Be prepared for challenging neighborhoods - The app worked well and the stories were interesting, however the areas in which this tour takes people definitely appear to be unsafe. Drug deals on corners, homeless shanties etc were all passed on the way to another site.

awful app - The walk n tour app continued to glitch the entire tour. It would buffer, skip over certain sections, automatically play despite being paused second prior- just awful. The tour was fine, random selection of sites, maybe it would’ve been more enjoyable if the app wasn’t a absolute nightmare to use
