    Useless instructions
    The instructions provided for how to redeem the tour were non-existent and instructions for cancellation were equally vague. I emailed the tour provider for help but it took them 2 days to respond. In the meantime, sensing that I had wasted my money, I spent quite some time trying to work it out for myself and eventually found some info on a forum, which pointed me to downloading the Viator app, so I decided to cancel that way. Would have been useless if I had booked on the day! Very dissatisfied, won’t use again.

    Waste of time - couldn't even access the tour due to no communication and no help from TripAdvisor
    Absolutely appalling - couldn't even get the code for the tour to access the app. No instructions provided. No help from TripAdvisor despite spending 20 minutes on a call going round in circles with someone who didn't have a clue how to help me. Spoiled a surprise for my mum n dad's pre Christmas present trip to London

    A must see visit of a lifetime
    Istanbul was an exciting venture. We enjoyed the bazaar and visited the town where they weave the rugs. You get a full tour of the facility where the women weave, by hand, the silk rugs. We bought one and they shipped it home to us. We ate at an amazing outdoor restaurant on the water. And don’t forget to visit Athens!

    Dull
    Directions unclear, and so many missed opportunities for interesting information. 12 places were chosen, and too much and too boring information was given just on those. Chatty banter between two narrators was just annoying. I think this tour must have been cut & paste in 15 minutes. There’s so much history to every street in London- there’s no excuse for this.

    A pleasant place for a stroll
    This is a nice way to spend some time soaking up the sunlight if the weather is good. The punters are sometimes amusing to watch. So if you want a short break from a meeting or from the town it is a good thing to do.

    Unfortunately not good
    Not good at all. Although the commentary/guides was very informative it was spoilt by lack of instructions on direction. Several times I had to pause the tour and google search the next point location as the map with the App was pointless ... it pointed to a route that didn't have location points of the tour and didn't match the site. The App also seemed to distort several times when walking so I had to constantly restart. overall the guide has good potential with refining but for now it was unsatisfactory and a waste of money.

    Stratford walking tour
    Kate was an excellent tour guide, informative, knowledgeable and helpful. We visited many of the key attractions of Stratford on the tour. Well worth it.

    A haven in the city
    A stunning oasis of calm and nature in this very densely packed city. Above the street level the noise disappears and all around is planting, trees and birds - and the occasional rusty railway line. Get some close-ups of the eccentric architecture of people or corporations with more money than sense. En route you can stop off at the buildout into the Hudson River, and take in the views of Jersey City, drop down to the street to visit densely packed shopping arcades for a bite to eat or cup of coffee.

    How do I download this …
    Unable to download tour -I managed to download mine but no one else could. Took the tour and it was informative and engaging but had to quit 1/2 way through - legs got tired but I’d been walking previously.

    Buyer beware.
    The link I was sent didn't work. The pdf version wouldn't download. I wasted a lot of time trying to access this tour on my last afternoon in London and I'm mad about it all.

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.

I did this tour as part of the Comprehensive Cambridge pack and thoroughly enjoyed it. You get a really good sense of what it's like to be a student here, the history of Cambridge and its top sights. Good length too. Great introduction tour and i also loved their follow up options.

Loved this experience! Perfect for current times where you can completely avoid the crowds and other people and explore Cambridge in your own time. I always hate doing big group tours and this was such a perfect way to get an overview of Cambridge while exploring by yourself

Hello! We’re so glad you had a good experience. We definitely agree with you, this tour is perfect when you want to discover independently and safely. Next time you’re here, try the Cambridge Instagram Tour. It’s one of our newer tours. Thanks for the love! Alex and the Vidi Guides team

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.

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 or in-person tours. That is a different product provided by a different company, I’m afraid, which is indicated on the product’s page. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us!

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.

This tour was amazing! It gave me the opportunity to explore Cambridge and its student life! I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover how it is to live in such a wonderful place. As a fan of Harry Potter, I really enjoyed all the Colleges, they looked like Hogwarts!!

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
