Few Shortcomings, But Good for the Price. - This was pretty good for an audio tour. Some of the highlights were in the incorrect places and some of the information was old. Regardless, it was fun. the audio would start automatically when I walked by one of the landmarks via GPS. The map was handy to have. It would be nice if some of the other features were listed on th emap even if there was not audio for them. Even though there were a few shortcomings, I did get the additional tours for Chichen Itza and Tulum.

Lacking Substance and Information - Although I can hear the narrator’s enthusiasm for research and history, this self-guided tour lacked substance. I did not walk away enlightened with much new knowledge at all.
