User reviews

Both audio and support stopped working

Have used Gesso for a couple of years for guided walks created for charity. All the sudden the audio stopped working. Not just mine but on all tours. Contacted Gesso multiple times by email, chat and even their Instagram account where I can see it was read, but nobody responds. Until this is solved I can not recommend Gesso and urge you to find an alternative.

Great audio tour!

I was looking for a last-minute guided walking tour in New York City today but couldn’t find one. I decided to search for an audio tour instead. I came across Gesso and did the Greenwich Village tour. It was fantastic! I will definitely use Gesso again.

Love it

Did exactly what it promised and the tour content could not have higher quality

I feel like I understand the places I visit now

My only issue with this app is that there aren’t MORE audio tours.

There’s something special about walking somewhere, be it strolling over the Brooklyn bridge, or roaming around Florence and learning about the history of where you are.

It takes you back in time, you feel like you can understand the culture and community around you on a deeper level.

I referenced Brooklyn and Florence because they’re the only two I’ve been able to try! Hopefully there are more to come soon 😁

Great app!

Game changer!

Life without Gesso isn’t the same anymore. I want it on everywhere all the time!
