The information was very interesting and the presentation entertaining. But, the routing on the map was non-functional in the area - no internet and no way to follow the map from location to location. This wqas true even on my map apps sdeparate from the tour one. I had to guess at some locations but finally took the app home and sat and liistened to ther narration where I had wifi and then pl,otyted out where to find some of the sites I hadnt been able to locate initially.

The app kept crashing on us as we went around Covent Garden, we tried a few times to get it back, in the end we were able to but it charged us again, so we were charged twice. It wasn't the best app to follow either a bit disjointed

Covent Garden we hadn’t been
to before.

App was easy to follow, and was able to set our own pace. Made the mistake of eating before hand. You go past a number of great cafes and bakeries, so no eat before.

I enjoyed my guided walk through Covent Garden, seeing little courtyards and alleys that I wouldn’t have done otherwise, and hearing the history of the area. I will now know where to look for a lovely spot to eat on my next visit.

The trouble with the app was that by the time i got to the 7th stop 2 people were talking over each other so that I couldn’t understand what eithor was saying. Very disappointing

The tour was so easy to access. The guides on the tour were pleasant to listen to and very entertaining as we walked the tour. It was easy to follow where they were sending us on the tour. Covent Garden did not disappoint. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

Absolutely lovely tour! We loved it - we had visited Covent Garden before but never knew of all these stories surrounding it. It was a great experience getting to know the area a bit better and the tour itself was very entertaining.
