    Incredible introductory tour to London, specifically to the Westminster and Parliament area. At first, I was a bit sceptical to do this tour alone with my phone but it turned out really nice. Having plenty of time to take pictures and walk at my own pace was really cool and Daniel’s audio guide made it a more personal experience (a really knowledgeable guy and a friendly voice!). It took me about 2 hours to complete the walking tour, and I really enjoyed it! I am certainly looking forward to booking more tours with these guys!
