Rick Steves' Audio Tours

We are considering the Westminster Walk tour and/or the London City Walk tour. How much time should we allocate for each of these tours?

Believe it says the amount of time to allow towards the beginning of each of his audio tours. When we did them, we sped things up, so they took us less time.

These notes are from the printed version in Rick's London 2018:

Westminster Walk: Allow one hour for a leisurely walk, and add more time if you tour the Churchill War Rooms (1-2 hours) and the Banqueting House (30-60 minutes). Other nearby sights include the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, and St. Martin-in-the-Fields.

City Walk: Allow three or more hours, depending on what you visit. With less time, you can skip a mile’s worth of the Strand by taking the Tube directly to Temple, picking up the walk at St. Clement Danes, then ending at St. Paul’s. Less-important stops along the way include the Temple Church, Inns of Court, and Dr. Johnson’s House.
