Also. If you have any troubles, don’t hesitate to call tech support. I actually couldn’t get it to work on my phone, we had to use my husband’s instead (which is the only reason this isn’t a five-star review) but tech support was very helpful and got us rolling quickly. The tour really is timed well and made the miles fly by.
