Pocket Tour Guide
A guide in your pocket, wherever you are.

From a spare afternoon to a walk full of stories.
Ten storytellers with distinct personalities — a Kyoto field historian, a Naples ex-chef, a ranger, a novelist. Choose the voice, the humour, what they love to talk about. Rename them if you like.
The guides are AI — written characters with synthetic voices. Everywhere they take you is real.
Greek, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic — 33 languages in all. Pick one and every story, the narration and the chat come in it. Switch whenever you like; tours you’ve already started keep theirs.
Six quick questions: the city, the hours you have, whether to weave in a coffee stop or a proper meal, what you love, the pace, any accessibility needs. Half a minute of taps — every answer bends the route.
It builds the route — real places verified against opening hours, in a walkable order, with the meal where it belongs — and draws your whole day as one dotted line on the map.
At every stop your guide tells the story out loud — the history, the detail most visitors miss, what to notice next. Download the tour and the day works with no signal — stories, voices, photos and the map. Asking your guide something new is the one thing that needs a connection.
Photograph a carving, a plaque, a strange door — your guide tells you what you’re looking at, in character, right there on the street. Follow-up questions welcome.
It watches the hourly forecast. When rain is coming, it offers to rework the day — same places reordered so you’re indoors for the wet hours, or exposed stops swapped for sheltered gems nearby.
Before you leave the Wi-Fi, save the tour to your phone — the stories, the narration, the photos and the map. It downloads in the background while you pack, then opens and plays with no signal at all.
Recordings cover a catalogue. Famous cities, famous routes. Pocket Tour Guide builds the day wherever you’re standing — including the towns nobody recorded.
Recordings age. Your day here is planned from real places checked against live data — open now, still there, still worth the walk.
Recordings can’t hear you. Photograph the plaque, ask the question, get an answer on the spot — and the one after that.
You still get the storytelling — ten human-sounding voices, one continuous take. You just also get answers.
Pocket Tour Guide handles the planning; your guide handles the telling.
Name a city and the hours you have — it builds a walkable route, first stop to last.
Smart ordering, food breaks placed on the way, and “start from where I am”.
Routes respect real opening hours for your time of day; closed gems wait in “worth visiting”.
Reorder stops, swap one for a nearby alternative, or add a spot you just spotted.
Every stop narrated in a natural, human-sounding voice — ten of them, one continuous take.
Pick your guide and set their humour, the topics they linger on, and their energy.
Chat about any stop — even snap a photo and ask “what is this?”.
Tours and stories in the language you travel in.
Drop a pin on the map and scope the whole day to a single neighbourhood.
Stories, narration, photos and the map area saved before you leave the Wi-Fi.
Checks the hourly forecast and offers to rework the day around the rain.
Routes avoid stairs where they can, and each stop shows the accessibility information Google holds for it. That data isn’t complete everywhere — worth confirming with the venue for anything you’re relying on.
Local SIMs, the food and transport apps people there actually use, emergency numbers, nearby hospitals — even your embassy. Researched on the open web, with official safety advice behind the warnings.
Every stop is checked against Google Places before it reaches your route. If it doesn’t exist, or the name doesn’t match, it doesn’t make the tour. Opening hours come from the same place — they can change, so it’s worth a glance before a long walk.
Send any stop to Google Maps, Waze, Uber or Bolt — whatever’s on your phone.
In an actual emergency, dial the local number directly rather than going through the app.
After the walk. Publish a day to Explore, browse tours other travellers made, or share a link that opens yours. Turn a finished day into a printable magazine — cover, stories and photos. Your guide, tours and chats follow your account wherever you sign in.
Your first tour is free. Up to three hours, from a shorter list of interests and without a food stop, so you can hear what a guide sounds like before you pay for anything. After that, one credit plans one full day. Credits don’t expire.
One full day, planned and narrated — route, stories, voices, offline map.
A city break, three days of it — any cities, whenever you like.
For the frequent traveller — €2.50 a day, used whenever you like.
Prices shown in euro. Your app store shows the final price in your own currency, with any local tax already applied, before you confirm.
One credit plans one full day. Editing stops, rain-proofing and replaying are always free, and credits stay on your account for as long as Pocket Tour Guide runs.
Your next free afternoon deserves better than a top-10 list.
