Self-guided walking tours in your headphones

The guide walks in your headphones

Put your headphones on and start walking: someone who has lived in the city tells it to you street by street, at your pace, with no group and no schedule.

Pick a walk

How it works

Drawing of a coastal town: the promenade, one person walking alone and the route marked with red dots that end at a single point

  1. Pick a walk.

    Every story lives in a real city, and the person telling it is from there.

  2. Go to the starting point.

    The walk starts at a precise point on the street, and you see the way there on the map.

  3. Walk and listen.

    You set out from the starting point and the story moves with your steps: it waits when you stop and goes on when you do.

In your language

EspañolРусскийPortuguêsEnglish

You choose the language of the walk when you buy it, along with the day. Which languages each one is recorded in is on its own page.
With or without internet
The walk plays online. If you would rather go without signal, download it before you set out and the voice, the route and the map stay on your phone: no data, no roaming.
No app store
It opens from a link in your phone browser and sits on your home screen in two taps: like an app, without the store.

How it sounds

We are going where you were going anyway: the promenade, the lighthouse, the port, that monument where everyone takes the photo. I will tell you what is not on the plaque, and along the way something I never told anyone.

A minute with someone from the place: See all the walks

It is not a narrator reading facts: it is people from the place. A lifelong neighbour, a dockworker from the port, a drummer from the barrio.

The characters are fiction; what they tell you about the city is true.
