Very interesting historical perspective of the area. We learned a lot about the area throughout the years. Directions were clear as to how to get around.
We loved every detail! We have walked this area many times and didn't know HALF the stories that made this special area special. The storytelling in this app is just amazing: music, voices, background... wow
This tour was really enjoyable. The timing is excellent and the writer seems to know just what facts are interesting. I always wondered where the term "86" came from and now I know that it's the address of a speakeasy where people had to skedaddle quickly when the cops came. John and Yoko's place and many more cool attractions.
