I loved it. My issue was that there was no info about the local company process or app to be able to down load and access the tour. I had to call. Wasted almost an hour as I as driving alone and had to stop multiple times

Please, a French version would be greatly appreciated to take full advantage of the information and the landscape.

These guides are truly excellent. Will always look out for them when travelling by car. Great value

Interesting talk - would have been a boring journey without it.

It was informative and the trivia questions were fun
