4.00This was our first experience with a tour app and with a “walking tour”. Overall we really liked the ability to pause the tour and re-listen to parts of it. The presenter has a pleasant voice which we easily understood. The only drawback for us is that we were taking the tour on a Sunday, so once we got to the later part of the tour at Trinity Church, we could not finish the tour because of the Sunday service taking place, so we missed seeing the tombs of Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway. Aside from that oversight, we are happy to recommend this tour.
Clear commentary with excellent directions.

5.00I love the flexibility of being able to go on this tour at your own convenience. The narrative was clear and I like their feature of telling you to refer to the map when you are not going in the correct direction. Otherwise, it works like Googlemaps with a bubble showing you the direction. I also appreciated being able to download it at home to make sure that it will work.
