We arrived in Brixton and the vidi guides app didn't work. It kept closing when we tried listening to the audio.
A really fun and interesting audio tour! Grew up in Lambeth and found this so fascinating! So happy I found this via the Trip app. I would recommend it to anyone, from holiday goers to locals
One would think after the prevoius complaints there would be some changes, but: no! The provided links in the e-mail didn’t work, I was unable to check in to my tour, e-mailed several times to the tour operator and the helpdesk from the app for the audio guide but didn’t get any support or answer to my request.
I booked those as part of a birthday celebration day. Couldn’t download the audio having followed the instructions. Messaged, emailed and phoned the contact on the booking confirmation. Got absolutely no response. Very poor experience

Paid the money for the self guided audio tour. No email with a link or file of the audio tour arrived via email. There were no instructions on the booking either. Attempts to contact the vendor via message and phone were not successful. Therefore, no self guided audio tour was ever taken. DO NOT book this tour, I believe it is a scam.

I never did the tour as it was totally unclear how to start it once I got to Brixton. So my booking was a waste of money.
Good afternoon, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that our tour did not meet your expectations.

We recommend downloading the tour before arriving to the site as sometimes there isn't enough internet connection to do so. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us!
Loved it all!!!! The history in the dance hall in the 50s. Stockwell skate park. David Bowies childhood home and of course Electric Avenue.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating. We really appreciate you being a customer and helping to share the word about us. We’re here for you anytime!
Great way to discover a new neighborhood at my own pace. Well made with interesting nuggets that bring the neighborhood to life
We are so grateful for your review, and we're happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your rating with us and the community!
I love these tours! I was living in London for a couple months and ended up finding these self pace audio tours out of luck. I got the London city pack. Each one’s gave a historical and modern understanding of the area I was exploring. The hosts are fun, engaging and interesting to listen to. My favorites were the brixton and south bank tour. One of the best purchases!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star rating - it's much appreciated! We are very happy to hear you enjoyed the audio tour and we hope to see you again soon!
Very interesting self-guided audio tour which shows history, music related spots and art of Brixton area. It has been an amazing way to walk around the neighborhood safely and learn a lot of cultural things. I really suggest trying this tour. To be fair, I had problems to download the audio guide by using the code I received from TripAdvisor booking, si I strongly suggest using their Vici Guides app directly to book the tour.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon!
