Short walk in Cambridge history from the other side. - Great tour, pleasant to listen, balanced content from historical facts to side stories, form of dialogue between interviewer and professional. Great to experience Cambridge history set in meadows. Yet relatively pricey in my opinion as it included 6 stops by about 5 minutes each.

Excellent way to discover Cambridge at your own pace - Really nice way to discover Cambridge away from the crowded (sometimes boring) standard guided tours. I was not sure what to expect first but this is definitely a great app to discover new places and learn interesting facts! It is like having a private tour guide by your side that you can take with you everywhere and turn off/on when you wish;) Would definitely recommend it for Cambridge and try the app myself in other places!

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.
