Enjoyed this walk at our own pace. Good audio which was easy to follow and listen to. Would recommend to other users and will check out other cities
First time we’ve tried this concept, and we have to say that it really is brilliant! The tour as such was ok, with some fun and interesting anecdotes and points of interest, but unfortunately the narrator was a bit blah, and sounded like she was going to fall asleep at any moment. That said, this really is a great way to get some background and insight into the places you visit, if you haven’t got the time or money or whatever to do a tour with a live guide. So we really recommend the concept as such. It is really good value for money, and lets you walk around in your own pace.
Lovely to move at our own pace, stop and start when we wanted to. We enjoyed doing the tour on our own rather than a big group.
This is not a comprehensive tour of Cambridge, but it hit many of the obvious highlights and also included some that I didn't know about, like Castle Mound. I enjoyed the narrator's personal notes and found the tour easy to follow. There were a couple occasions when traffic noise drown out her directions, but it was easy to rewind to get back on track. I recommend combining this tour with a punting tour to get another perspective.
Lovely tour with plenty of interesting content I hadn’t heard before. Surprisingly enjoying doing a self-guided tour and being able to take things at my own pace, lingering where I wanted to.
I know this was relatively cheap but not really enjoyable. Limited information given and limited route
