We’ve well and truly moved with the times and are really excited about our new and innovative London walks service.
Imagine having your own personal guide who can lead you all over London showing you the sites that interest you and all for just 50p. How’s that for an inexpensive tour of London?
How can this be?
Well, Roger Grant, Mark Ubsdell and Richard Jones have teamed up to take London Walking Tours to their next level.
Being true London tour innovators, talented film makers and with fingers on the pulse of modern tourism they have come up with The Electric Tourist, a new website that enables people to actually download London walks on subjects as diverse as Beatles London, Dickens London, Haunted London and Jack the Ripper London walks.
Within moments you can have a tour guide pop up on your mobile phone screen and have them tell you all about the location you are standing at.
Take Dickens London walks for example. Picture the scene. You’re standing in the very alley where Charles Dickens sited Scroodge’s Counting House in a Christmas Carol.
It’s atmospheric, it’s cobwebbed by time and you are really soaking in the atmosphere. But, now you can quickly download a tour guide onto your mobile phone who will tell you what you’re looking at.
Furthermore, you can also watch a sequence of dramatic reconstructions that spirit you back to how that very spot looked in Charles Dickens day.
Suddenly you are watching Victorian Londoners going about their daily business in the fog bathed streets of the City. You see Charles Dickens standing at the location pondering the creation of Scrooge.
You can listen to the very words Dickens wrote complete with background noises. How absolutely cool would that be?
And now its possible. The most innovative group of names on the London walks scene have put their creative skills together and have made this possible.
