Guidera is an iPhone AI tour guide that tells source-checked stories about any place on the map, in 9 languages. Tap a cathedral, a square or a quiet side street and hear its story. Before your guide says a word, Guidera researches the place in Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, OpenStreetMap and official city websites, and a verifier removes anything the sources don't support. For little-known places, your guide says less instead of making things up, and the sources are listed under every story.

Free: one featured tour at a time (text), unlocked by a short video. Premium: up to 10 tours with audio. • Build your own tour, free: name it, pick a city and add up to 30 stops. Or tap any place on the map and choose "Add to a tour". • Share tours as links: friends with Guidera open the tour in the app; everyone else sees the stop list on a web page. You can stop sharing at any time. • Story cards: share a place story or a finished walk to Instagram Stories, WhatsApp and more, with your own photo. The photo never leaves your phone. • On the last stop, "Next" becomes "Finish", followed by a Tour complete screen. • New featured tours load by themselves, and stories open reliably after the app wakes in the background. ### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-27 Stories you can trust, now faster Guidera 1.2 changed how your guide learns about a place. Before telling a story, it researches the place in real sources: Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikivoyage travel guides, OpenStreetMap and official city and heritage websites. Then it tells you what it found, in your guide's voice. New in 1.2.1 • Faster stories: once a place has been researched, its story opens instantly for everyone, not just on the device that researched it first. • One story per place: a place tells the same story whether you tap it on the map, play it on a tour or hear it in Walkman. • A map when there's no street view: places without street-level imagery now show a clean map of where they are. • Clearer screens in dark mode: settings, place pages and tours are now easy to read when your phone is in dark mode. • Fixed: "Manage ad privacy" in Settings now opens your privacy choices. What came in 1.2 • Researched stories: dates, names, architects and legends come from real sources, not guesswork. • Double-checked: every story is checked against its sources before you hear it. • Sources under every story: see where each fact comes from and open the original page. • Honest when little is known: for a small café or a quiet side street, your guide says so and tells you about the neighbourhood and nearby landmarks instead of inventing history. • Richer famous places: big landmarks get fuller stories, with the surprising detail first instead of a textbook summary. • What's around you: nearby landmarks with real distances and directions. • Smarter chat: follow-up questions are answered from the same researched facts. If the answer isn't there yet, your guide looks it up. • Walkman tours: Walkman plays the same researched stories and prepares the next stop's audio before you arrive (Premium). • Better quick facts: the facts panel now shows only well-sourced details. • Tapping a place on the map opens exactly that place. • Fixed an issue where tour audio could read the facts panel aloud. The first time any place is researched, it takes a little longer. After that, it opens instantly. ### 1.2.1 — 2026-09-26 Stories you can trust, now faster Guidera 1.2 changed how your guide learns about a place.
