Great way to explore a new town. History was interesting, structure good and narrators voice was a pleasure to listen to. Most importantly it was good value for money.

A bit fiddly to set up, and a few GPS stutters as we walked around - but generally a good idea and worthwhile experience. The narrative was good - informative without being over-long. Cirencester is a beautiful town!
