The tour was very easy to follow. Step by step and turn by turn, following was one of the easiest tours we've taken. When we arrived at the spots marked on the map, the item being described was right in front of us. Very good directions and very interesting details about the things we were seeing. Enjoyed touring this way so much, I purchased another one for another city.
