Travel Guide turns your mobile device into a personal tour guide: • the application knows the best routes in the city, • it figures out where you are and • a voice recording, made by a local guide, describes the sights around you. You don’t need to read text from your phone, just listen and enjoy a city’s attractions while your virtual tour guide explains it all and shares personal insights. Download tours and you can use the app offline so you save on roaming charges. Travel Guide presents a collection of audio tours of the best locations and insider hangouts in various cities. With different thematic tours available in a continuously growing number of cities, there will always be something to fit your interest; alternatively you are free to wander around the city, letting PocketGuide inform you when an interesting sight is nearby. All of the tours are developed by the best local tour guides who know their cities like no one else. This intuitive application guides you with voice navigation and fits comfortably in your pocket.

No test drive. Prices are not reasonable - we got normal guide for comparable price (Kiev) Also, application has irritating voice auto-play function, introducing its features - keep it in mind when you will launch app for the first time. ### 2/5 — Poket *2012-07-22* It's very nice ### 3/5 — Thanks *2012-04-17* But should put more info about ASEAN suggested Laos ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2012-04-02* This app needs huge download space, not easy to work out and negotiate and claims to be free but really just gives you 'credit' to buy one of their tours. ### 5/5 — Really cool *2012-01-21* This is a really AWSOME app. ### 5/5 — What the difference... *2012-01-08* ...between PocketGuide and this one? ## Frequently asked questions about Travel Guide ### What is the Travel Guide app?
