Visually appealing

For hearing impaired: the used earbuds to give information rather than use a live guide With microphone. I was able to view the sites, but not hear the commentary.

Operator response

We understand that using earbuds for the commentary can make it difficult to follow the tour when you have a hearing impairment, and we appreciate you highlighting this. Your comments are valuable as we continue to evaluate how our information is delivered to guests. Kind regards, Stromma Denmark
