Self-guided means you hold the phone. You can abandon it for a pub. You can also get the route wrong between Bank and Monument. You are not paying for a human to keep the group moving.

Cheapest paid option besides doing it with a free map. The studio is still a different ticket. If you get lost in the City, pay for a live guide next time.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Download

    Do this on hotel Wi-Fi. The City is a bad place to discover the app needs an account.

  2. 2

    Walk

    Pause for coffee. That is the point of not having a group.

  3. 3

    Skip bits

    You will. A live guide would not let you.

Highlights

  • Go at your own pace
  • Usually cheaper than a live guide
