What to remember

Know in advance:

This is not an attraction entrance ticket, this is a self-guided tour with no guide accompanying you. The tour operator's app functions as a guide, an audio tour, and a map all in one

After booking, search your email for the phrase "Set up your self-guided tour now" and follow the instructions to finish setting up the tour while you have Wi-Fi/data. It's recommended not to wait until you are on site. After the initial setup, the tour will work perfectly with offline maps

The audio stories will play on their own based on your location. You can start anytime and pause anywhere

Most stops along the tour have animated videos allowing you to visualize what you cannot see, such as snapshots from different centuries or interior rooms
