London Calling

Now that the holiday season is upon us; many will be jetting off to all parts of the world.

Once we arrive in our chosen destination, it would be nice to have a guide available to help us find the more interesting places.

This is where GPSmycity.com comes in; they have an iPhone app that works as a personal tour guide, helping you navigate independently and with ease through cities around the world; from Acapulco to Vladivostok.

In total there are 5,000 tours spanning 470 cities worldwide.

GPSmycity.com have recently released a self-guided tour for London. To celebrate this they asked me to run a Quiz/Competition on the blog.





Readers that get the following questions correct will win three free city walk iPhone apps, to the cities of their choice.
