5.00This was a great audio tour, which did over a weekend stay in Cambridge. The route was great - covering the main sites, plus a few others wer might not have seen otherwise. The interesting information at each site covered the main points, and some of the backstory. We enjoyed going at our own pace, and being able to stop or detour as wanted. We were glad we picked up this tour - it was good value for money as well.
100% worth the download. Excellent tour.

5.00We did the Cambridge Walking Tour Guide and if you're reading the reviews to decide if you should download it, just do it. It was brilliant. Although we had the option to use the audio version, we actually used the text one. We could take our time, the app pings you when to stop and read, the information is really interesting and nicely written, it's all nicely paced. And for that price, we considered it excellent value. So stop thinking, and download it.
An interesting way to see the sights - must do!!

5.00We've done a couple of these tours now, so when we go away I always check to see if one is available! This tour, like the others, is so easy to follow. We can do these at our own pace, and there are useful stop off points for nice places for a snack. It was so well thought through, and flowed perfectly. I would honestly recommend this tour to anyone - I feel like I saw all the sights and learnt so much more than without the expertise of this tour.
A really interesting, well planned tour.
