We loved every detail! We have walked this area many times and didn't know HALF the stories that made this special area special. The storytelling in this app is just amazing: music, voices, background... wow

This tour was really enjoyable. The timing is excellent and the writer seems to know just what facts are interesting. I always wondered where the term "86" came from and now I know that it's the address of a speakeasy where people had to skedaddle quickly when the cops came. John and Yoko's place and many more cool attractions.
