## What is GPSmyCity?

Thousands of self-guided walking tours and travel articles in 1,800+ cities around the world are included in this handy app. No need to hop on a tour bus or join a tour group; now you can explore all the city attractions on your own, at your own pace, and at a cost that is only a fraction of what you would normally pay for a guided tour.

The app is designed to be used offline so No Data Plan or Internet is Needed, and No Roaming either.

The app is free to download. Afterwards, you can evaluate the walking tours - see the attractions and use the fully functional offline maps included in each of the city walk guides, all for free. A small payment – fraction of what you would normally pay for a guided group tour or tour bus tickets – is needed for accessing the walk route maps and activating turn-by-turn navigation functions.

The highlights and features of the FREE app include:
* Thousands of self-guided walking tours that show you what to see in the destination.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. This app gives you the option to turn off the GPS tracking in the background to prolong the battery life. It is also suggested that you bring with you an external battery.

Note: This app relies on GPS for its navigation functions. For best experience, it is recommended to use the app on iPhone and iPad cellular+WiFi models. It is not recommended to use the app on iPad WiFi-only models due to lack of built-in GPS support in these models.

### 5/5 — Our personal city guide.

*2026-08-26*

Love this app. We use it in every city and plan our visits in conjunction with the app. The information is great and it’s part of our visiting every city we go to. This trip we’ve used it in over 10 cities. 
Easy interface that works perfectly. Great commentary. 

Highly highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-08-17, version 5.3.8*

Great

### 5/5 — Even in my own city I learned things

*2026-08-04*

Installed the app, because a friend of mine recommended it. Before leaving on vacation I decided to try it out. 

I downloaded a city near by that I used to live in and started to looks at the tours. The tours were great , suggested cool spots to visit.

Localizations is great, it indicates the distance you are of the point of interest and map the path. 

I feel I can’t wait to get to my destination with this tool

### 5/5 — A great guide when traveling

*2026-08-04*

As independent travelers we like to explore on our own. GPSmycity makes this easy with guided walks to a huge number of cities. The paid version of the app makes it easy to find your way around and avoids the ads.

### 5/5 — Great walking tours

*2026-07-26, version 5.3.8*

I have used the app in a couple of cities and it has nice walks and great information about the local sights.

### 4/5 — Excellent App

*2026-07-25, version 5.3.8*

Really useful app, we used it in the Baltic and Berlin. The walks were easy to navigate and the information helpful. It was a great way to safe space in our luggage

### 4/5 — Great Guide

*2026-07-24, version 5.3.8*

This app is so helpful in planning a walking tour. We found the information for the sights helpful and informative. We liked being able to add our own spots too (like our hotel) so we could see distances and plan accordingly. The gps guide is also helpful. The only issue we had was when we changed directions away from the original map it did not recalculate. The directions were not always direct.

### 5/5 — Easy and helpful

*2026-07-23*

I’ve used this app a couple of times for trips and love the ability to find key attractions with a write up to aid in understanding the reason for the attraction. The real time mapping to get me there is also amazing to save using my data.

### 5/5 — Used all over the world

*2026-07-23, version 5.3.8*

We have used this app all over the world and found that the ~2 hour walks are great introductions to a new city.

### 5/5 — Great city travel app

*2026-07-14, version 5.3.8*

I have used this App in Asia, South America, Europe and the USA. I never leave home without it!
