Best GPS Walking App
This is the third walking app, we’ve tried, and it’s the best. We’ve tried it in four countries and because it uses GPS there’s no need for mobile data. Each walk provides a list of places to see with a succinct description of each. I’ve particularly like the ability to get a route back to your Walk when you’ve disappeared off down some side streets to find something else that looked interesting. Where there is no Walk, there is often a Travel Article, which we’ve just tried for my hometown, it’s like a walk, without the GPS route, and I learnt something new. Highly recommended

Excellent guide & information source
Very useful way to find your way round a new place. It quickly became our go to app when we arrived somewhere new. Excellent map with plenty of relevant detail. Good walks that pick out the main highlights. Lots of excellent articles with something to suit every taste. The information on the walks is very useful - not too much nor too little. Option to play this narrative via a robotic voice which can be played through earphones but I preferred reading to listening

Crazy directions
I’m on Elm St headed to the attraction which is 2 blocks straight away on Elm St. Directions have been telling me for last .5 mi to “turn left at crosswalk” immediately followed by instruction to “walk south on Elm.” First off, there are no crosswalks at several points where I’m told to turn (and why am I turning when attraction is straight ahead) and instead of “walk south” it would be more helpful to tell me to turn right or left, since I’m not Magellan and really don’t want to take the time to assess the sun’s position and determine which way is south. This is not the first city the app has sent me one way only to immediately direct me back to my original route. I’m inputting attractions this app suggests into my Apple Maps and following the much clearer directions.

Sorry to hear it. The map in this app is provided by a third party. Will give this feedback to the provider.
Great idea but crashes
This app is very useful, providing a great opportunity to casually follow a walking tour and take as long as you like to do it and be flexible for stops along the way. BUT extremely annoyingly crashes constantly, having to re-load constantly, even shutting down mid use. This negative borderline outweighs its positives, as it’s very frustrating to be constantly reloading every time you check your route or on getting to the location, find you e hit to re-load it again to read the fantastic info about it!!
If that can be fixed, and EASY five stars, without doubt!!

Very useful tool
While it can be fun reading lots of reviews of sites and putting together a list of things to see when visiting a city, this App takes most of the legwork out of it.
I recently visited Lisbon and found this to be an incredibly useful tool. You can use one of the existing suggested tours or build your own. In my case I started with one which included the most important sights, and added my hotel and other things I wanted to see to create a personalized tour from the hotel doorstep. As well as maps and integrated GPS each site has a brief description and photographs.
This is a very useful tool for those who want to see the important stuff, all laid out on a map with GPS, but who don’t have a lot of time to delve through guidebooks and Google to put it together from scratch!

Terrific Guide at your Fingertips
I used the app on a recent trip to Italy for
self-guided walks in Milan, Como and Rome. Much of the rest of my trip had live guides. The explanation of the sights to see on the app was as good as the live tour. It's a plus to be able to review the importance of the sights in advance and to see the route you will be following. Besides the map and the explanation of the sights there are a variety of travel articles that provide great additional background. Those articles were very helpful for our visit to Cinque Terre. We plan to go to Japan next year and I look forward to using the app again

Save yourself some cash
On our recent travels we noticed innumerable tour groups walking along side us in our GPS my city tour.
Checking the cost of these trips, the app saves you a lot of money.
We love this App. Upgrade to get the off line version, so you don’t lose signal

Great app for the walking city tourist
Fantastic app to help you explore a new city and understand where all the key tourist sites are. We have found it invaluable to help prioritize what and where to see. Thoroughly recommend it.

An Excellent guide for city travel
Very close to 5 star for me as an easy companion for all the cities I visited in Europe over the past 7 weeks. Terrific sightseeing walks with maps and notes that work off line. Excellent travel information about places to see, things to do. Very useful and heaps better than lugging around a heavy book travel guide. Thank you GPS mycity!

Great App
Just came back from 6 weeks traveling around Europe, not a fan of group tours but still like to site see so this app was perfect for that. We were able to check out the cities at our own pace and being able to add our own hotel in was a great feature as well.
