Great guide!

I downloaded this app for my trip to Paris and loved it! It was so fun to learn more about the landmarks and all historic information as I was going along exploring. What I also love is that you can still use it to explore virtually even when no longer in the area. So once I got home, I can still go back and relive my amazing trip to Paris!

Dream Paris Vacation

My husband and I went to Paris for our 20th Anniversary. This was our first time in Europe. We started using Routes our first day and couldn’t imagine this trip without it. We learned so much about Paris just by listening while we walked all over the city. It transitioned from monument information and history highlights so seamlessly. The audio was great and we loved to speed it up(1.5x) sometimes to get more information before we moved on. I loved being able to take pictures of monuments or buildings and learn about things that most people just walk by. Twi of our favorite guided tours were Notre Dame and Versailles. If I had any questions or comments, I was able to submit them on the app and they responded within minutes sometimes. I will never do another trip without this app, and I may use it to explore the city I live in also. It is affordable and easy to use. It will make any vacation or exploration so much better.

Quelques améliorations nécessaires mais je recommande les visites

Application très intéressante avec des visites qui sortent de l’ordinaire. Les histoires racontées sont bien faites. Cependant certains audits se dégradent avec des voix qui deviennent très dégradé une fois l’audio lancé ou le volume sonore de la voix qui baisse et on n’entend plus. La synchronisation avec la carte ne se fait pas très bien non plus, il serait plus agréable de pouvoir gérer nous même notre position et affirmer que nous sommes au bon endroit où de passer plus facilement les musiques d’attentes pour avoir l’histoire

A must for your trip to Paris

We loved using Le Walk on our recent trip to Paris. It enhanced our city experience as well as our time at Versailles gardens, the Orsay and the L’ Orangerie. A great find.

Updated : looks like the free Le Walk App is gone and now is a charge site. Too bad. It was a great service.

Feature & Pricing Suggestion from a Local Resident

I love using your app to explore Paris, but the new 3-day, 7-day, and 1-month passes only suit short-term tourists. As a local resident, I don't explore every day, so paying for consecutive days doesn't make sense. Please consider adding flexible options for locals and new resident-focused routes!
