App for audio tour of Stratford on Avon - Enjoyed this self guided tour. Good interesting information on all the important tourist places. For the most part, directions easy to get from each to the next location. Good value for money.

Very nice visit - Nice little town with its pedestrian square and small shops. Shakespear’s birthplace and the school he attended take us to another era.

Fun way to learn about Shakespeare and see the heart of Stratford - Easy to use, entertaining and informative. I preferred this method of touring to a group tour. Could go at my own pace and pause the tour and make side trips when I wanted.

Clear commentary with excellent directions. - I love the flexibility of being able to go on this tour at your own convenience. The narrative was clear and I like their feature of telling you to refer to the map when you are not going in the correct direction. Otherwise, it works like Googlemaps with a bubble showing you the direction. I also appreciated being able to download it at home to make sure that it will work.

Super helpful guide - It was a great way of ensuring I didn’t miss the best parts - I would never have found many of these points by myself - or realised their significance. Will do again at other locations !!!!

Grand day out, weather, company and tour guide 👍 - Good tour, leans heavily towards the Bard, bit more general history would have been appreciated. Weather was brilliant so grateful for that. Not too busy mid morning, watch out for traffic!

Beats the crowded tours done by guides where you tag along. - Without this app guide we would have missed a significant highlight of our visit to Stratford. The guide takes you past all the main sites for which you can purchase entry tickets and they are very worthwhile. The beautiful walk however took us to the edge of the town down to Trinity Church where Shakespeare is actually buried. Not to be missed, this is a gem location not central to the main sites and only using this tour did we discover it. The spoken tour and map is fabulous, the narrator is excellent and we loved his pace and commentary. We used both online and offline maps/guide and did not notice any difference so ease of use is assured. Well worth the small price.

A good tour of Shakespeare’s Stratford. - This was our first experience with a tour app and with a “walking tour”. Overall we really liked the ability to pause the tour and re-listen to parts of it. The presenter has a pleasant voice which we easily understood. The only drawback for us is that we were taking the tour on a Sunday, so once we got to the later part of the tour at Trinity Church, we could not finish the tour because of the Sunday service taking place, so we missed seeing the tombs of Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway. Aside from that oversight, we are happy to recommend this tour.
