Interesting audio tour - A great self guided audio tour that doesn't take long (around 45-50 minutes) and is ideal for solo travellers. The only down side is that the tour gets slightly confusing towards the end where the route was changed because of the Covid pandemic.

Really enjoyed this tour! - I really enjoyed this tour! It was informative and easy to follow along with the guidance, and it took me to parts of the city I don’t think I would’ve seen otherwise. It was also nice to follow along at my own pace and be able to start and stop the tour when I wanted.

Good length, great information, - Was perfect for us. We could stop for coffee and chat about what we were seeing and hearing. Being able to reply the tour was also helpful for the member of our party who didn't listen carefully the first time!

A Wonderful Self-Guided Tour Experience! - I recently took the Cambridge’s Colleges and Classic Sights self-guided audio tour and had an excellent experience. Anna Granta, the narrator, was quite nice and provided insightful commentary throughout the tour, making the history and architecture of Cambridge come alive. The navigation was smooth and easy to follow, even for someone new to the area. The tour is well-paced, giving you time to appreciate each location without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Cambridge and looking to explore at their own pace!

A good interesting 1-2 hour tour - I recommend the Cambridge audio tour. There was some “friction” getting my code to unlock the tour. There’s a small bit of the tour that’s out of sate as it makes a detour to avoid an entrance previously closed due to Covid-19. But overall my experience was positive. It’s a well written tour with factual information rather than the made uo anecdotes and ghost stories aome tour guides offer.

Poor. Lost opportunity to learn more. - The concept is great, however the level of historical info poor & the narrator's voice dour to the point of irritation. The narration should have been, with more research & effort, an opportunity to fill the listener with facts about Cambridge life &history, not just the odd random snippet. Buy a guide book instead.
