Before you buy
How do I get the guide?

Can I use it offline?
Yes. Download the PDF before you head out. Its text, images and maps remain available offline; live venue and directions links need an internet connection. The page layout is easiest to read on a tablet or computer, and can be zoomed on a phone.

No. You are purchasing the guide only. Attraction tickets, meals, parking and transportation are separate from the guide purchase.
