Starting point location given was incorrect by 2 miles! App mixed up two churches with similar names. After straightening that out the audio worked pretty well, except pics of buildings didn’t always coincide with the audio.

We went to meeting point as documented on booking form but there was no one there and there was no phone number to call Viator. Won’t never book anything with you again.

Good afternoon, thank you for your feedback. We have reviewed the issue, and you paid for self-guided audio tours, which doesn't 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!

The walking tour doesn't take much time, yet provides interesting information in a form of a dialogue. Distance is not long and can walk in your pace. Can pause anytime you like. New experience, but def will try it again.

We walked in heavy rain and found a taxi to return us to our hotel before the tour’s end. My main interest was the Thomas Cranmer sites, so I returned the next day to finish seeing the sites after listening to the dialog the day before. It was good to have this flexibility.

Really difficult web site to understand and not until you book do you get all the information. Have asked for a refund. Took my money immediately however none of the contact information worked. No response to messages. Didn’t end up going as couldn’t work out start place. None of the links worked. Despite lots of messages asking about my experience no contact about refund. DO NOT USE

Very easy way to walk around the heart of the Uni buildings and the main churches. I went around 5pm, however, and the sun had set and all the indoor buildings were closed. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't fully experience Oxford as intended, but I still enjoyed listening to the history and facts through this audio guide.
