Surprisingly entertaining for non Shakespeare fanatics - It was surprisingly entertaining. Easy to follow with the in built GPS map which shows your location with a blue dot and markers for the stops clearly marked in number order. Each stop was only about 4-6mins and the commentators were easily to listen to. They bounced off each other well and it just seemed like you were listening to a conversation. Highly recommend!! Took us about 1.5hrs to complete the tour but we did go slow.

Quick Tour, Great Value - We wanted a simple way to see the majority of key spots in Stratford upon Avon and this was perfect for that. We were able to download the tour so we didn’t have to be connected to the internet which was perfect since we were traveling without a cell data plan. Enjoyable listen!

Recommend this tour. Good value - The audio tour was exactly what we wanted.The only problem we had was with the first stop as the narration kept cutting out. We saw all the main places of interest and enjoyed the dialogue

Good value and informative - We down loaded this before our visit which meant that we were able to be flexible when to begin. It is very clear and easy to use with lots of interesting information included. It didn’t take too long but was long enough to be a decent sized activity on our mini break. Very good.

Great tour but didn’t get to finish it!! - I had paid and downloaded the tour yesterday, we stopped for a drink part way through and when I tried to open the tour again, it closed and it wouldn’t allow me back in unless I paid again? I messaged Viator asking to allow us to access it again the next day so we could finish the tour but I had no reply.

Failed Experience - Never got sent the Vidi Guides follow up email with the code for the app, so my money was wasted. Tried following up with Viator AND Vidi Guides, but no help.
