“Long process to download the map. The actual tour, while interesting enough about a small part of old down Geneva, is like attending a history lecture albet with a good voiced teacher. The church it covers extensively is interesting but you don't really need the tour for that. The navigator in the app is slow to upload so you walk a ways, think you're good, then it uploads and you're in the wrong place. Uggh.”
