THIS IS NOT A RECORDED TOUR GUIDE.
It's a fully produced audio experience.
Music sets the scene. Sound effects put you there. Different voices bring historical characters to life. Historic photographs let you see what stood in front of you over 100 years ago.
It's closer to a walking documentary than following a tour guide.
