Bit disappointed as it doesn't take you to some of the key areas of the park. I also couldn't get it to work on pocket mode. That could have been my mistake but it wasn't easy for me to work out why not.

Die Tour war wundervoll. Der Guide hat deutliche gesprochen und die Anweisung für den Weg waren super verständlich. Mein Lieblingsteil der Tour war der sunken garden und die Information zum serpent. Mann kann so schnell oder langsam laufen wie man möchte, soweit ich das erkennen konnte ist die ganze Tour auch für Menschen mit Rollstuhl geeignet (bis auf den Diana Memorial Fountain). Man sollte darauf achten, dass man bequem Kopfhörer für die Tour hat und ein voll geladenes Handy, da die Tour länger dauern kann, wenn man sich alles genau ansieht und auch Pausen zwischen drin macht. Für Kinder stell ich mir diese Tour etwas öde vor.
