Cameron_M, Apr 2026
I thought this walk was very good value. I was looking to book on a 60-90 minute in person guided walk, but the times didn’t quite work out, so I thought I’d give this one a go.
I thought it was excellent. Unlike a guided walk with an individual guide, I could take my time when particular things interested me, and there wasn’t the issue of not being able to hear the guide, as sometimes happens with large groups. The thing I really liked which I hadn’t appreciated when I purchased it, was that I could do the walk over several days. It is quite long, and it would probably have taken me three hours to do it all in one go, so I actually did it over three days in short spells of time, which worked really well for me. The narrations were informative, and I definitely discovered things that there’s no way I would’ve found wandering around Cambridge by myself.

What a thoughtful review, Cameron — thank you! You've put your finger on the things we love most about self-guided: no straining to hear a guide in a crowd, time to linger wherever something catches you, and the freedom to spread a longer walk across several days (Cambridge in three short spells sounds perfect). We're especially glad it surfaced things you'd never have stumbled on alone — that's the whole idea. Thanks for giving it a go when the in-person timings didn't line up; we're delighted it paid off!

The download was informative but a little lacking. Was hoping for a bit more info on each site and maybe add a few more sites.
Also was frustrating that (within the app) if you try to plan your route to the next site it will stop and reset the audio description of the current site.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for the honest "just ok", grayson — we'd much rather be aiming higher than that! Two really useful things here. First, that bug where planning your route to the next stop interrupts and resets the current audio is a genuine glitch, and we're flagging it straight to our dev team. Second, your wish for a bit more depth and a few more sites is exactly the kind of input our Cambridge guide can act on. If you'd like, drop Veronica a line at veronica.grifa@exploro.app — we'd value knowing which sites you wanted more from, and we'll make sure you're looked after.

We did the Cambridge Walking Tour Guide and if you're reading the reviews to decide if you should download it, just do it. It was brilliant. Although we had the option to use the audio version, we actually used the text one. We could take our time, the app pings you when to stop and read, the information is really interesting and nicely written, it's all nicely paced. And for that price, we considered it excellent value. So stop thinking, and download it.

Hi Tom,
Wow — thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you found the Cambridge tour brilliant and that it gave you the flexibility to explore the city at your own pace. It’s great to know the written version worked so well for you — that’s exactly the kind of freedom we aim to offer. Your kind words mean a lot to our team and content creators. We hope to see you on another tour soon — there’s plenty more to discover!
Warm regards,
