Our mobile guides

Explore the world with our mobile apps.

We want our guides to be a treasure trove of knowledge in your pocket. Each one describes the main sights in a clear, accessible way. There’s an offline map, too, and practical information – contact details, opening hours and websites. You’ll find tips on how to get there and when to go (or perhaps… when NOT to go). Now and then we add a few amusing or intriguing facts…

All so that you can concentrate on what matters most: exploring. After all, it’s your time – and your holiday.

Our audio guides

The heart of our apps, though, is our audio guides. Some apps include several; others have… more than ten! Over the years, we have created more than a hundred of them, taking you to places in fourteen countries on three continents – in twenty languages.

We write every script with care. These aren’t descriptions lifted from Wikipedia: we want what we tell you to be useful and to stay with you long after your trip. They are ready-made, well-researched routes around the most interesting places, prepared by our experts using their local knowledge and trusted sources. Each one takes us many hours – planning the route, gathering information, writing the scripts, translating… all so that you can reach the places that are truly worth seeing.

Sometimes we create an alternative to the official guide. When we do, we try to tell the story in a simpler, more engaging way – without dry facts or jargon.

Every app includes samples of our audio guides – try them and hear the difference! You can read about the far-from-simple process of creating them on this page.

Paid-for? Of course!

Our guides aren’t free – quality, sadly, comes at a price. The scripts, the research and, finally… the writing itself – all of it is first and foremost the work of our authors. And our translators. When you buy an app, that’s what you’re paying for! Others read from crib sheets (or straight from Wikipedia) – we tell you stories!
