## What is DestinationTours?

Discover the best of any city with Destination Tours — your personal travel companion designed for hotel guests who want to explore like a local.

SELF-GUIDED CITY TOURS
Explore at your own pace with beautifully crafted walking tours. Each tour includes stunning photos, turn-by-turn directions, and insider recommendations from locals who know the city best. Whether you have an hour or a full day, find the perfect adventure waiting outside your hotel.

TOP ATTRACTIONS & INSIDER TIPS
Skip the tourist traps and discover what makes each neighborhood special. Browse curated attractions with essential details like hours, locations, and the local tips guidebooks don't tell you. From hidden gems to must-see landmarks, we've got you covered.

AUDIO NARRATION
Listen to engaging stories and historical insights as you explore. Our audio guides bring each stop to life, letting you keep your eyes on the sights instead of your screen.

HOTEL INFO AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Everything you need to know about your hotel — address, amenities, hours, and contact details — all in one place. No more calling the front desk for simple questions.

EXCLUSIVE OFFERS & PROMOTIONS
Enjoy special deals and personalized promotions from your hotel and local partners. Get discounts on dining, spa services, tours, and more — delivered right to your phone during your stay.

MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT
Traveling from abroad? Explore with confidence in your preferred language. Our tours and attraction descriptions are available in multiple languages so nothing gets lost in translation.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Scan the QR code at your hotel
2. Browse tours and attractions
3. Start exploring at your own pace

Destination Tours transforms how hotel guests experience travel. Instead of spending hours researching or wandering aimlessly, guests get a curated, local perspective on the best their destination has to offer.

  - Pull-to-refresh is now tinted blue, only shows the  
  spinner on manual pulls, and keeps page chrome visible  
  while loading. Navy background restored on Discover + 
  Offers.

  backgrounds (no bleed-through).
