Nice overview of Canterbury - Great way to get to know the city better and see other places outside the usual places. The app is easy to operate and accessible.

Good audio guide to Canterbury. - The audio tour of Canterbury was very good. It has been very complete, and has shown you the main sites of the city, giving good explanations about the sites. It is a good audio guide if you visit Canterbury.

Pretty good with some room for improvement in the app department. - It was not bad just that the audio guide for some stops were a little brief. More photos in the app would have been good too. But overall it’s pretty good for those who don’t have a whole lot of time and want a simple quick tour at their own pace

Waste of money. I bought two tickets but didn’t realise we had to buy additional tickets to go inside the cathedrals. - Waste of money. I bought two tickets but didn’t realise we had to buy additional tickets to go inside the cathedrals. The security didn’t let us inside the barrier. In the end we didn’t even use these tickets. Very misleading!!!
