Learned and saw lots about Halifax at our own pace - Loved the audio tour, saw a lot of Halifax in our short time off the ship. Beware, there are hills and stairs, which we loved, but just good to know. Great to be on our own pace. Listen carefully to the directions, we got a bit turned around once or twice.

None - Fairly easy to use and clear. A little confusing in that reference to the clock tower starts in the public garden, but the clock tower is at the citadel which is across the street.
