Cool ways to kill the tour leader

Exploring a city should never be courtesy of an old guy on a bus with a microphone. We personally enjoy getting lost via some kind of underground system and then play a fun game of trying to find our way back by hitting bars and drinking a penalty at each one.
In Berlin, it would be silly not to try the new urban street art tour which is a free iPhone app sponsored by Adidas. According to Springwise:
map of Berlin that’s pegged with the locations of its urban art
masterpieces. The map can be navigated in several ways: "Find artworks
nearby" provides users with a map of art works in their immediate
vicinity; "Tour guide" calls up a curated walking tour of local urban
art; and "Gallery" gives users the option to browse the city's street
art and then seek out their favourite pieces. Users can click on each
marked location to call up images as well as information about the
piece, the artist and further references.
MP3 tours are nothing new, but Puma's running tours of cities are also pretty desirable. Next time we're in London we'll be doing the sights with Linford Christie.
Loads of ideas an opportunities leading up to next year's big football event in our city. But for a real hands-on experience of Cape Town you can't go wrong with one of the many tours from the guys at Coffeebeans Routes. It's one where you meet colourful people rather than look at old, cold buildings.
