I could not complete this, I went to the pickup point and found nothing ; I went to the main square and nothing either, I sent message to operator and no reply :(

Bringing along young kids, I can’t always join more expensive walking tours as most of the time it’s too long for kids to stay focused. However this is just perfect for us to take our own pace, and the guide is really good in getting us intrigued about their school life, so thank you and will definitely recommend. I’d join their other tours!

Gave us a great insight to the history of Cambridge and college life. The punt was a lot of fun and gave a totally different perspective

Was nice but it wasn't obvious when I booked it that it was a do it yourself audio tour on an app. That should be obvious and clear at the outset so that it's an informed decision to start with. I was frankly expecting a guide when I booked.

wast of time and money. no code provided. no one answered the phone number provided. Could not use the app. Will never use this app again.

Very nice experience. We can do it at our own pace. The narration was also very interesting, especially about the college itself.

Loved this experience! Perfect for current times where you can completely avoid the crowds and other people and explore Cambridge in your own time. I always hate doing big group tours and this was such a perfect way to get an overview of Cambridge while exploring by yourself
