Could not find start.

Peter_M, Apr 2025

Three different places to start/Park. 1) app said at Moose Lodge. 2) link for directions said across street near histor power station. 3) Narrator said on other corner from Moose Lodge. With no picture and no customer service we were lost. The walking tour was slightly out of date, talking about businesses that were no longer there as if they were. Also VoiceMap kept kicking me out making me come back to get the code and reenter it every single time we paused tour.

Interesting tour

We enjoyed the tour but found it sometimes confusing. The guide would say continue but didn’t say when or where to stop so had to keep pressing buttons. Also a description of the area would have been helpful. We had no idea how steep and hilly mist of it was.
