Don’t waste you time booking with Viator
Nathalie_P, Aug 2023
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.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
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!
Worth give it a go!
Magdalena_M, Aug 2023
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.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Good afternoon, we really appreciate the time you took to write your review about Vidi Guides! We are so happy you enjoyed our audio walking tour. Thank you for the love!
Memorable
Lien_N, Apr 2023
He told me very interesting stories. Thank you very much. I am impressed by the facts and places he showed me in details throughout the history of Oxford.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you again in another one of our destinations!
Thorough, but flexible
Anne_D, Apr 2023
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.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you so much for this 5-star review. We really appreciate you being a customer and helping to share the word about us. We’re here for you anytime!
Terrible
Cara_E, Nov 2022
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
Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us!
Fun
Stefania_G, Mar 2022
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.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
