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

a very fun afternoon checking out the various stalls and the music and the scenery....well worth a visit...stayed for a couple of meals and went back the next day to have dinner....lots of fun for the atmosphere

We never did the tour because I could not get a response from the Guides to answer some questions I wanted to ask. Disappointing and frustrating. The three separate phone numbers were never returned and messages were never answered. Will not bother again.

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!

An interesting tour, taking me into some places off the main route. However, it did seem to overlook some main points; more detail on the church?

If you want to see London and not do the normal tourist attractions, this is for you. This walk takes you through many places where you can stop find a cafe and take in the scenery as you go. It would be good if the map had street names, but was still easy to self navigate. I hope you do more for other cities in the UK as will certainly use them again.

Abandoned tour after fourth waypoint. Map unusable without street names. Narrators’ banter trite and unhelpful. Refund requested!

Awesome tour! I’ve used their tours all over the UK but this was my favourite. Great content and a great way to explore Covent Garden away from other people

Very cool info and able to do at ur own pace. Wish there was better cues on what directions to turn however it allowed us to explore well

Really enjoyed this tour of Covent Garden, as even though we had visited the neighbourhood before, it have a new perspective of its culture and cuisine, that we I didn't know already!
