Great activity for a rainy day! - The self-guided driving tour was a great way for us to see Portland and learn about the city. It was a rainy day, so learning about Portland from the comfort of our car was great!

Overall but needs some work - Audio explanations were good but have better audio on directions between stops. Had to pull over multiple times to figure out if we were on the blue line path on phone app. Also why were some of reference points blue and others black?
