London is good to go, way ahead of the travel curve

Monday, 17 Mar, 2009 0

A brand new series of high quality mp3 guides from Way2Goguides have been launched to leisure and business travelers coming to London.

The Way2GoGuides are set to revolutionize London’s major attraction industry by offering a more sensory experience, which gives visitors a chance to hear real Londoners talk about ‘their London’, as well as sharing usual local knowledge.

The series of 12 guides, which are available online at http://www.Way2GoGuides.com and http://www.visitlondon.com offer the visitor an alternative – one that goes beyond just the venue, and where the experience can begin at home.

Based around an hour of pristine quality mp3 audio, Way2GoGuides use professional actors, authentic music and sophisticated sound design, all skillfully crafted to memorable effect. Likened to a ‘docu-drama’, Way2GoGuides tell a compelling story – in the words of those who were there.

Examples of the guide include eavesdropping on King Charles I’s execution, witnessing a night in the Blitz, witnessing the coronation of a king or traveling back to Shakespeare’s London on the London Eye.

Frustrated by the one dimensional nature of most London audio guides on offer, Way2GoGuides Director, Randle Stonier commented, "There was a lack of choice for the visitor, both in what was on offer, and the way it could be used. Way2GoGuides offers a quality, visitor experience across the breadth of London’s attractions. The guides are so flexible that they can be used by any visitors – whether you’re a family or a businessman, right through to a large school trip".

The content for each guide is meticulously researched to provide the visitor with a comprehensive guide that is authoritative, moving, yet leaving room for the notorious British wit.
Taking advantage of their independence, the guides are designed from a user’s perspective, going beyond the boundaries of official guides and taking a holistic approach to ensure a perfect trip. Non-prescriptive, the guides give the visitor flexibility according to their situation; so can be enjoyed at any stage of their journey.

Each guide comes with a set of tailored FastFacts, which again, exceed just the usual visitor information and offer invaluable tips and suggestions that can transform the experience.
The range of guides include: A Taste of London, Kew Gardens, Maritime Greenwich, St Paul’s Cathedral, The Banqueting House & Whitehall, The British Museum, The London Eye, The River Thames, The Royal Parks, The Tower of London, Tube Guru and The Westminster Abbey.

Preloaded Way2GoGuides mp3players will shortly be available from selected retailers.
GuidzAlive Limited owns Way2GoGuides, a company specifically created by travel gurus and audio professionals with a mission to enrich the lives or travelers, tourists, locals and cultural armchair aficionados through compelling audio and multimedia experiences.
