Every Stop Is a Real Place
Each stop is geocoded to an actual location and the walking route between them comes from live routing data. That means the distance and the walking time you see are measured, not estimated by someone who never walked it.
Free to Walk, Nothing to Book
The map, the stops and the distance cost nothing to see in the app, and there is nothing to book. Start when you like, stop for lunch halfway through, skip the bit that does not interest you. It is your afternoon.
Go at Your Own Pace
The single biggest complaint about guided tours is the pace. Too fast at the part you cared about, too slow at the part you did not. Self-guided means you set it, and you can sit down for twenty minutes without holding anyone up.
Do It With Company If You Want
A self-guided tour is a solo activity by default, and that is the one thing we wanted to fix. Start any tour in the app with Others can join and people nearby can ask to come along. Same route, same stops, someone to talk to.
Audio That Works Without Signal
Download a tour you own on hotel wifi before you leave and the narration plays with no signal and no roaming data. The street map still needs a connection, so keep a little data for that.
Get the Audio Tour in 3 Simple Steps
All in the free Walk With Me app, and the intro and stop 1 of every tour are free to try.

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.
What a self-guided tour gives you, and what it leaves out
A self-guided walking tour is a mapped route through a city that you follow on your own, stop by stop, with no guide and no start time. You decide when to go, how fast to walk and how long to stay at each stop.
On your own in a new city, getting lost is rarely the problem. The problem is standing on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh with a dozen narrow closes running off it, knowing one of them is worth the detour and having no idea which. A good route solves half of that by putting the stops in an order that makes sense on foot, so you never climb the same hill twice. The other half, knowing why a place matters, is what signs, a guidebook or a narrated stop are for.
A few checks before you set off save an afternoon. Look at where the route ends as well as where it starts, because finishing across town from your hotel adds a walk the total doesn't show. Treat the listed time as walking only, since on a good route the stops can take as long as the walking. And if you'll be on roaming, load what you need on Wi-Fi before you leave.
In the Walk With Me app, each of our more than 280 tours doubles as a self-guided route. Start one and the whole route and every stop appear on the map, with your own position moving along it, so you can follow it without a printout or a second app. Most take 30 to 90 minutes of walking, over 2 to 5 km.
Walk With Me is free on iPhone and Android, and so are the route, the map and the story at the first stop of every tour. The narration for the rest is a one-time purchase per tour, with no subscription. If you would rather not walk alone, start the route as a walk others can join and people nearby can ask to come along.

Walk With Me vs VoiceMap

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The app is free, and starting any tour shows its whole route and every stop on the map without paying. The introduction and the first stop are narrated free too. Only the narration for the remaining stops is a one-time purchase.

Partly. The map needs data to load and to show where you are. A tour you've bought downloads to your phone, so its narration plays without a signal.
