It is often best to download the tour at a location where there is good mobile or Wi Fi coverage. During the tour the app will play from your phone so good mobile internet is not needed.
Our audio narration will play automatically at each stop as well as direct you from stop to stop. To do this, the app uses GPS and for it to work correctly check the following items before you start a tour:
ON ANDROID PHONES:
