Intelligent audio guide for London now available on the Android Marketplace

Millions of people visit London every year, making the city the one of the top tourist destinations in the world. The thriving metropolis on the River Thames captivates inquisitive travellers with its distinctly British appeal, as well as its numerous attractions and well known landmarks.

While the annual tourist numbers look impressive, they are still expected to go up even more this year, as London will host the 2012 Olympic Games. Tens of thousands of tourists are set to arrive from the rest of the United Kingdom, mainland Europe, and even further afield. The city will certainly be gearing up for this surge in visitors in the coming months.

There’s so much to see and do in London, and a trip to the city can be a daunting task for even the most seasoned traveller. That’s why Hummba decided to put together an intelligent audio travel guide to the city, available for download on the Android Marketplace.

The guide uses smartphone GPS technology to provide you with information about points of interest near your location. You can find out all about Buckingham Palace for example, while you watch the changing of the guard. Hummba’s intelligent audio guides will help you discover places to see and things to do that you might otherwise have missed. It’s like having your own personal tour guide.

Some of the attractions featured in the guide include Piccadilly Circus, which is lined with hundreds of restaurants, bars and shops, and has long been a favourite meeting place for locals and tourists alike. London’s famous Hyde Park, which serves as the venue for spectacular outdoor music concerts and festivals is also featured. For the more culturally inclined, this guide offers you all the information you need about London’s many museums and theatres, including a detailed look at the famous West End theatre district.

The intelligent audio guide to London is available on the Android Marketplace for $5.99 and can be downloaded directly onto your smartphone here. For more information about Hummba or about our intelligent guides that speak to you, visit www.hummba.com.
