Good to know Madeira Bus is an independent planner, not the official SIGA app. It does not sell bus tickets. Madeira’s bus times and stops can change — always check the latest SIGA timetable and confirm departure and boarding place with local staff or the driver before relying on a journey, especially the last bus or a tight connection. If a stop, route or timetable looks wrong, send feedback from the app. Support: support@madeirabus.com Web: https://madeirabus.com • Trailheads and day trips — check trailhead bus options in the app (confirm boarding on the day)

ChapterWalks makes audio walking tours of places the guidebooks rush. Not the twenty cities every tour app already covers. Roman ruins on an African plain, baroque towns built from stone that carves like wood, a Silk Road city most travel apps have never heard of. Places worth a guided walk that rarely get a good one. HOW IT WORKS Buy a tour, download it, and walk. Each stop plays where you're standing — the app offers the right audio as you reach each place, or you can play any stop manually. Download before you go: the audio and every stop's text need no signal on the walk. WHAT IT COSTS Every tour is $4.99, yours forever. All Tours, Forever is $79.99 — every current and future tour, one payment. No subscription, nothing renews, no ads. Stop 1 of every tour is free, full length, before you pay anything. HOW IT'S MADE The narration is written with AI, fact-checked against published sources claim by claim, and reviewed by a human before release. Every factual claim cites a source you can read in the app. We're open about all of this because we think the tours stand on it. Narration is in English.
