GuideX
Read full descriptionHide full description
GuideX turns any city into a guided walk. Open the app and the most interesting sights around you are ready to play, each one told as a story by your personal AI guide. STORIES, NOT SEARCH RESULTS Every landmark comes with a story written for walking: what you are looking at, why it matters and the details most visitors miss. Listen to it or read along, in your language. CURIOUS? JUST ASK Ask a follow-up about any place ("Why is there a hole in the dome?") and get the answer on the spot. PICK A GUIDE WITH PERSONALITY Nine guides to choose from, from a classic tour guide to a rapper, a pirate, a robot and a viking. Choose the narration style (historical, statistical, casual, funny or mixed) and how long the stories should be. A WALKING ROUTE IN SECONDS Start a walk through the top sights nearby, or build your own trip: pick the stops yourself or tell the AI what you like and it plans the order, with notes for every stop. EVERY SIGHT ON ONE MAP See the best places around you as photo pins, filter by what interests you and search with ready-made ideas like hidden gems, best museums or free attractions. MADE FOR TRAVELLERS AND LOCALS Visiting a new city or rediscovering your own, GuideX works wherever you are. Track the sights you have heard and earn a badge for every city. GUIDEX PREMIUM - All guides and narration styles - Higher audio limits - Unlimited city changes - No ads Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy policy: https://guidex.city/privacy-policy
