This tour was way better than I expected. Synced to your gps, it provided timely info as you drove, and ability to go at your pace with opportunities for extended stops along the way. Our original tour was cancelled last minute, so this was our only other option but we got to see and learn about all the key sites for a fraction of the price.

First day we tried the app shut down after about an hour and we could not get it to restart. Tried again another day and it worked fine.

There are a limited number of times you can stop and start the app. We stopped to look around and the app said I had used it all up by the first few places.
