  • Open the audio playlist in your web browser to play attraction guides on demand; use the interactive map (open in a browser, not the Google Maps app) to tap headphone icons and jump to each audio file.
  • Bring headphones, a fully charged smartphone, and internet access; you can preview audio before you go and split the tour across multiple days to match your pace and interests.
