Best purchase - I love these tours! I was living in London for a couple months and ended up finding these self pace audio tours out of luck. I got the London city pack. Each one’s gave a historical and modern understanding of the area I was exploring. The hosts are fun, engaging and interesting to listen to. My favorites were the brixton and south bank tour. One of the best purchases!!

Learn about music, history and art of Brixton whenever you want - Very interesting self-guided audio tour which shows history, music related spots and art of Brixton area. It has been an amazing way to walk around the neighborhood safely and learn a lot of cultural things. I really suggest trying this tour.
To be fair, I had problems to download the audio guide by using the code I received from TripAdvisor booking, si I strongly suggest using their Vici Guides app directly to book the tour.

Interesting info for a different part of London, away from the mainstream tourist attractions - Very interesting tour and background information through a neighbourhood I wouldn‘t have experiennced otherwise. Though, honestly I stopped after the David Bowie mural, which was my main focus.
