Enjoyable, self-paced tour
Very nice being able to walk through the city and get a self-paced tour. We loved being able to stop and restart whenever we wanted to. A couple of the landmarks are out of date, like restaurants now being named differently, or one site that was no longer accessible, but it wasn't a big deal. It was enjoyable and well-worth the ten bucks.
