5.00We loved it. Really interesting tour tailored to Oxford’s literary scene. Just enough information presented in an imaginative way. You have the freedom to visit the places along the route if you wish to pay the entrance fee.
Very disappointed

1.00I had great difficulty with the app. I followed instructions and appeared to have it on my phone. I followed directions to the start. I then selcted start tour and this led me to a number of other screens and then back to start tour. This happened severla times before I gave up. Waste of £9.50.
Terrible experience.

1.00Paying the £9.50 was easy enough! After this, the experience was terrible. We tried to follow the tortuous instructions and finally succeeded (we thought) in downloading the app. We then used the directions to get to the starting point. We then selected start the tour and got into a cycle of approving other apps. Whenever we got back to start the tour, the same thing happened. In the end we gave up. If there was any chance at all of getting our £9.50 back, I'd claim it. Waste of money and time for us.
A very impressive audio tour

5.00An excellent option for learning about the literary heroes and heroines of the city. Well voiced and very easy to use; the app coped perfectly with our stops and starts. We'd definitely download more from this company.

5.00Well structured guided tour, great overview of the key stories related to Oxford. Especially in quieter streets and places listening to the guiding story, making stops to pay more attention to details was enjoyable and thought provoking.
