Fantastic 5.0
We originally booked a physical tour guide who never showed up! We scrambled and decided let’s try this audio guide as we were out of time. Well let’s just say I am a convert! The narrator was informative, detailed anticipated questions. I found I actually enjoyed this way of touring because I would browse in stores along the way too and went into some places she recommended and took my time. great guide!

convenience located. Tram stop right infront of the Hotel. Train stair just about 2-3 minutes walk away. Staffs are very friendly.
