    Great
    Very informative. Worth the money, it costs less that a map of the trail. However, don't rely on gps as the tall buildings tend to block the signal.

    Good time
    Was excellent. You can skip the stuff that doesn't interest you, and concentrate on the good stuff. Good narrations throughout the tour.

    Perfect
    I've never reviewed an app before but had to give this one 5 stars. For $3 you can't beat this. No need for a tour with this app

    Worked great. Better deal than $15 from the official FT website. If the tour worked in reverse we'd give it 5. Future rev may do it so check update

    Great app. The only reason it is not a 5 star is because the map is a little clunky. My location would be nice, full maps search even better.
