Really good tour. So great to be able to go at our own pace and wander off as needed to explore the areas. Brilliant app that starts in stops meaning that I can just enjoy the tour.

I really enjoyed the tour. One spot was a little glitchy, but otherwise it was an excellent adventure. I was so into it that I was quite surprised when it was over. Great job and highly recommended
