Great Self-Guided Audio Walking Tour

5.00We enjoyed our audio tour. We found it to be educational and liked that we could do it at our own pace. The app worked perfectly! Will look for more self-guided audio tours in the future.
Educational and interesting

4.00Really loved the commentary and learned a lot of history and about the architecture and some about the modern royal family too. Would have liked less standing still, but not sure how that would work with all the info being imparted..
A great overview and time filler

5.00We had an afternoon to fill in and wanted to wander the streets at our own pace. This was the perfect solution to see the sights and gain some knowledge, rather than just walk past buildings and not know about them. An easy to use program, using GPS to allow us to walk without having to know the city. Great narration as well. Highly recommended.
Content good, navigation mapping poor

4.00An engaging audio tour. Good length and level of detail. The navigation was only so-so. It is supposed to auto-start when you get to the location but this almost never worked, I had to keep the map open and force the play when I get to each location. Have done others from this app that worked better in this respect. Still was easy to follow but had to be done manully.
