Golden Gate Bridge Tour - Loved it, easy to follow. Love listening to the history of San Francisco and the varies spots the commentary would come on. Great for a self guided tour. Can go at your own pace.

Good tour, excellent audio, great concept, sometimes hard to get to right place - It was a rocky start to the tour as it assumed we had approached the starting point from the opposite direction. It wasn’t always clear how to find the next stop as we were wanting to do it all in order. The audio that did play when we were in the right place was excellent.

Navigation poor - Information was great, but navigating from spot to spot was difficult. Had to use another app to navigate which required two phones. Maybe another city would be better than San Fran.
