Great way to learn about and see the city. Can't beat the price for the quality. The app was easy to use and helped me get to the right starting point. Would recommend to anyone, particularly a solo traveler looking to see some of the main sites in Cardiff.

This was a great audio tour. The tech was excellent, the tour worked off your location and it was easy to stop the audio if you wanted to spend longer at a stop, then resume when ready. Information provided was excellent. Great way to walk around Cardiff Bay, highly recommend, it’s excellent value!
