Audio vs Guided Tours

Audio

Pros: Flexible, included with many tickets, self-paced.
Cons: Impersonal, may not answer live questions.

Guided walks

Pros: Deeper context, interaction with a guide.
Cons: Fixed schedule, sometimes higher cost.

Tip: Use the HoHo audio for transit context, then join a short guided walk for depth.
