SF Visitor Guide vs Hey Robin

Created by an award-winning local tour guide, this San Francisco app uncovers hidden gems, provides bookable tours, and showcases locals’ favorites. Featuring a user-friendly map and offline access, it offers an authentic, insider’s guide to the city.

Hey Robin plans your trip and then comes along. Built together with real local experts, Robin plans around your interests and budget. When you get there, it guides you throughout the day with expert-curated guides. PLANNING Give Robin the basics: where, when, who's coming, what you're into, and roughly what you want to spend. It comes back with a full day-by-day plan. The famous sights are in there, but so are the neighborhood places and the restaurants that fit your budget. Days are timed so you're not crossing the city three times before lunch. Don't like something? Drag a stop to another day, or tell Robin "make Tuesday slower" and it will. Your bookings, reservations and budget all sit in one place, so you can see what's confirmed, what still needs booking, and what the whole thing costs. WHEN YOU'RE THERE On the day, open the map. Your stops are numbered in walking order with the route drawn between them. As you reach each one, Robin tells you what you're looking at and why it matters. Read it, or have it read to you while you walk. Wondering what a dish is, or what that odd building on the corner used to be? Take a photo and ask. Robin tells you what it knows and admits it when it isn't sure. If it's going to pour on the day you planned the gardens, Robin reworks the day. If there's a concert or a street festival near you tonight, it shows up next to your plan. You decide. IT GETS TO KNOW YOU Nothing here is generic. Robin starts from your interests, your pace and your budget, and the more trips you take, the better it gets at guessing what you'll like. NO TRIP? ASK "WHAT SHOULD I DO TODAY?" Robin also plans a day out from wherever you are. A free Saturday, a few hours in a new city, an afternoon in your own town you've never really explored. ALSO IN THE APP • Prepare: visa and health rules, money tips, a few phrases with pronunciation, and books and films to get you in the mood • Budget: what you've booked, plus realistic estimates for the rest • Reservations: which tables, tickets and tours to book before you go • Gifts: ideas for the people back home, and where along your route to find them • Sharing: post your trip as a code so friends and family can follow along, or copy it and make it theirs Organizing your trips with Robin is free.
