I really like the idea. Seems like I'm the first walker in my city, but the concept is exactly what I wanted.

Handcrafted for Your Time in the City
These tours aren't a checklist of sights. They're made to be walked slowly, headphones on, eyes on the city.
Meditative and Immersive
Each story is told where it happened. The app chimes when you reach a stop, one tap starts the story, and the stretch between stops is yours to take in at your own pace.
Handcrafted With Care
We choose every route and every stop ourselves and shape each story with care, so the time you have in the city goes to the places most worth seeing.
Better With Someone
Every walk is better with someone beside you, so if you can bring a friend, we really hope you do. That's why one purchase covers everyone you invite: they join your tour free.
Key Takeaways
- An audio walking tour is a self-guided route with recorded narration waiting at every stop.
- Arrivals are detected by GPS, so the app chimes when you reach a stop and the story is one tap away.
- The intro and first few stops of every tour are free; a one-time purchase unlocks the rest, with no subscription.
- Each narrated tour also exists as a free written guide with a route map and GPX download.
- Walk it alone and private, or open your walk so other people can join and listen with you.
What is a audio walking tour?
An audio walking tour is a self-guided city walk with a recorded narrator: you follow a mapped route on your own schedule, and the app lets you know when GPS detects you have reached each stop so you can hear its story. It combines the freedom of a self-guided walking tour with the storytelling of a guided one.
Most walking tours make you choose between reading and walking. You stop, scroll, find your place in the guide, look up, and the moment is gone. An audio walking tour removes that friction: the app watches the route while you watch the city, and when you reach a stop it chimes and the story is one tap away. No group to keep up with, no departure time, no guide to tip.
Here is how it works in Walk With Me. Pick a narrated tour, tap Listen, and walk to the first stop at your own pace. As you arrive, a chime plays, you tap, and the narrator picks up the story of exactly where you are standing, with a bed of local music underneath. Between stops the audio stays quiet, and the next chapter waits until you get there. Reach the final stop and an outro rounds off the walk.
Every audio tour is free to try: the introduction and the first two or three stops cost nothing, on every tour, in every city. When you want the rest, you unlock the whole narrated tour with a single one-time purchase that is yours to keep, no subscription. And because a tour in Walk With Me is a real walk rather than a playlist, you can keep it private and go alone, or open it up so other walkers nearby can join you and listen along.
The narrated tours grow out of our written city guides, from Budapest and Paris to Rome, Vienna and Kyoto, with more cities recorded as new routes are published. Each guide stays free to read, with the full route map, every stop named, and a GPX download, so you can always walk the route the classic way first and save the narration for the streets.
An audio walking tour adds narration to a self-guided route: the same itinerary a walking tour app draws on the map, with a chime and a tap-to-listen story at each stop, and you can browse walks near you to hear it in company.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is a self-guided walking tour with narration built in. You follow a mapped route through the city, and when you reach a stop, the app plays a recorded story about that exact place. There is no group and no schedule; you start whenever you like and walk at your own pace.
The app uses your GPS position while the walk is live. When you come within about 100 meters of the next stop, it plays a soft chime (or sends a notification if the app is in the background), and you tap to hear that stop's story. Between stops it stays silent.
Partly. On every narrated tour, the introduction and the first stops are free for everyone: three stops on most tours, two on the shortest ones. To hear the rest, you buy that tour once and keep it, with no subscription. The written guides on the blog, with maps and GPX files, are completely free.
The library spans cities across Europe, North America and Asia, from Budapest, Paris and Rome to New York, Kyoto and Barcelona, and new cities are added as tours are recorded. Every city in the walking tours library also has a free written guide you can already follow, narrated or not.
Yes. When you start a tour you can keep it to yourself, walk it with a friend, or open it as a walk others can join. Everyone walks the same route together, every stop plays on every phone in the group, and one purchase covers everyone on your walk.
Headphones are the best way to hear the narration over street noise, but they are not required; the audio plays through your phone's speaker too. Bone-conduction or single-ear headphones are a good middle ground if you want to stay aware of traffic.
