    we opted for the self-guided tour so we could do the walk in the early morning and avoid the heat. All guided tours were in the middle of the day or afternoon, and most were 2 1/2 hours long. This one was 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 long. It was easy to download the app and get started. The talk and walk was clear and nicely paced. The talk had a nice balance between historical facts and interesting anecdotes. The only thing that a few times was a problem was that the GPS was not very precise so there were times when we were in the right place, and thus the guide-talk should start automatically, but the GPS showed us as being 40 feet away. We could not figure out how to manually start the talk in those situations but I am sure there is a way to do so. In all, we liked the flexibility--starting time, pace-- offered by the self-guided format, and this one was very good

    Long-winded stories, neighborhood was not as Jewish as in other countries. It was more about art/culture/composers. Too bad, then. Better take a walk from travel guide in future
