Great way to spend a couple of hours

This was a really nice way to spend a couple of hours with young children. It wasn’t too far to walk and the questions at each stop gave them something to look out for and to interact with. It was a great way to make city sightseeing more interesting with younger children in tow. We bought two tickets and downloaded the app on two devices to get a bit of a competition going. Would definitely recommend
