(5/5)
I have learned about many exciting details about things and incidents in Kbh. in those years. It worked fine with the combination of sound in the ears and trotting around at the same time. A bit like being on a treasure hunt and finding the details that were described. Quite cozy.

The tour was nice and you learned some basics. The computer translation sometimes resulted in statements that were difficult to understand. This could definitely be improved
