Well, Viator is asking for a review, but the agent canceled the tour at the last minute. Very disappointing. Didn’t give me a chance to try to book something else. I tried but couldn’t find anything,

It covered the most substantial landmarks and do it on your own time so overall very convenient and a nice experience! The app was quite annoying though as you would hear the same 15-second message whenever you paused the recording.
