Highly recommended - The tour proved to be an invaluable resource as I walked. Without it, I would have missed out on discovering many of the specific locations that this walking tour has offered.

Do not buy - The app did not work. You can stand right in the middle of the circles and nothing would play. Waste of ten bucks.
