    I wasn’t sure what to expect from a self-guided tour, but this felt polished and professional. The narration was friendly, the directions easy to follow, and the little ‘imagine this…’ moments and the folklore stories made it fun. I loved I could do it at my own pace and it was a lovely little activity.
