This audio self guided tour was excellent. The directions were easy to follow and you got great in-depth explanations about all the monuments and landmarks as you were passing by. Keep your GPS on, as the guide will narrate as you walk towards and past the landmarks in question. This was truly excellent
Passed this lovely park in a bus .we have visited before . So interesting . Full of history . You can also see famous names as you walk round . When the bells chime it is such an experience. It’s definitely worth a visit if you have time
