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

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 each stop's story plays automatically when GPS detects you have arrived. 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 the narration starts by itself. 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 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, your screen can stay locked, 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 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 GPS-triggered narration to a self-guided route: the same itinerary a walking tour app draws on the map plays as a story in your ears, and on the live map you can browse walks near you to hear it in company.
