Disappointed - The directions were not very good and the tour very quickly drained my phone’s battery! We ended up leaving the tour after the 3rd stop and booked a wildlife tour instead on the pier…much more enjoyable and worth the money. Glad I only purchased one audio tour for my phone instead of one for each of us. We really wanted to like this, but it just wasn’t worth the time or money that we wasted.
