A great way to see Stratford-Upon-Avon using the self guided audio app. It was very easy to use and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see the local tourist destinations

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!

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.
