Great inexpensive tour at your own pace

Published on Jan, 2023

This is a great option to explore the city at your own pace. I enjoyed playing the mp3s then pausing at a Cafe or a shop and resuming the tour when I was ready. It comes with a very helpful map as a pdf and I found it very easy to download and use the resources.
