“I cannot provide a 5 star rating because we were not provided maps nor were we provided headphones like the picture shows. We were told to use an app on our phones which would begin playing a recording about the attraction as soon as we entered the geofence. If we didn't all walk into the geofence at the exact same time, the recording didn't sync to everyone we were standing next too. I would not recommend. Instead, just buy a map, read about each stop and save yourself $10 a person.”
