    The guide’s voice and information made the tour engaging and interesting. Directions to next stop were clear, although sometimes I had to listen to them more than once, but that was easy to do either rewinding or opening the write up. It would be helpful to have your phone fully charged before starting. We took turns playing the narrative because we didn’t have earphones and it kept us n sync as well.
