What's New in TouringBee

5.0.11

September 30, 2026

Here's what we've prepared for you in this update: - New: pinch to zoom on tour photos, and the gallery at each stop flips through the pictures on its own. - Rate a tour once you finish it, so other travellers know what to expect. - Your playback speed now stays as you set it after a pause, a new track or a locked screen. - Steadier search: the keyboard no longer jumps and each tour shows up once. - Tour stops on the map are easier to tap, plus smaller fixes throughout.

GPS Guidance

The GPS-based guidance is a clever part of the app. Instead of constantly checking a list of instructions, you can focus on your surroundings while the map and location features help you follow the route.

Data Savings

Offline access makes this app especially convenient for international trips. Once a tour has been purchased, you can listen without relying on mobile data, which is useful when traveling somewhere with expensive data plans.

Real good

I really like the freedom to control the tour myself. Being able to pause the narration, replay interesting sections, or simply stop for a while makes the experience fit naturally around your plans.

good 👍🏿

I like that the tours are designed for independent exploration rather than a fixed group schedule. You move through the city at your own speed, and spend extra time wherever something catches your attention.
