PDF tickets are sent to your email which we used at the main gate for entry but for the audio guide, which is the most important tool for the tour, we never got to use. Didn't know if we were supposed to download an app or if there was a link. Was not informed if a code was needed and none was provided to access the audio guide. Even if we had access to audio, how would the app know what to describe to us based on our location? Did we need to turn our 'GPS locator' on? What if we only had…”
