Good way to explore Greenwich by foot

Mila_S, Jul 2025

Good way to explore the main attractions in Greenwich. As first time users of the app, it took us a little while to figure out how it works. Since we arrived by boat, it would have made more sense to start the walking tour from Point #2 rather than walk all the way back-and-forth to Point #1 via the tunnel and the stairs under the Thames. This option should be offered and explained in the introduction.
