Review of Buckingham Palace’s walking tour, palace entry, audio guide, value, meeting point, route, guide quality, and practical tips.
“We had a great experience on this tour! David was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. At first we weren’t sure how important the walk through St James Park was, as we weren’t familiar with it. But it was super informative, and all the royal history we learned while walking helped to bring the actual palace to life in a different way. Also thoroughly enjoyed the visit to Buckingham Palace! 10/10 recommend if you’re visiting at a time they’re open to visitors. It was even more grand and opulent than I could ever imagine. We knew ahead of time that we wouldn’t have a physical tour guide for the…”

Review of Bath’s $25 self-guided audio walk, covering seven historic stops, app reliability, admission costs, route value, and practical tips.

Explore London’s South Bank with a funny, offline audio walk linking Shakespeare’s Globe, Tate Modern, Gabriel’s Wharf, and the National Theatre.
“This is a great self-guided tour of the interesting south bank of the Thames, starting at South Bank Centre (near Embankment Tube station) and ending by the Southwark Bridge. I found the commentary funny, informative and helpful. It's easy to follow along on the map and they have helpful pictures of sights they are talking about so you can easily find them. Well done!”
