AWFUL! The confirmation message didn't give any connection that enabled me to use the program. It us totally useless and a competent waste if £9.99. The only way of trying to sort it out was a london phone number where an American speaker was useless and knew nothing of the tour I'll try to get a refund by doubt I'll be successful. I WILL NEVER USE VIATOURS AGAIN

They pretended they are selling you walking tour tickets and you get pdf files. And of course they refuse to give you a refund Very disappointed.
Good afternoon, thank you for your feedback. We have reviewed the issue, and you paid for self-guided audio tours, and not for entrance tickets to the site. That is a different product provided by a different company, I’m afraid, which is indicated on the product’s page. Nevertheless, we've issued a full refund for your.

Very misleading, looks like a real tour, the title says walking tour with a date, availability check and meeting point. :) In the end it turns out it's just the PDF/video for the self guided tour. Way too expensive for what it is. On top of that they would not refund when I realized the trap.

Very dissatisfied. We booked a walking tour and we got PDF files. Of course it is a scam. They mislead people, take their money and then they can't cancel the tickets.

The commentary by a former student is surprising and interesting. It provided insights on the student life in the college. The recommended visiting spots are remarkable, and the audio setting provides flexibility to the journey. I would, however, suggest that a voice system is incorporated into the map, verbally guiding us to the next location, as GPS systems sometimes misjudge the current location.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon!
I could not complete this, I went to the pickup point and found nothing ; I went to the main square and nothing either, I sent message to operator and no reply :(

Bringing along young kids, I can’t always join more expensive walking tours as most of the time it’s too long for kids to stay focused. However this is just perfect for us to take our own pace, and the guide is really good in getting us intrigued about their school life, so thank you and will definitely recommend. I’d join their other tours!
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you soon in another one of our destinations!
Gave us a great insight to the history of Cambridge and college life. The punt was a lot of fun and gave a totally different perspective
Thank you so much for this 5-star review. We really appreciate you being a customer and helping to share the word about us. We’re here for you anytime!
Was nice but it wasn't obvious when I booked it that it was a do it yourself audio tour on an app. That should be obvious and clear at the outset so that it's an informed decision to start with. I was frankly expecting a guide when I booked.
