    Disappointingly bland.

    Glynnis_T, May 2025
    I found the directions hard to follow as they happened too quickly, so had to keep pausing to catch up. Some of the directions were incorrect (eg, no pedestrian crossing evident) or unhelpful in that they assumed the walker could see street buses etc. I also found the narrator’s delivery laboured with little to distinguish the dramatic moments from the prosaic.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Thank you for your feedback and for giving the tour a try. We’re sorry to hear that some directions and narration didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll review the route guidance and pacing to ensure it’s clearer and more user-friendly in future updates. Your input is really appreciated as we continue to improve the experience.
