Scam

Dora_B, Aug 2024
They pretended they are selling you walking tour tickets and you get pdf files. And of course they refuse to give you a refund Very disappointed.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

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. That is a different product provided by a different company, I’m afraid, which is indicated on the product’s page. Nevertheless, we've issued a full refund for your. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us!

A great experience that provides invaluable insights

Aiden_C, Jul 2024
The commentary by a former student is surprising and interesting. It provided insights on the student life in the college. The recommended visiting spots are remarkable, and the audio setting provides flexibility to the journey. I would, however, suggest that a voice system is incorporated into the map, verbally guiding us to the next location, as GPS systems sometimes misjudge the current location.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon!

Good afternoon, thank you for your feedback! We have reviewed the issue, and you paid for self-guided audio tours, and does not include an in-person guide. 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!

Good tour for family with young kids

connie_c, Aug 2023
Bringing along young kids, I can’t always join more expensive walking tours as most of the time it’s too long for kids to stay focused. However this is just perfect for us to take our own pace, and the guide is really good in getting us intrigued about their school life, so thank you and will definitely recommend. I’d join their other tours!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you soon in another one of our destinations!
