Disappointed

The tour worked well from a functional point of view, but I was very disappointed in the content. The information was simple, superficial and lacked interest: the voice had a strong American accent so maybe the target was American visitors.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry the content of the Oxford tour did not offer the depth you were looking for, and we have noted your comment about the narration. We will review the script and the audio to make the experience richer for future travellers.
