The audio guide was informative but felt a bit dry at times. I appreciated being able to explore on my own, but it could have been more engaging. Still, worth it if you like self guided tours.

Our teens found the audio guide a little boring. It’s factual but not very exciting. It worked okay for us adults, but I’d recommend it mainly to history buffs.

The guide gave good background info, but it felt a bit repetitive at points. We enjoyed the freedom of an online guide, but it lacked a bit of energy.
