Excelente guía sin conductor, la aplicación se activa sin mayor problema y da información interesante de cada punto, solo a considerar en esta guía es que la visita al monumento tiene un horario estricto que no es mencionado y es de los últimos puntos de interés. Vale la pena escuchar el recorrido previo a la visita para sacarle mayor provecho, también hay varios faros cerrados por reparaciones ojala pudiera tener actualizaciones en tiempo real para saber si es posible o no visitar algunos puntos, 100% recomendable y a un excelente precio.

Didn’t know at first that the red lines are detours and blue lines are the tour on the GPS map. Otherwise, a good and informative tour!
