    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 link I was sent didn't work. The pdf version wouldn't download. I wasted a lot of time trying to access this tour on my last afternoon in London and I'm mad about it all.
