Travel across UK, USA & Europe to hear about plaques, architectural features, important people, geologic oddities, historic events, key cultural moments & other interesting facts at the spot where they are when you travel, holiday, walk, explore or exercise anywhere in the world. Perfect for curious travellers who want to know the whole story when visiting National Trust sites, ancient monuments, capitol cities, foreign countries, local historical sites, public parks & other tourist / travel destinations in the largest outdoor museum that is Walkfo. Walkfo's travel and tourism engine has millions of facts ready for you to explore - and if you are somewhere new to Walkfo, it will scan the area to create an interactive audio tour / outdoor open museum ready for you to explore within minutes. Tourist destinations can now create their own content to augment Walkfo's millions of facts, with outdoor museums created for places like Bournemouth, Dorset. By creating an app based technology that works like the audio headset usually only available within art galleries or museums, Walkfo users can explore outdoor spaces freely (and for free for 10 hrs initial use) anywhere in the world hear from millions of facts already available or to access 'public walks' created by tourist destinations for a safer, more immersive & mindful experience. The '100 Amazing Bournemouth Area Places' is a fantastic example of a walkable, outdoor museum with the main audio points being based around the centre of the town. Simply install the app and start to walk around the town centre and Walkfo will give you the option to join in the outdoor open museum / audio trail walk.

Description of Walkfo

Walkfo is the ultimate travel guide that works like a museum or art gallery audio guide / tour guide - but without the limits of the building ... you walk wherever YOU want and our AI tour guide is your companion. Go walking, running, cycling or even driving with Walkfo anywhere on any holiday, staycation or travels to hear hidden history & facts about everything you pass (and things further away, if you wish) with millions of audio facts covering the whole of the UK & now USA. Walkfo uses GPS to map your walk & generate an interactive audio experience in realtime with millions of UK English heritage, history & cultural audio facts. The 'Your Progress' section tracks the distance you've walked, steps you've taken and length of walk to help record progress in health & fitness programs, whether in local lockdown, UK holiday, travel staycation or day-trip visit to London. The latest addition, Public Walks, allows tourist destinations & attractions to create themed walks with unique information that might not be available anywhere online or in books. These walks are free to explore - allowing you to find nature trails, history walks, garden guides, city tours & more. Go on a ‘walk near me’ anywhere in the UK & Walkfo does the rest, creating an audio tour to enjoy a walk safely & in the moment, engaged with the hidden world of history, culture & local places of interest - and if you 'bump into' a themed walk, Walkfo will let you know and allow you to join that walk. TYPE OF INFORMATION: history & key events buildings & architecture famous & influential people geology & science cultural moments literary & movie features Our AI smart guide will learn about what the information you love, to focus on the facts that interest you as you walk around listening on AirPods, earphones or speakers. And you can help shape the future by liking and disliking facts to help Walkfo know even better what kind of facts people want to hear. So leave your tour guide behind, throw away your travel book and stop 'watching your phone' when you are at an exciting destination because Walkfo will create a unique audio ‘walkcast’ dynamically, so you can be in the moment as you explore and hear all about the world around you … without looking at your screen and missing a thing. Perfect for international tourists visiting London who want to 'just walk around' to learn about the places they pass, for staycation holiday makers visiting places like Bath city for a short break or ramblers on walking day trips at England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales monuments or historic sites. TECHNICAL FEATURES: In the preferences menu, you can choose to: + Set walk distance target: the longer your walk / larger the radius, the more information will be gathered + Regions facts: turn on / off the most general information about the area (county or major city level, for example) + Area facts: turn on / off local area information about the area (town or borough level, for example) + Plaques facts: turn on / off plaques information (plaques may have very simple details) + Fact intensity: set how often you hear more general facts if you are not close to a 'spot' + Walk-past sensitivity: set the proximity sensitivity to a 'spot' to trigger the audio (closer is better for cities / farther is better for countryside) + Reset 'played' facts - remove the 'remembered' facts that won't get played again in your app + Add and remove 'public walks' manually

  • Perfect for a relaxing walk

    Working in different parts of England makes this app really handy. Instead of being stuck in hotels, going for a stroll and finding new interesting facts about the area and its history is just fantastic. Definitely worth using it along your earpods for a better experience.
  • Very impressive

    I downloaded this because I wanted to do something a bit different when doing my daily walk. I have learned so much about my local area and my husband laughs that I’m now a walking tour guide because every time we are out locally I keep telling him stuff I’ve learnt from using the app. Definitely makes my daily exercise more interesting.
