### 3/5 — Good and Bad

*2025-11-04, version 5.4.0*

It was good to get all the tours in one place, but this app doesn’t provide any of the tours. They are only handing you off to another tour group. You can only find that in the fine print at the bottom of your email. Nothing on the ticket says where to meet, or what company you are going with. 
In the case of the Beefeater tour of Tower of London, we couldn’t find the tour, so we joined another group. When we called Golden Tours about this, they told us we only had entry, no tour. 
Go directly to a tour company and book with them. Use this app to generate ideas only, then book elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Wrong info for tubes and buses

*2025-04-18, version 5.3.8*

The ap needs updating with tube and buses info. As the lives are wrong. We followed this and ended up south of the river in completely the wrong place due to the information provided.

### 1/5 — False Advertising

*2024-06-25, version 5.3.7*

Visit London as a tour operator and ticket seller advertises a tour for Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor Castle but fails to mention that Windsor Castle is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. It’s only after purchasing the tickets that it stipulates the closure and apparently Windsor has operated these closures for over 4 years.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2024-02-07, version 5.3.7*

Just downloaded this app for my upcoming London trip. Tried to set up my Itinerary however; it did not recognise my first two items (Gielgud Theatre and Horizon 22) so, gave up on it and found a different app.

### 4/5 — Cool app

*2023-07-17, version 5.3.6*

This app is fire bro. One minor issssssssue, none of the links are working. So not so fire: more like lukewarm

Do better bro

### 3/5 — Pourquoi pas multilingue

*2023-01-06, version 5.3.6*

Devrais contenir un choix de langue

### 5/5 — Update tube Map

*2022-07-27, version 5.3.6*

Hi guys nice app but you have to update the tube map with Elizabeth Line.

### 5/5 — Great but Stat Current!

*2022-05-26, version 5.3.5*

During my trip, your tube map was so much easier to maneuver than the official underground site’s. That said, you’ve had quite a while to prepare for adding the brand new Elizabeth Line to your map. I will be back soon and I will look forward to that update, thank you!

### 1/5 — Obnoxious

*2022-01-27, version 5.3.1*

Deleted this app before we even traveled abroad. Every time you open the app it plays an obnoxious jingle. So stupid and outdated. There is no way to disable this “feature” so it is no longer on any of our phones.

### 3/5 — Promising

*2021-10-04, version 5.3.0*

A promising app but needs regular updates to cover current restrictions. Example is Changing of the Guard timings. Should give links to other websites that will give up to date information such as
Householddivision.org.uk
