Good walking tour
We really enjoyed our self guided walking tour. The APP helped guide you to the starting point, with useful in built map and the photo used to illustrate the points along the route helped to orientate you. The narration was informative and introduced some more unique pieces of information. The route of the walk was a nice length, with good stopping points a long the way and highlighted areas of interest which would have easily been missed if you were just walking along. Overall well worth the money.

Highly recommended
Very entertaining guide. Super nice to make the walk at your own pace and being able to take breaks for lunch etc. Good mixture of fun facts and more serious information.
