Great tour very informative and easy to follow. Good value. As said in other reviews, it is a steep climb at the end but worth it.

This audio tour is packed with a lot of interesting information. It was great value for the amount charged. To avoid climbing the steep hill, I chose to take a bus to the top and start at Clifton Observatory. So I was going in the opposite direction. I wish the audio clip for each location could be more "standalone", i.e., not so dependant on the direction of travel. Note that descending the steep hill might not be such a good idea after all. Maybe I should have gone in the direction of this audio tour....

It was great but just some of the roads do not have pedestrian way Which may be due to construction that it was quite dangerous.
