An enjoyable and informative hour and a half with a very easy to listen to guide.
Clear directions (even when I went off track) easy to use and informative. I downloaded it so no problems with connection.
We stayed at 131 hotel, it was a gift from our daughters. It must be the nicest hotel we’ve stayed in. We went to eat at The Ivy which was beautiful.
Great informative tour, the narrator had a very nice voice, the directions were easy to follow and the information was very interesting
A well designed and narrated tour which takes in all the key interest points and historical sites in and around the centre of Cheltenham. We learnt a lot more from the tour than if we had just wandered around ourselves. We found the Audiomap app was not always intuitive to use, and initially struggled to find the menu option to enter the code provided on purchase. We also struggled with location access settings for the app - only solved by setting access to location data on permanently, and not just whilst using the app.
We came to Cheltenham for a short break. I knew it was steeped in history but we wanted to explore the town at our own pace. This was a brilliant option that allowed us to find out loads about Cheltenham without restricting us to a timetable. We were able to pause the tour at any point to explore shops and stop for lunch etc. The tour can be done in as little as 90 minutes but we stretched it out across a whole day and really enjoyed ourselves. We only got lost once and that was because we talked over one of the directions. We were quickly advised of our error and returned to the previous check point. I would definitely recommend to the inquisitive independent traveller
Very user friendly and helpful virtual guided tour. Nice voice, easy to follow directions and plenty of interesting information. Stopped when I stopped and automatically picked up when I moved on. Took me places and showed me areas that I would not have ventured to, but nothing too far off the beaten track! Very good overall and worth the cist
Great way to get to know a city especially when you’re on your own. The app worked well - the only time I went slightly off route it was easy enough to find my way back on and the tour was interesting and the guide lovely to listen to. Sometimes you do feel a bit weird standing still in random places (like next to the coach station) but just look confident and it’s fine!
Easy to follow and interesting and just about the right length. We'd been there a day already but would have missed loads without this tour.
An excellent way to explore Cheltenham at my own pace. Informative commentary which kept pace with the route. I was able to stop and explore the sites that were of most interest to me. A highlight was the Cheltenham Minster where I was guided by lovely volunteers. This is so easy to access and has opened up new your options for me elsewhere. Great value for money.
