Well done - would take another tour - Very easy to use - clear commentary …. All my questions answered as I strolled along Only criticism - pronunciation of ‘kilometres’ which should rhyme with ‘pillowbeater’ ……. Will take another tour if it warms up again during my visit.

A great intro to The Forks - A great way to learn more about the history and the community in this area. Much better than just wandering around. Perfect length in time and distance. The map really helped us keep on track. Highly recommend.
