A very impressive audio tour

Published on Feb, 2025

An 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.

Oxford for a day

Published on May, 2023

Well 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.
