“The tour itself was great, but performing the necessary steps to get the tickets and tour downloaded was definitely not. Instructions and needed links weren’t sent to me until the day before, when I was out sightseeing. I waited until I was back in the hotel, which has excellent wifi, to download the tickets, download a new (required) app, etc. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t work, there is no technical help after 4 pm, and the required app gets only 2 stars in the app store! So I wasn’t even sure if I was going to be able to take the tour until I was able to reach technical support the next…”
